The promoter side = recruiter, and that’s half the game, maybe more with the portal. Hendrickson, Amine, and Hamiti are all evidence of what the DT name and reputation can do for a lineup in that regard. And not sure if you heard Plott’s post match interview but these guys love and respect DT as a coach and mentor.
As far as coaching, I don’t think there is any denying this team is more offensive minded than the past. Guys are consistently chasing bonus points when they have the opportunity. Amine today looked like he’d lost after the match because he came up just short of a major. That’s the mentality you have to have for the postseason and what Penn State excels at.
