2027 Recruiting Thread

Yes, let's have a message board where everyone thinks the same. People with opinions that differ from the majority are dangerous. There is no telling where such subterfuge could lead.
It could lead to revolution or a coup d'etat.....a sudden and violent overthrow of the the Kraft/Campbell regime and an attempt to reinstate James Franklin. This is serious.
Indiana is national champion and Curt Cignetti must be worshipped. As no one has ever coached a national championship football team before. He is the way and the light. LOL
Boohoo and I always just wanted to have friends here. Everyone is so kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. Do we have an arm patch to wear?
I'm very excited to watch Campbell achieve excellence at the highest level. Franklin's failures are "in the books." Along with his 104-45 record 2 conference championship appearances, one championship, 5 top 10 finishes, 6 seasons of 10 or more wins.
2 playoff wins, and Fiesta, Cotton and Rose Bowl victories. Let's make some hard and fast predictions about what Campbell's career record will be at PSU. What do you predict? How many NC? If he coaches 150 games, what are you willing to say his record will be. Because he's sooooo much better than CJF who by the way, had a better record than PSU had in it's previou 150 (before his tenure).
We Deserve Better......
That’s excellent news. I actually believe that he is one of the more important recruits in the class. He and Montgomery will form that core interior D line of the future.
Marshall is so annoying I now have him on ignore. I encourage others to do so as your board experience will become remarkably improved. Jesus Christ could become the head coach here and he would have problems with him.
I really dont understand posters who make judgements on Campbell before he's ever coached a game yet as Penn State's HC. Aren't game results the ultimate determination on the successes of a coach?
I have been on the PSU Message Boards since 2000 and I don't recall a year when there were so many individual pissing matches, as with this year. I hope this is just a blip on the radar and not an indication of what our Message Boards are going to look like going forward.
It’s kind of like when you park under the wrong tree and the birds s*** all over your car. If you don’t put the dodos on ignore then you have to put up with them s****ing on every thread.
I go away for a couple of days and Mr. Ego craps all over the thread again. Has to respond one by one to poster after poster, dispensing his “wisdom” and “insights.” What a condescending a-hole.
We have several very highly rated transfers and the number 1 TE.
The one that cracks me up on the message boards over the years is that if you don’t absolutely kiss Penn State’s *** on everything, people call you a traitor, a troll, dumb, or negative. I remember criticizing Franklin numerous times over the last few years and you would’ve thought I’d killed someone. I’ll say Campbell is a good game-day coach who can win a natty this year, but if I criticize his recruiting — missing out on every PA kid and top targets — then I’m a piece of **** troll who’s negative all the time 
If we can add Currie and Paiva in the coming days, this class will really be in fantastic shape. I'm not discounting the connection between National Champions and the average star ranking for recruiting classes but I really think that this 2027 Class is going to either perform better than its ranking or we'll see the players increase their rankings after the camp and fall seasons.
Hopefully we can adequately defend this class against future poachers because they're going to come.

I agree with your overall assessment. Assuming we keep the class together to date, I think Dean and Odoh are going to be high 4 stars by the end of the cycle. Odoh would be now if he did not get nicked up in his junior year. I’m super positive about every aspect of the class except for OL. I think it is a group that has a very high ceiling, but not as many college ready bodies as I would hope for. And it looks like we are going to lose Carter Jones to Clemson, which is very unfortunate.
I submit to you that it is the BWICAC who would sour on JC after he coached a game or two and demand he be replaced by his father. Matt Campbell is only popular with the peanut gallery because he has not yet actually coached here.

Spoken like a true loser. Get 3 stars get 3 star results in the end. But but Cignetti did it
I think there is a difference between people with annoying takes and those you routinely hurl insults art anyone who questions they're takes.
Where did you get you personality... in a car crash?Spoken like a true loser. Get 3 stars get 3 star results in the end. But but Cignetti did it
It's ok to criticize Campbell's recruiting. But at least acknowledge that he and his staff may have a plan and that the kids he's recruiting have a role in that plan. In other words, he may know what he's doing. Afterall, he's been in this game for quite awhile. I won't criticize his recruiting until I dont see it transitioning into wins on games day.The one that cracks me up on the message boards over the years is that if you don’t absolutely kiss Penn State’s *** on everything, people call you a traitor, a troll, dumb, or negative.

The NFL may not be excited about Paiva. But I'll bet the Vanderbilt fans enjoyed his games, just as Nittany Lion fans enjoyed Trace McSorley's games.
