Full recruiting effort indicates to me that Penn State both maxed out all recruiting options AND they were on the recruit with AP's from the start. Anything less is not full recruiting effort in my opinion.

Those initial AP's from the team that was on the recruit first continue to accrue, especially if scholly, home visit and campus visits are made early. That's not a small impact. It's good recruiting strategy and rewards the team that made the effort to find and go after the recruit early. Penn State had that opportunity but did not do so immediately, from what I've read here.

Here's what everyone is saying.

APs in itself are worth the same whether they're applied day 1 or day 3.

HOWEVER, if you the recruit has a preference of wants to play and you promise a start on day 1 then your subsequent APs after that point will now carry that additional preference bonus.

So, how many of PSU's APs were carrying that additional VG preference vs Regis's APs is the question here. That would impact the overall 'effort' total.

Edit - not just APs carrying the additional VG but also the HVs and CV.

Yes, I think you're getting it now. Now explain it to the hater-in-chief and maybe he'll stop posting misinformation.
