Not providing a specific answer to your question but just pointing out that this question is being asked because of what some Michigan blogger posted. Who knows if this is genuine?

Like the graduating early part. He could commit last minute and avoid the local pushback that way. There are some serious crazies around that program.
Will he be attending the O$U/PSU game? He doesn't seem to get caught up in all the limelight so perhaps it wouldn't have a big impact on him either way.
I think he's told everyone that he is done taking visits. I think he knows where he is going.
Agree, I think it comes down to Michigan or PSU. I think it's just this kid wanting to get away from home. It happens. Don't think it's anything OSU has done - he just feel he needs to get away and be on his own from what I'm hearing.
In spite of Urban's missteps, it will still be considered a major upset if Harrison ends up anywhere but in Columbus.
If there’s a tree on his property or a convertible couch in the living room then UM’s chances are enhanced.
I use to think that but not so sure now. His cancelled announcement a couple of months ago has me thinking he wants to leave and is waiting until the last minute so he can "get the he!! out of Dodge" quickly without the expected flak from the local retards. But, who knows? This one's hard to figure out as he just doesn't divulge much.
What does make sense is if he was commiting to OSU, unless he is still really conflicted, he would’ve by now.
This is exactly what I think. The Meyer scandal might even be providing a bit of cover for the wait, but that probably isn't that big of a factor. OSU's culture didn't change from June to September. It was simply confirmed. And if by some chance that is what Zach wants, then he's not a good fit for PSU anyway. I wish him well in whatever path he chooses. The differences should be clear.

Must have built the young man a big tree house. Nice get for the Wolverettes.
I live in Central Ohio and can understand if that's truly a front on her end. For those of you that have never experienced it, take my word for it that you'll never be around a larger group of a-hole rednecks in your life.
I wonder if Marcus helped sway Porters kid our way?
So I'm thinking there are 6-8 spots left in this class. Penn State seems to be in good position with more than just 6-8 kids. Here's my dream scenario for who we get, and then perhaps a more realistic assessment.
Dream scenario:
Harrison
Darnell Wright
Cine
Isaac
Bell
Cain
Strange
Harrison-Hunte
More likely:
Isaac
Strange
Harrison-Hunte
One of Bell/Curry/C.Johnson
Jakai Moore
Aaron Young
Great 2019 class either way!

OSU kids and PSU kids are mostly different. Always know PSU standards don't fit well with all. That is not to say kids who go to OSU or other schools have no standards etc. But we should all know by now that PSU and OSU have always been and always will be polar opposites in that regard. It's why I never flip out when we lose a kid to them. Prime examples are Pryor and Noah Spence. Things seem to work out in the end even if it means an extra loss or two during said kids tenure but keeping our integrity.
Please. We would have thrown Parsons in with Pryor and Spence if he committed there. There are great kids that commit to both schools. Anecdotal evidence isn’t 100%.
Agreed, but I would say it is clear one of the two schools does a better job developing those kids into young men....
Cmon man. PSU, OSU, and Michigan all recruit the same 4 and 5 star kids. These boards are great for entertainment until this kind of stuff starts. All of the BIG schools offer great opportunities in and after school for all kids....ALL.

I would agree with your premise for the average student, but things are different for a member of a revenue-generating sport. They are almost their own little colleges within the universities as a whole. They mostly meet and socialize with the same ~100 other students, and they see a group of just a handful of people who supervise them (coaches, trainers, tutors) everyday. Certain programs emphasize academics and degrees, and others do not. Certain programs might be led by a head coach who truly wants Success with Honor, and others are not. I really think that the student--athletes who played under Paterno in his heyday were better prepared for life after football than those who played under Jimmy Johnson or Barry Switzer.

Parsons seems to be thriving in the Family Culture PSU provides rather than the Win-at-all-Costs culture at OSU.
Just a heads up; I wouldn't put a ton into Zach Harrison's mother wanting him to stay close to home. Anyone ever seen/read a direct quote from her stating this? Yeah....Just saying.....

Also, I think the ship has just about sailed on Cain. And I'm kind of ok with that, we're in on some huge RB prospects in the 2020 class
Nah He throws too many 50/50 balls with that pop-gun arm.
He’d have to give up his lucrative side job selling used cars.
lol, there is a couple of years of history hidden within this sequence of posts...
Two things -
First, the guy on the field filming mad me laugh. Sorry, but he makes me feel healthy!
Second, CJF would be booed at my high school for not stopping everything for the high school band playing!
However, I really think that was pretty cool on CJF's part.

Really, really want David Bell.

Ahead of David Bell’s official visit to Penn State next weekend, the Nittany Lions still trail Purdue on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. The last three picks, however, are in favor of the good guys. Those include picks from 247Sports National Analysts Steve Wiltfong and Allen Trieu.

Bell and Curry both plan to be at the white out next week, correct?
TOO much talent at WR?
Between current underclassmen and recruiting pipeline, are there good prospects at this position who will struggle for playing time?
Or is this just the way it is for elite recruiting like Bama, Georgia, Ohio State, and now PSU?
All I know is the visitor list for next weekend is GD crazy. The White Out game is the signature recruiting event on the east coast and it's not even close.
