STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – Penn State’s current message to prospective recruits sounds a bit unusual: Keep your options open until the school finally settles on a replacement for ousted Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno.
It could hurt the quality of Penn State’s next recruiting class. But interim coach Tom Bradley wants to maintain transparency with potential Nittany Lions following child sex-abuse charges against a former assistant coach that left the program in turmoil.
Bradley says he’s been honest with prospective Nittany Lions. He has also interviewed to be the permanent replacement.
Paterno, who turns 85 on Wednesday, was fired last month in the aftermath of the scandal. He’s battling what his family has called a treatable form of lung cancer.
