Young is a RB recruit only and we’ll be lucky to get him in the class at that position.
Which ever one commits to PSU to be honest. Staff is high on Young FWIW, but he really doesn't seem to be interested in PSU.
With Sanders (Jr), Brown (rFr), Slade (tFR), Holmes (So) and Ford (HS) in the fold, I wouldn't mind if we held off for next year's crop. Keep in mind the new transfer rules go into effect in October. The staff can always tap into the new "free agent" database and add RB depth, if necessary.
Young is very good and worth the scholarship this year, IMO. I’d take Young and wait on Marshawn Lloyd, a back much like Cain (IIRC), next year. Lloyd is a PSU lean at this point.

thanks I misread his post and thought I missed Holmes being ruled eligible for some reason.
I believe Holmes needs to sit this year. Regardless, it's unlikely we'd need him with Thomas and Allen on the depth chart along with Sanders, Slade and Brown.
Chris Tyree is another 2020 top back (247 Composite #25 overall) that has PSU right at the top of his list. He was at the 2017 Whiteout and the Lasch Bash this summer. We definitely want him and/or Lloyd.
Nick Cross with a CB to PSU from an FSU guy
Hmmm, thought he was a lock to FSU.
Anybody have an opinion on Brown? He's Cain's height, but a little lighter. His film looked good, but I don't know if he's on Cain's level. Just curious what others thought. Seems like he's interested, although I don't know where he's at on our board, I was surprised to see we made his top 2!
I have a feeling maybe we're in on alot more elite talent than we thought, or at least I thought!
Do you experts out there think that there is an increase in chatter regarding Cross because Miner was forced to retire, Cine may be slipping away, or some other reason? No matter the reason, great to see PSU involved with top talents.
Not really. He’s a unanimous top 100 kid and top 5 safety.
Anyone think that we could pull off both Cross and Cine? That would be insane. I put that at 10% chance so possible but very unlikely. But it is looking at least better than not that we land one of those 2.
After watching how quickly. James and his staff has straighted things out. After being left for dead. Only a short time ago. I will never ever count Mr. Franklin out. PSU football might not be yet back to that 800 pound gorilla. But i would bet it’s at 600 pounds and still eating. The recruits that we never hear anything about. Then boom a sudden visit. And we went from longshot low interest. To high interest serious threat. This is just amazing to sit back and watch.

reminiscent of Khaleke Hudson as well...even though in that case Penn State was always "in the race"
Pretty close but Hudson was ready to commit IIRC and PSU backed off. PSU was a few months to late to offer Young and he seems to not want to let that go.
"800%" is a solid commitment
"100%" 2 months ago...not so much
Considering his math skills, about the only thing one could conclude is that 800% might translate into being more committed than 100%..............
It may be a reference to what secured the commitment. It is the SEC you know.Considering his math skills, about the only thing one could conclude is that 800% might translate into being more committed than 100%..............
