I think we need to operate under the principle of charity until we see the product on the field.

Sometimes college football seems like waking up from a dream. I can't really believe this is what it's come to. Thousands of kids transferring every year. It's so broken.

 

[KingLando]

Jaden Rashada back in the portal--maybe this time he goes down to DII and might play

 

[Wow]

Grunk is gone and Becht is our starting QB. The decision has been made.

The argument with Becht is the same as with Campbell. He’s been in the system and has done more with less around him.

This will turn out to be Campbell’s biggest mistake.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Those are some nice options.

 

[NOYDB]

This will turn out to be Campbell’s biggest mistake.

How do you know this is Campbells fault? What kind of inside info do you have?
What money was offered?

 

[Shepdogg]

Bring Grunk back at any cost.

 

[KingLando]

Bring Grunk back at any cost.

There's maybe a handful of guys in college football that fall into that category. Grunk isn't one. He's gone. Campbell has his QB for 2026 and his QB for the future lined up
I wish Grunk the best. Hopefully he's smart enough to go anywhere other than VA Tech. Franklin won't build an offense around him.

Bring Grunk back at any cost.

Huh? At any cost. I don’t think so. Good player? Yes. Unproven in big moments? Yes. Worth “at any cost”? No.

You think there is some sort of huge bidding war for Grunk in which we couldn’t compete? IMO Campbell is bringing in Becht as a comfortable security blanket. Again, IMO, I think Grunk is an NFL caliber QB and is going to be a star college player.

I’d love to have Grunk back but way too much behind the scenes that we don’t know to say wether getting him ‘at all costs’ is justified.

I don’t think there’s much of a bidding war for Grunk. If so, this system is even more broken than we thought. He’s a good, young, unproven QB. He’s not an experienced, highly successful veteran.

Wafle portal too

And three time Pennsylvania heavyweight state champions in wrestling are not bad people to pick up as depth pieces on the offensive line.

Wrestling is wrestling and football is football. All-American 7 foot volleyball player does not equate to a Duke basketball offer.

FFS. Make up your mind and commit to something kid.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Question: is there a free site that lists the DTs and LBers PSU is pursuing in the portal?

 

[FK3JM]

Gonna lose 40 guys and keep 30. Off to a great start.

Sadly, this is another example (Wafle) of a player who may be overmatched at the B1G level.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

I for one, don't mind all this movement. Think it's good for college football to have the Indiana's and Ole Misses in the final four.

Sounds like some of our posters as well.

That happens. I had a friend who was a considerably better mathematician than me, he washed out at a top-ten school while I squeaked by at Maryland (#16 by one legitimate ranking around the time I graduated). Yeah, I know, I gotta stop bringing math into everything. Carry on.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Will the last PSU kid to not enter the portal pleased turn the lights off

There's been a handful of names that are remotely matter so far and they may not once we add from the portal

 

[OhioLion]

I have to say, if this is the biggest mistake he makes, this team is in good shape moving forward!
I liked Grunk, but when are we going to let our coaches coach? Campbell’s team, Campbell’s decisions. Guarantee he doesn’t care what we think.

 

[Shepdogg]

No one wants to hear this, but I blame Franklin. Prove me wrong

 

[TheWizardofCamelot]

There are like 2-3 kids leaving that I could even see contributing.

Campbell is flipping the roster. Do some of you still want the stench of Franklin’s regime around? Not me.
