2021 Recruiting Class Thread

[PearlSUJam]

The staff turnover is playing a major role in the slow start, whether or not people are willing to admit it. When you lose close to 50% of your staff, including some of your best recruiters, there's going to be some challenges on the recruiting trail. We're playing from behind on a lot of these prospects. Especially on the offensive side of the ball.

I was never fan of Limegrover and think we upgraded, but he was the one with a years long relationship with Milum, Rucci, Tengwall, etc. You don't just pick up where you left off when you replace the guy.

Parker is the one who had the relationships with the WRs in the DMV, and all of those guys now seem trending elsewhere. The recent flurry of WR offers in FL recently is not a coincidence.

I'd imagine we'll see similar effects along the DL. A lot of these regional kids have been talking to Spencer for the past 3 years and now we're sliding in a guy that spent most of his time developing relationships in the south.

He didn’t say that, merely giving a possible reason why things are a little slow on the recruiting front.

ACtually he did say that.

Maybe we are starting slow because the staff wants to start slow. Didn't many of you complain the last few years when we struggled to keep early commits?

 

[cjrugger]

Slow start?

Alabama 1
LSU 4
Georgia 3
Oklahoma 3
USC 3
Texas A&M 3
Auburn 3
Michigan 2

Good point. Do they prefer we start strong or FINISH strong?

You're taking my comment completely out of context. It's called reading comprehension.

Limegrover was pushed out for a better coach in Traut. It was the right move and PSU upgraded our OL coach. Even though he was pushed out, Limegrover still had a better relationship with our regional OL prospects. Traut doesn't have the benefit of that foundation and is being forced to work from behind.

It is what it is. Franklin will pull top 15 classes regardless.

Wiltfong CBed Evan Pryor to Ohio State today.

Interesting because over the past week Pryor had a flood of CBs to UNC.

Clemson insider with a CB for Rucci and Leigh to Clemson.

Imagine that.... lol

Jordan Hancock (DB from Georgia) committed to Clemson, he got an offer from PSU early in his recruitment. Looked like a Ohio State locked then changed to Clemson.

There it is...only 249 offers to go. I think PSU should try to re-recruit Anthony Alfano...... that'll do it.

I hope we don’t cancel the blue-white game.

Bet on it being canx.

Congrats on being the last one to hear about this.

Nice try. Another poor assumption.

But it should be posted here for anyone that does not live on this board as you do and that might come to this thread and be under the belief that there will be regular recruiting news this Spring.

The NCAA has instituted a temporary recruiting dead period that is set to last through April 15, at the earliest.

Ha-ha!

This "close as a lock to PSU as there is" is not a lock at all.

I told you all so!!

Time will tell.

It looks like Loy put in a Crystal ball for PSU but you have pay to see. I could be wrong though.

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

You would be correct, Loy has crystal ball for the Good Guys. 8 picks, 7 are PSU and 1 is ND.

 

[psuno1]

Tengwall and Rucci would nice bookends, looks like CB's have Leigh going to Clemson.

And there are rumors that Ohio State is going to get a run on commitments over the next week or two. Heck, Ohio State may have a full class before Penn State has committed recruit #3.

Penn State a long shot for Williams it seems; Oklahoma in good shape followed by LSU, Clemson, and maybe Maryland. | I saved you a click.

Maybe if Williams chooses Oklahoma we can get Spencer Rattler to transfer.

How does the booger eater continue to recruit so well? There’s nothing appealing about him. Is it a monetary issue?
