Why is there one old boomer guy with multiple handles filling this board with nonsense? No wonder so few people come on these message boards these days.

Some 'person' on this board has absolutely nothing going on their life other than post here all day and all night. My Dad would tell my brothers and I, "Go outside and get the stink blown off you." I suggest that this 'person' leave his mom's basement and do the same.

Can’t you stay positive for one post?Great news and what is sorely needed. Nail down a blue chip QB and then hope he helps attract big play 4 and 5 stars to fill in the cracks. However, I assume many here are disappointed, because they have clearly stated that PSU will not invest in players that aren't going to impact the field. Unless CMC is throwing this kid on the field as a freshman (and assuming his ratings trend up) it will cost a million or more to have him on the bench.
I hope this is the result of newfound NIL resources because it flies in the face of letting a significantly higher rated QB (Bourque) go elsewhere. while settling for a 3 star.
We gave 2 commits for 28. Both ranked in top 5 in PA!
He already has a lot of offers from P4 schools.
Can't you read? "Great news and what is sorely needed." I'll leave the pom pom shaking to you and others.
OSU had a 5 star 27 and a 5 star 28 the same day. I am "positive " PSU needs to add top 100 talent to contend.
She got married to Kelse yesterday.
Adam Sandler officiated.
He has also supposedly said he wants to stay in PA.
Sorry but I can't imagine PS losing him to sPitt or Temple.
With some guy's money helps but it's not the end all be all. In the end PS really wants this kid and they will do the right thing by him.
Also, remember that recruiting ain’t done until they sign on the dotted line. That goes for our current commits and all the rest. If you thought the coach firings were up this past year wait until next season—all those NIL deals will get tossed in the air as the season goes on.
Yes I began my devious plot to destroy PSU football at spring practice of 1971. Observing and plotting as Joepa personally demonstrated some base offense using Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris as his RBs. I worked tirelessly until 2010 sneaking into the pep rally a day before the 1/1/11 Outback Bowl at the community center to observe what would turn out to be Paterno's last bowl game rally! Even detailed Suepa ushering her grandchildren into the hall.
But I didn't rest, I spied on the Lions on 3/31/11 spring practice after reading Sara Ganim's article downtown. I engaged Kermit Buggs in a conversation at Holuba later that day, hoping to inject him with venom that would bring the collapse of the hated Lions. I can only be proud that my true colors were never discovered all these years until a real PSU fan exposed me.
My question was directed towards to members of the board. I understand where most experts stand at this moment. Also, not every expert has changed their RPM to Nebraska because Fitz still has PSU. 5 of 6 have Nebraska though.
This kid changes his mind a lot. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's PSU tomorrow or in the end.

This is a pretty good video. They breakdown Armstrong, but also talk about the loaded 28 class in PA and surrounding traditional PSU recruiting areas. PA is loaded, specifically western PA.

Nebraska is currently in the lead but regardless who gets a “commitment” tomorrow the word on the street is this is an open recruitment $ until signing day.
Got to believe if he chooses Nebraska it's money. Unless PSU changes it's approach with $$ if he flips, it will likely be a Texas Tech, Southern Cal, Auburn move (they seem to throw around money).
PSU loosing a recruiting battle to Nebraska hasn't happened in my memory.
Many years ago Nebraska landed Mike Rozier from Camden, NJ. Penn State recruited him but was late in the game.
Interesting tidbit in the video. Franklin began inviting Armstrong to PSU camps as an eighth grader. The camps are usually reserved for rising juniors and seniors but Franklin and staff identified him as a talent well before that, then offered very early also. So, Armstrong’s
PSU recruitment has spanned two coaching staffs and several years.
I thought it was more about Rozier's inability to gain admission to PSU. Didn't he go JUCO or something out of high school?
You are correct. Good memory on your part. Nebraska was always more willing to take kids with grade and behavior issues.

Coffeyville, KS. But he was only there for a year, so the grade concern was dubious. He was a wishbone halfback at Wilson.
No matter the.school that Taylor "commits " to tomorrow, I have a better chance of being named Jack Ham s replacement for PSU football radio color commentary than KT does of signing with said school in December/February.
He couldn't get in and at that time (70's) two schools in the Big 8 were famous for taking non qualifiers, OK and NE.
During that time OK got caught for doctoring HS grades and classes taken in TX through a couple academic advisors who were OU grads. They were put on probation for it, and I think it might have been two years with a bowl ban the first year, but memory probably fails me now on the timing and years.
How is it dubious? If he had no issues, wouldn’t he have just started out at Nebraska? And it wasn’t like Osborne was a stickler for fine, upstanding gentlemen. If Rozier had, even borderline questionable grades out of Wilson, Osborne would have welcomed him with open arms, no?
For this staff IMO the 28 class was always the big target for HS kids. Gives them time to develop relationships with HS's and players as they can and will show on field success this year. It doesn't hurt that the 28 class is loaded.
I don’t think any differently if he picks Nebraska. They just had the top QB recruit in the country on the roster for the last few years and couldn’t establish a reputable offense to win games. How is it going to be any different going forward?
Jackson wasn't offered. Stewart's offer wasn't likely commitable. PSU wouldn't have considered either a big miss.
Rhule cannot get anything started at Nebraska, especially in offense. Hell, in our worst season in the last 20 years, we beat the hell out of them . Taylor can have him if he wants money. Won’t get him to the NFL though. It’s scary to think that if Nebraska beat Minnesota last season Rhule would likely be our coach. He and Kraft are great friends and after that Minnesota loss, the uproar was so loud among PSU fans that Kraft had to back off him as a candidate. Rhule is 2-25 alltime vs ranked teams, far worse than BGJ.
Rhule was always his plan and when it went awry the search became a disaster for a while even Campbell's rep had to call and say hey what's wrong with my guy, and then it became a whirlwind wedding, imo bailing out our AD. Alls well that ends well.
