Agree and disagree. If those guys are open, they are going to get the ball thrown to them. If not, I agree with you.
He is, from what I've read, an excellent blocker.
Who are these guys we already have with “talent/upside”?
He's better than anyone else currently on the roster, so who else would be our #1?
It’s amazing how many talented WRs have gone through OSU recently and ridiculous how many were 1st round picks. Not sure how anyone wouldn’t want to add Fleming who was productive on a CFP team loaded with 1st round picks. I agree with the fact that he’s been productive the last two years competing with two first round picks for targets, one of which is the best WR in the country the last two years, and is known as a very good blocker. Who cares that he picked OSU a few years ago and based on their history you can’t blame him. I do think it’s odd he entered the portal going into to next season as the #1 for OSU. I’m wondering if him “going home” is a big part of it playing in front of his home state and remember PSU has OSU at so that’s going to be an epic whiteout. I’m sure he still gets people back home telling him he should’ve gone to PSU and telling him this is his last chance for a storybook ending.
Pretty impressive. What could PSU throw out there against that armada? Hamler, Dotson, Washington, Tinsley, KLS…
he's a big body WR and not a "take the top off" burner. I think he would be #2 to KLS. Still, an upgrade. I haven't given up on the portal guys from last year. I think our passing game was a dumpster fire and that is why we have a new OC. So we'll see.
I don't think he'd be a deep threat, but if he can stay healthy he would improve the WR room and probably be more productive than he was @ OSU. Take him any day over Greene from UNC.
Wallace looked good early but got injured.
UM is in the playoffs and the whole nation knows they cheated! Not sure what legal even means these days.
I want the kid from Indiana too, 6-3 can run, a former QB who did a job on us this year. But, something tells me he is UM bound, fingers crossed.
In this instance, it was the way it played out. Personally, if I was Franklin, I would say beat it, but I'm not Franklin. Gotta wonder about dynamic in locker room, too, bringing in a guy who was too good for PSU and after playing against PSU for past 4 years now comes in to take someone's job. I dont like it.
The quickest way to overcome a team not liking you is to join that team and help them win. Past disagreements get forgotten quickly.
This is probably a naive comment but I think the biggest reason why coaches and assistants are paid so much is because they can recruit. They've developed contacts with the best high schools/coaches and they can boast about coaching kids that went on to the NFL.
Rumor started by Nebraska boards only. Probably comes as news to Julian who is in State College right now.
Well at least that’s a posted rumor, true or not. But now we’ve hit 75 post's on a rumor begun by a lunatic with an imaginary insider friend. 🤪😜😝 He’d be more accurate with his predictions if he claimed the Titanic sunk the iceberg.
That would help them, but I believe OSU insiders indicated McCord didn't want to go to a school that had OSU on their schedule. Nebraska plays OSU in 2024.
Actually, Hammler was going to MSU. He stated that he changed his mind with all the problems there and committed to PSU. I believe the most damage done to our WR recruiting were the transfers of our two highest rated WR's in years; Shorter and Johnson.
If that is true with Denmark, and we get a "quality WR" in the portal, we will be set for next year. The kid from Indiana or Fleming would do nicely. If Fleming is at PSU today, as reported, I think he is ours. He visited enough 4 years ago, so we must be high on his mind now.
