Cael in an interview this week addressed this very thing and said, "we are not going get anybody because of NIL money, that just goes against what we believe. We're always going to be a little slow to change, we're not very worldly as far as we approach things as a staff as a program..." Later he adds, "but at the same time you're going to take care of your kids. Penn State has a great alumni network, very loyal people."
A little double speak but the general gist I got is PSU isn't going to get into bidding wars for a recruit.
