Penn State signing day
- Thread starter Rutgers85_rivals
- Start date
an interesting take with some interesting comments............
Unfortunately, Penn State will be just fine…
also, the CEO of Crumbl cookies apparently put the money up to keep the BYU coach right where he was. BYU fans then started sending Crumbl cookies to the psu offices
Franklin did this today at VT....well played pettiness
VT fans in on the cookies as well

This all depends on who they get as a coach. They played this hire horribly wrong. Classic example of them thinking they have a higher standing in the hierarchal landscape than they actually do. But if they get someone that can attract in the portal not signing a high school class will have little effect.
Not sure why programs take as many as they do from high school. Outside of can’t miss blue chip the value prop is just not there.

All the kids in the portal all started as HS recruits...just saying
Exactly. And those same kids in the portal have 1-3 years experience and S&C.
The whole thing sucks but you can’t plan for developing an entire roster 2-3 years down the road. All you’re doing is developing someone else’s roster.
I get it but you asked why schools take so many HS recruits. Schools still have to take them regardless of the portal otherwise, the portal is empty in 2 years from now.
HS recruits are much cheaper to sign then portal recruits & some will develop & stick with the team that recruited out of HS
so much for PSU being a 'destination position'
Yea thought was pretty obvious
. And like I said being a “development program” is assbackwards. Very low probability of development players panning out or being with the program beyond 2-3 years with the present state of portal.
its just a darn shame
they are not currently even ranked.

Rutgers couldn't poach any of those recruits? Two picked WVU... really?
I wish we sealed the deal with the win on Aat to really make sure the sky is falling pysche was in effect in PA. Unfortunately I’ll just have to chuckle at the petty and hilarious crumbl cookie trolls.
And we still fail to beat them any year FML
The cookie thing is high high level pettiness…I’m here for it!!!
When you don't have a NIL warchest you have to recruit HS kids more, portal is too expensive for proven talent.Yea thought was pretty obvious
the first comment I agree with - Penn State totally screwed this up. starting with firing Franklin after a few losses. after constantly keeping them in the NC hunt. As much as think the guy is a total douchebag - he could recruit!!! They are gonna have a very hard time finding someone better - particularly now that they have demonstrated how delusional they are as an institution.
they second part I dont agree with - as much as a wish it to be true. Penn State was recruiting TOP NOTCH TALENT up until this class - how is Penn State not relevant and uncool? again, as much as WANT that to be true, the recruiting success they have had with Franklin proves that utterly false.
with all the above said - I am truly loving this right now
Not true. Would rather spend money on a 20-22 year old with 2 years of S&C under their belt than 18-19 year old that won’t see the field for 2-3 years or at all. Pay 2 years vs 5.
Also most of the reported NIL numbers are way over reported. Need someone to come in and manage the roster design. Because this and last year were awful.

They did just fine after their coach was sodomizing little boys in the locker room showers. So in the era of the portal it’s not as bad as it appears. Assuming they actually find a coach, slim pickings right now for anyone proven
It’s an incredible fall considering they were ranked #2 in the country just 3 months ago
I’m not trying to be argumentative, but to say obvious, that isn’t true. You still need the same number of kids coming from HighSchool no matter what.Yea thought was pretty obvious
Neither am I. More talking about how it hasn’t changed to a true farm system. Not sure you will ever see the 25-30 high school classes that were the norm. They will be the 15-20.
And the 5-10 kids that are skipped will sign somewhere else. I think you may be right for the OSU/Bama’s but every HS kid they don’t sign leaves a kid that will sign somewhere else
I cant enjoy this because even during a week that is their low point in 30 years on field success wise, we still cant beat them. They will probably get smoked in whatever bowl game
Let's see how I feel about the State Penn situation.......................
and just last year they were 3 points short of going to the NC game and finished with 13 wins.
and then fire their coach midway through the following season after a couple bad loses (cant even count Oregon as a bad loss).
its utterly insane... and I hate Franklin but the results speak for themselves.
this debacle is 100% due to the complete delusion of their fan base and administration. totally delusional and bungled.
...and again, I'm loving it
