That is just an insane visit list for a single game from a single year group. Half a dozen 2020 5 stars? That's 20% of all 5 stars in the nation on hand. The #1, 6, 9, 19, 21, and 23 overall 2020 recruits according 247. Just crazy.

Lloyd? Not sure, but saw that someone had speculated before the game about that possibility...

All his DeMatha teammates were there. I don't see him in the pictures. From the free ways of telling, it doesn't look like he was mentioned as being there on 247. Maybe someone needs to check the gigapixel, lol.

So I guess it was Braswell and the other St Francis guys who decided to wear black to the White Out and high five Haskins after the game...

We just need 1 or 2 leaders to step up, commit, and be the leaders of this class, and then start the "you know what to do..." tweets to the guys they have bonded with at the White Out and that are getting ready to decide!!!!

That was/is one of my biggest hopes from the Whiteout....there is so much talent out there in 2020. I'd love for a really good player to commit and get the ball rolling!

Anybody else up for some spurious speculating about what Makari Paige is doing in this photo?

Notre Dame couldn't compete with recruiting turnout or TV ratings.


http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2018/10/osu-penn-state-ratings-abc-college-football/

Last Saturday’s Ohio State-Penn State college football game scored a 5.3 rating and 9.14 million viewers on ABC, up 96% in ratings and 98% in viewership form last year (Clemson-VT: 2.7, 4.61M). The game peaked with 12.54 million viewers, ranks as the highest rated and most-watched game of the season. Head-to-head, Ohio State-Penn State cruised past the night’s other top ten matchup, Stanford-Notre Dame on NBC (2.1, 3.44M).

Eleven Warriors

St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) Derek Wingo, a 2020 four-star linebacker was in Happy Valley last weekend to watch the Buckeyes' 27-26 win. According to 247Sports, the visit moved the Nittany Lions way up on his list.

Wingo talked with 247Sports' Bill Greene about the impact Penn State coach James Franklin had on him and the whiteout environment he experienced:

"I now see him a lot higher than a lot of the coaches I've met, and that's because of his character," Wingo said of Franklin. "He's very competitive and loves to win, and that is what I'm about. Hearing his press conference after the game where he said they've gotten comfortable being great reminded me of my head coach so much."

"I know the game was a tough loss for Penn State, but the atmosphere was like nothing I've ever seen before. They have set the bar very high now for any other school, and my dad feels the same way. I don't really have a top school, but this could end up being the school I go to."

Rakim Jarrett

The No. 6 receiver in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite

The 6-foot, 182-pound Jarrett is one of the top playmakers in the 2020 class, and his recruitment shows how coveted he is by many of the elite schools.

His combination of speed, precision route running and quickness make him an exciting game breaker. His recruitment is open, but he admits there are a few schools he is talking to the most.

“Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State,” he said. “I’ve kind of focused on my season so (recruiting) is not overwhelming.”

Jarrett added he is trying to visit Penn State for this weekend’s game against Michigan State, but his plans are not yet definitive.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, and heere is what I hear concerning Julian Fleming. Wants to do basketball and track this year, football in the fall, and basketball until January. That would get him 1,000 points, which is something he wants. Then graduate and enroll at PSU for spring. Personally, hope his grades allow that,that’s what I was told by someone close to the Southern Colunbia program.

ya gotta think Fleming is helping recruit some other key members

Aaron is a big kid. 6’6” 235 lbs. Fair offer list so far - Baylor, WVU are a few. Jersey boy from Williamstown, a place that was all farms when I was a kid. So was Cherry Hill for the most part but back then Cherry Hill was Delaware Twp.

while this Floridian has verballed to Da U, in recent days he's receivers offers from FSU, tOSU, and PSU.
