Ah, shoot. Dreams dashed, sucks.

BGJ ruined more than just QBs.

Neither were particularly outstanding at PSU. Life happens.

 

[Marshall2323]

where have all the good trolls gone.

Less than 70 P4 coaching jobs in the nation. The best in the business. Paid between 8 and 13 million per year for their knowledge and expertise. 50 million CRITICS paid what they are worth zero.

I liked Kobe King.

good in college doesn't equate too good enough for the NFL

Who ruined you?

Not always. It’s a tough industry to get into and maintain.

Back to Hell?

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Who ruined you?

No one. What about you,?

 

[Nittering Nabob]

You're still here

 

[Tor_Eckman]

Who ruined you?

A test tube.

 

[CVLion]

where have all the good trolls gone?

Gone to test boards, every one?

(Gotta use the Kingston Trio tune in your head)

 

[bbrown]

A test tube.

I was going to say a gay black man from Pittsburgh but that will work too.

Wait, can we use them back at Penn State as depth pieces? Hmmmm........

Pssst (I'm joking)

True but to be fair to Kobe he did make the Vikings last year and I'm 99% sure I read he was released with a medical settlement this year. He'll probably get another shot. At best a STer but might stick around when healthy

 

[razpsu]

Seriously, are they eligible for psu?

 

[LionJim]

Seriously, are they eligible for psu?

B1G says no. They would have to sue.

 

[DaytonRickster]

B1G says no. They would have to sue.

Can they legally force any team to take them? I suspect a team would have to offer before they come back. If they can compel a team to offer them, then this has gone completely rudderless.

 

[KingLando]

The only people that can return are those that didn't get the 5 in 5 option. It impacts one class...can everyone stop pretending guys that graduated/left years ago are coming back?

I know that but it doesn't answer the question. Can a player compel a team to take him even if he has a year left? I say they should not be able to. The university decides if there is interest just like with HS recruiting and the transfer portal. There is no inherent right to play a sport in college.

I thought there was a court order compelling colleges to take that back if they 5 th yr

SEC agrees to comply with court order on former NFL players

The SEC has cried uncle.

I thought about that, I suspect the college would have to be party to the lawsuit. So to answer your question: no. (Not a lawyer.)

I answered this before reading Sluggo’s post just above. Math is easy.

My response wasn't intended for your particular question--primarily directed at the question of if Kobe can return
Nothing I've read supports a school MUST bring a player back
The courts prohibited the SEC/NCAA from prohibiting players from returning and issues a restraining order for the 5v5 case

That doesn't mean they have to take a guy--it just means the SEC can't tell Kiffin and others that they can't
The SEC was never winning that case--it was beyond stupid by all the conferences to try to enforce that.

Add Tariq Castro-Fields and Dan Chisena to the cut list

 

[FK3JM]

Add Amani Oruwariye, Mitchell Tinsley, Trebor Pena to the cuts list. Thought Tinsley was getting decent reps in Cincinnati last season - but I guess maybe that was just because of injuries.

Surprised about Tinsley, he seemed to be doing well with Cincy last year.
Amani has had a very nice NFL Career.

Will Levis now out of a job.

 

[KingLando]

Will Levis now out of a job.

New regime, took a QB #1 after him, injuries, etc...
Best for him if he moves on--don't have high hopes for him but his time in Nashville had to end

 

[Psurosco]

The prior regime drafted Ward. Saleh was hired in January 2026.

My fault for not being clear--I'm well aware of that--I wasn't saying the new regime drafted Ward--I said "new regime, took a QB #1 after him" meaning after Levis and the comma was indicating separate points.

 

[BobPSU92]

Will Levis now out of a job.

Soon after Sean Clifford graduated, a video of Levis throwing accurate “lasers” at a PSU practice surfaced on the interwebs. Some folks here creamed their shorts. Then Levis turned traitor, and the creamers turned screamers.

Levis is a big athletic guy with a great arm, and that's what got him drafted. Unfortunately, I tend to believe he is a slightly bigger version of Kenny Pickett and not a guy anyone wants as an NFL starter.
