2018 Recruiting Thread

[The Song Remains the Same]

Justin King is the third-highest rated prospect in program history to sign with the Nittany Lions since the advent of recruiting rankings, according to 247Sports. He earned his undergraduate degree in Letters, Arts, and Sciences in just two and a half years, so King knows all about making the most of the student-athlete experience. He’ll be a great addition to Penn State’s recruiting efforts, especially in Western Pennsylvania.

"Arts and Letters"...where have I heard that before?

Looks like Tarburton in the picture with Mustipher - is that Oweh wearing the 22 jersey?

 

[ftlpsu]

IMHO not a fan of dressing up especially if your not committed...its a little gimmicky to me and a little in the moment manipulation.

It is Tarburton, the other recruit (No. 22) is Eyabi Anoma.

EDIT: Unclear if No. 22 is Anoma or Oweh. BSD saying Anoma, Landof10 saying Oweh.
However, both were at PSU today.

Do kids put on the uniform at West Point and then commit to Annapolis?

Very nice to get him on campus!

Thanks for the baton hand off here....my point exactly I wasn't allowed to wear a Beret nor Tab till I was done with Airborne school and RIP...but that's another story...dont get me wrong I like everything else the staff is doing for recruiting and atmosphere culture building-football still has a discipline and tradition to it IMHO.

It's Oweh in that photo above. 247 has a pic of Anoma at the baseball game and he has a beard.

A beard? Hmm. I think I prefer someone who isn't shaving yet, since that means they aren't done yet!

This is SOP at all big time programs; no issues for me unless it's a kid doing it who is committed elsewhere.

Good point. We saw that with Bryce Effner, the OL recruit. A young looking guy who's likely to get bigger and stronger. Could be another 3-star who turns out well; Coach Franklin seems to have a knack for that.

I was on the five year program because, eh, I forget why. Actually, I left school for a year for an intensive and broad social studies program in Ft. Lauderdale.

Screw ND.

Don't play for a coach that will throw you under the bus young man and

HE MAY NOT BE AROUND LONG!

Did I see 2 recent CB's for Cincy about Hawkins??

Phil said their coach has done a good job recruiting him and they are a player.

The men's bathroom wall, at a rest stop, on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Something about: "For a good time call!"

Not a 2018 recruit, but thought this thread was as good a place as any to put this. . .

Fields is working hard on him.

At his size, Kuntz wins are incredible.

 

[CappyToCJF]

Who cares what they do at West Point? By the way, we don't care what they do at the Pittsburgh Culinary Institute either....

[bmw199]

Wow the Mustipher CBs are very encouraging. Currently I think the best most likely DL class would be Mustipher, Smith, Hardy, and Oweh

I don't see a reference to Fields on that tweet showing he tweeted that so are you saying that he is recruiting him via social media on other posts? Honestly asking as I don't have a footprint on twitter.

 

[PSUcup1]

Didn't realize Mustipher was a state champion wrestler. Love that in a D lineman.
