All I have to say in regards to Franklin is not many of the Good PSU players followed him to VT, whereas almost every high end ISU player followed MC to PSU. Franklin landed a lot of potential candidates and backups. He got Grunk and Reynolds...that is about it for starters. You had several PSU...
Problem is under the current construct you can't institute a cap or anything that limits players abilities to get paid. As soon as you try it guess what your going to court and lose the courts have already set the precedent that NCAA cannot stop players form getting paid. Only way to change it...
I think its pretty simple...Grunk while a good QB is 1 guy and if something happened to him PSU would be in a very desperate position as no backup was in house and ready. By moving on from Grunk Campbell added Becht for next year and Manske who will be in year 2 of this offensive system and was...
Sooooooo Glad we didn't get Matt Ruhl, That would have been a disaster. Glad Nebraska threw more money at him to continue to destroy that program. They have worst recruiting class in the BIG for 2026 and now losing commits from the portal is a new low.
We actually have 3 GM's, so that group has to be working OT right now figuring all this out. I think that was a pretty good coup getting all 3 guys to come in and work together. Derek Hoodger came from ISU with coach Campbell to be the GM then they added the GM from Cincinati and UConn...the...
Yep...He is better than Mack....so everyone worrying about guys leaving, which is happening at EVERY program just slow down and let Coach Campbell and his team work and lets see where we are in a couple weeks. Just like IMO ....Becht and Manske are better than just having Grunk.
They may not care, but they do have to get through university acceptance and schedule classes prior to the start of the semester, otherwise they cant be in school and be training and practiciing with the team.
Olesh is a perfect example of not falling in love with star rankings, He couldnt even get on the field this year at all even though CJF Paid him a HUGE bag just to get him to PSU over scUM. Even if you want to RS him he can still play in 4 games for free, so anyone worth playing would play and...
If Campbell and company are not after him that is telling as well since they have seen him play up close for a long time and may know he is not BIG caliber player. Watch which ISU players PSU is targeting is as important as whio they are not.
You do realize almost every one of the main guy's PSU would want to retain are staying! 90% of guys who left weren't going to play anyway. Only major losses are Coleman, Grunk(This will be mitigated by Becht AND Manske) Manske is a big get here to have 2 QB's vs 1 if Grunk stayed, Gilliam, Mack...
My hope is Grunk stays and Manske comes on board as backup, but that is probabaly unrealiztic. More likely Grunk leaves and both ISU guys come in and Manske backs up Becht for one season then has a chance to be the starter with 3 yrss ub the system
