2019 Recruiting Class Thread
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
He camped last year at the beginning of June. The fact he didn't get an offer then is not a good sign. He camped at OSU this June, they also did not offer.
It's too soon to worry. The quality of the commits so far is extremely high. Franklin & staff are going after the very top tier so naturally they're going to lose a few high profile people to Alabama, OhioSt, FSU etc.
If they get to December a little short of their numbers, they absolutely shouldn't reach for players just to fill out the roster. They'll have all kinds of options.
1) The new transfer rule is a huge deal and schools may actually want to save a couple of scholarships so they can take transfers. By next winter, PSU will be getting inquiries from dozens of players at 2nd tier schools.
Some of them are late bloomers who wanted to come to PSU but there wasn't a ship for them before, but they have since developed into great players and want to be on a bigger stage. Some are PA and NJ players who want to SEC schools and got homesick. Could be west coast players whose families since moved east.
Lots of reasons, but transfers are going to probably be a much bigger part of college football.
2) There will be some late bloomer 3 stars who, after fall football, are suddenly 4 stars, and if they get a PSU offer they'll flip.
3) Banking a couple of scholarships for 2020 is ok. The 2017 and 2018 classes, when put together with the existing 2019 commits, are well rounded and there is not a weakness. So it's possible the best thing will be to save a couple of extra ships to have a monster 2020 class, especially if there are more Pa. players.

When was the last time that PSU (or anyone at that level) "banked scholarships" for the next season?

Pretty different program in just two years. I doubt it happens.

That was my thought. These guys might not receive offers in the next few months but might be on hold until Dec/Jan. Franklin has done this in the past, we'll have to see how the top targets play out. Just because some prospects have committed elsewhere, there are still plenty top targets still left on the board.
Seriosuly, I LOL'd at thatWhen was the last time that PSU (or anyone at that level) "banked scholarships" for the next season?
Michigan just took a commitment from a low 3 star with his best offers coming from Indiana and Cincinnati.

Jesus you guys are soft. A week ago this thread was flying high with the greatest recruiting class PSU has ever seen. Truss verbals to UGA and a few crystal balls go against us and you start talking about banking schollies and going after 3 star backup plans? Come on down off the ledge
Very interesting take by Michigan. #50 ranked prospect in Ohio with a very unimpressive set of offers. Apparently, Michigan staff seeing something in him no one else sees.Michigan just took a commitment from a low 3 star with his best offers coming from Indiana and Cincinnati.

it still kills me that Hudson isn't on our roster.Michigan just took a commitment from a low 3 star with his best offers coming from Indiana and Cincinnati.
All thanks to Lavert Hill. Oh well, everything happens for a reason. His career and the PSU program have been nothing short of excellent things since he's arrived in Michigan.
Yes, the comment was for this weekend. Andrew Ellis just put in a Isaac PSU CB.
Looks like 2 more CBs today for Lewis Cine to PSU.
Now that's tweet that even I can understand.
You are wise beyond your years my friend.
If people seeking wisdom and knowledge, climbed a mountain, I feel certain that would encounter you at the very top!!
Anthony DaSilva, preferred walk-on kicker from Bethlehem Catholic.
Ok, Ok...don't hold it against me and this is in NO WAY against Anthony but the word "kicker" brought back memories:
