2018 Recruiting Thread
- Thread starter MilesBarkley
- Start date
Snead looks extremely quick and disruptive on film. Wonder what the holdup is with the offers... maybe health concerns?
If you knew what "Academic All B1G" actually meant - you'd understand (I think) why NW doesn't dominate those listings
Not to take anything away from the names ON the list - - - better to be on the llist, than to not be on the list AOTBTS
He broke his foot in the fourth game of the season. Maybe teams want to see the break has healed properly and wont be an issue in the future. Also read he had three high school coaches in three years, and the first two didnt help him with college recruiting. Was invited to Alabama's Junior Day this month and OSU's Schiano has been calling him daily for the past six months.

Payton Wilson, noted above as a 4-star OLB prospect from NC, recently won the NC wrestling championship at 220#. North Carolina is certainly not a wrestling state like PA, but that's a nice credential for someone who needs to fight off blockers and make tackles.

Aliquippa (Pa.) four-star safety Kwantel Raines will be in the house on Saturday for the Nittany Lions' Junior Day.

Dude. That is big. Six months ago I didn't think we had a shot at him.
From a CampusInsiders interview with Justin Fields after his Florida offer. .
That being said, Fields remains solid to the Nittany Lions and is planning on a future that leads through Happy Valley. So, a potential flip to Florida or anywhere else does not appear likely at this time.
Fields isn’t worried about schools trying to sway him away from Penn State. He simply wants a great education, a first-class college experience and a chance to compete for national championships as a starting quarterback.

Ok, recruiting guru's, who are our Top choices for DT or "D" line?
Realistically?? Top 3 - 4 let's say on the PSU desire board.
Thanks!!

Nick Tarburton's coach said this week he see's Nick being 6"7 288 by his upperclassman years at PSU, so as discussed here before, he should end up on the line. Also described him as a " once in 15 years type player" that he coached.
I'm not sure I understand why the Enis kid isn't offered yet, given his status as a legacy and his growing reputation. Has he camped with us?
Not sure but he wants an offer. "The tradition they have there and to follow my dad and all of his history and glory sounds good," Enis said of Penn State.
Looks like Barkley is in fairly decent shape....
When was this picture taken?Looks like Barkley is in fairly decent shape....
I don't know but Saquon looks like a classic example of the Planck constant with a less angular h-bar than usual. Just my observation.
He must work out.Looks like Barkley is in fairly decent shape....
Last day or so, I believe. They were doing the testing yesterday.

Tyler Friday will be here this weekend, 4 star from NJ. Offered him last February, this is his first time visiting.

When I see people stacked like that, I always think of how hard they worked to get to that point. We're six months out from opening day.
His body fat looks to be somewhere around 2%.
I will make a wild guess and say that whatever his angular momentum is, it's always conserved.

He really needs to start a cutting phase
no freaking way. he is prolly more like 8-10. No way professional trainers would allow him to be at 2%.
He was at 6% when he arrived at PSU. Numerous articles say he has lost body fat, and gained muscle. He might be at 4-5% body fat.
He looks like a damn anatomy chart. My God. What is even more scary thought is I bet his legs look even more freaky than his upper body. I wouldn't even put a shirt on to go to the grocery if I looked like that.
Getting off track here, but two other players I'm excited to see what winter workouts did for are Cam Brown and Miles Sanders. I think we'll see real progress from both on the field next year from those two; and it's not like they were bad last year.
To answer your question:
4* Tyler Friday from NJ is the #2 ranked DT and seems to be a Michigan lean right now, but it is early and he will be making his first trip to PSU this weekend since getting an offer last year. It would be huge to make a strong impression
4* Matthew Jones from NY is the #3 ranked DT but PSU seems to be recruiting him for OT. OSU was in the lead
4* Austin Fontaine from MD is the #4 ranked DT and the battle will be with UMD and OSU. He came to the Lasch Bash this summer
4* PJ Mustipher from MD is the #5 ranked DT but his brother plays for ND. The staff has been on him for nearly 3 years already, but I really see no way he doesn't follow his brother. Hope I'm wrong.
3* Aeneas Hawkins from OH has a 4* or 5* offer sheet. His top teams have for the last year been FSU and PSU. OSU has recently entered the fray and his dad is a Cinci alum so they're in there too. Also holds offers from Bama, Clemson, UF, UGA, and many others including Duke bc he is also a smart kid. He will visit in March and decide May 10th.
4* Thomas Booker from MD is listed as an ATH bc he is currently a tweener between end and DT, but I see him as a future college 3 tech DT and eventual pro 5 tech (if he makes it) with his huge frame (6-4 250 already). He just recently got an offer and I am a huge fan of this kid. Goes to Gilman (Ellison Jordan and Brian Gaia's former school).
There are other offers but this is who there is a chance for right now.
Thank you sir!
Sadly, I do NOT see a kid listed or talked about that IS a Penn State lean.
This is a cause for concern IMO.
