That would appear to be the case and I think in that order of importance.

If we can take care of business with at least 1 of the remaining 2 WR targets, we will have a class that has accomplished the goal of meeting all of its needs and anything we add to it will be like a cherry on top.

I like Penn State’s recruiting class so far. However, I do think there is one need that has yet to be addressed. It’s the speed WR to stretch the field and keep the defense honest. While Hall and Taylor would be very good additions, neither is considered a speed guy. Jamir Dean was supposed to fill the speed need. I suspect the portal may be another option to pick up a speedy WR.

Is this Campbell’s biggest recruiting win so far? The kid seems like a player and OU wanted him bad. Telfair with Michigan, OSU, other major offers? Guertin with his offer list? What’s left? WR, CB, DE/Edge?
Actually, Oklahoma has 2 commits that are higher rated LBs. Witten and Epps. According to 247 Witten is ##57 overall and Epps is #119 prospect in the nation.

It's easier to just hit the ignore button than trying to understand why some are constantly negative
You know, I used it for the second time ever. And it’s a shame because he knows football but he’s completely gummed up this recruiting thread with his morning post barrage and the responding posts (of which I am guilty for way too many). As I say that, me even posting this is gumming it up, but I’m looking forward to reading some actual recruiting news now.

I agree. Taylor/Hall may be 1A/1b. But they need to get at least one of them. They need someone to stretch the field. Good TE and RB commits in this class but they need a playmaker at WR. McGhee is going to be a tough pull out of TX.
I believe Taylor commits to the Nits. Hall and McGee no.

Why? Because your goal is to beat Ohio State. This is about you. You spent 12 years crying about big wins.
My hope for PSU is to win every game. However, I don't whine like Marshall and yourself at every post. You two claim to be fans of PSU and yet EVERY time (NOT SOMETIMES BUT EVERY TIME) someone posts something we should celebrate or at the least be happy about there you and him come to denigrate or point out why we should not be. Both of you are no more PSU fans than BGJ. That's why.

Not exactly the news we wanted to hear about Khalil Taylor's Nebraska visit - but yet to see any prediction switches. Taylor called it his best OV he took.

They're throwing a bag at him and it's going to be tough to turn down. I understand that he likes their highly rated QB in the same class, but Rhule ain't exactly known for his QB and WR development. I mean our Assistant Coach just demolished Rhule last season after our season had already gone down the tubes.

Feels like another we'll just have to wait for again in the transfer portal.

OV aside, I still think he's coming to PSU. Distance and stability highly favor PSU. NU doesn't have anything PSU doesn't have, so why go all the way out there?

They probably upped their offer since Matthew Gregory from Pottstown spurned them for UCLA. They were the favorites for Gregory for a long time.

I can see PSU prioritizing Taylor and making sure he's taken care of. We can't let all of this PA skill position talent leave the state, especially someone who really wants to come to PSU.

No chance I'm jumping ship this year. I'm 100% for the Cylions. PSU has 9 opponents "without a pulse" on it's schedule and a brilliant game day coach strolling the sidelines. I'm riding this year to Indy for the conference championship and the first "big win" vs Ohio State, Indiana or Oregon. Planning on at least one, perhaps two playoff games.
Now after this season, if the talent acquisition doesn't improve, I may consider my options.
What happened to you quitting the Board and crying in your Ovaltine? Something about the injustice of Franklin only getting a dozen years to get an entire sugnature win?
