    Noticed that all of our '19 commits are ***

    2017: 290.2 pass/game, 170.2 rush/game, 41.1 pts/game 2018: 218.2 pass/game, 204.8 rush/game, 33.8 pts/game As you pointed out, I don't think many PSU fans were surprised to see the run game improve in 2018 because of the combination of Sanders' running style and the development of the OL. The...

    The schedules aren't quite the same either. It's not fair to compare Ash/Rutgers to CP/Boise.

    Stevens was also hurt most of the year. And as good as Clifford looked in flashes, there's no way you're benching McSorley for him.

    Noticed that all of our '19 commits are ***

    Trace was banged up and didn't play well after the OSU game if we're being honest. Kid is a legend. But I wouldn't hold your breath expecting a significant drop-off in PSU's offense from 2018 to 2019, if a drop-off occurs at all. Slade has more burst than Sanders, the WRs are ridiculously...

    Possible PSU two-deep on offense as of 2/21. Guys with starting experience in capitals. I think things are going to be OK. #recruiting QB: Stevens (3*) OR Clifford (4) RB: Slade (5) / Holmes (4) / Cain (4) WR: HAMLER (4) / Hippenhammer (3) WR: Shorter (5) / Campbell (5) WR: DOTSON (4) / George...

    A humorous reminder to not lose sleep over recruiting rankings

    A reminder to use 247 rankings and the composite while ignoring Rivals rankings. FIFY.

    Md does it again

    I agree with your overall point, but the idea that State College or even Centre County is supporting attendance of 100,000+ is incorrect. The majority of fans at PSU games drive in from Philly, NJ/NY, Pittsburgh, Maryland/Virginia, etc. You're correct in that central PA doesn't have much going...

    Md does it again

    In the past 20 years, PSU has withstood its worst five-year stretch in program history (2000-2004), half of your 10-year example, and had to deal with the Sandusky scandal. Neither did more than put a small dent in attendance. Comparing the connection between the Maryland fan base for a...

    Agree with you guys on this. I see a lot of similarities between Franklin/PSU and how Clemson progressed under Dabo. The key differentiator at this point would be financial support and facilities. PSU still has some catching-up to do with that upper tier.

    Md does it again

    Franklin is very much a CEO-style head coach/program builder. Which is fine. He is not an X's and O's guy the caliber of the other coaches you mentioned, but with Urban Meyer retiring, Franklin might well be the best HC recruiter in the nation right now. Locksley isn't at that level on the...

    Md does it again

    I think the bigger point is getting a single 4-star kid isn't enough. You'll always have blue-chip recruits who bust and lower-rated kids who blossom. But the data overwhelmingly suggests that you should recruit as many 4- and 5-star prospects as possible. In fact, if you want to win...

    Cross wanted FSU. The parents, or at least one of them, wanted PSU. Maryland was the compromise. I wish the kid well, but I can't help but wonder if he'll regret this in a year or two.

    Md does it again

    You lost me here. Attendance at PSU ranked fourth nationally in 2000 (5-7), second in 2001 (5-6) and 2003 (3-9), and fourth in 2004 (4-7). In the years immediately following the scandal, with a mediocre product on the field, PSU averaged 98,684 fans from 2012-2015. With the way PSU is...

    Locks will be a factor in recruiting the state of Maryland, but before you guys anoint him, he didn't exactly "flip" this kid so much as Cross' parents wouldn't let him attend his first choice.

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    That's correct. Once a player enters the transfer portal, his scholarship at his current university is no longer guaranteed.
