You are being a wet blanket. PSU needs to up the ante and not by much. OSU has a 20 million bag and PSU 12 million. A mere 8 houses valued like mine difference. PSU has the most grad corp CEOs of any university and corps are cash flush except some retail chains. There is no more excuse that it is illegal or against any rules. We ante up to top tier or we shoot for a lower tier with excuses.
Then donate your house, rich guy.
I hate to beat a dead horse but most older, and wealthier, people graduated from PSU with Joe Paterno being one of their heroes. When the BOT threw Joe under the bus, the lack of support was inevitable. I haven't checked recently but the last I did all donations to the university, not NIL, were down substantially.
Maybe. Kids pick schools for a lot of different reasons. And today, Xfer out for a lot of different reasons. I think of a kid like Zollers who picked Mizzou or pick ups like AJ Harris and Rucci.
Why has that not happened yet? It's not like he is an underrated under the radar guy. He is top 40 in the country. I think we gave him a good offer otherwise we would not be close to landing him. We could still lose him after he verbals (if he does verbal to us) but I would think a Bama or Georgia has put forth their offers already or feel they don't need him given their RB room.
Will be interesting, the kid from Aliquippa is no slouch. Will be interesting to see how this kid’s commitment, if it happens, affects the other two commitments.

So does this mean it will be "Alvin and the Chipmunks?"
It's been said and observed that Martin is practicing solely at RB. The WR thing was somebody's pipe dream......
Gotta love all of his story on the background of his commitment. And going forward his intent to help fill out the rest of the PSU 2025 class.

If someone wanted to wine and dine me all over the country I damn sure would go!
This will be interesting. Not so sure it’s a done deal at this point. Hope all three backs stick.
Right why not go? Commitments just hold spots anyway. Doesn't mean anything until LOI day and even then...
Are you coughing up your $million house? do you have another one to cough up next year and the year after that?
Will continue to watch games but recruiting is "unwatchable", Who goes, who sticks, who cares, play the games. You know Joe could not coach under these conditions.
As much as I want to say "yippee ki yay", as I would have in the old days (four years ago), I have so little confidence in commitments or what it means anymore, vis a vis college revenue sports, that I've come to share your bleak assessment. Hopefully, he'll stay as will the others, but I no longer worry one way or the other. Zollers? There is no way, pre-NIL, that he would have gone to MO.
Wow! This guy is the real deal. I haven't seen an offer sheet for a PSU recruit like this in a long time. Offers from Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Florida State, Oregon, Texas, and Tennessee among many others. Of course, since he walks and breathes, he got a throw-away offer from the pitters too. I wonder if this commitment will make Quinton Martin start cogitating.
Happy Valley Insider - BREAKING: Elite 2025 Running Back Alvin Henderson Commits to Penn State
JaJuan Seider has worked his magic once again by landing a commitment from elite 2025 running back Alvin Henderson.
A Joe of the modern generation could. Think about how innovative Joe was in his 40's and 50's. At the top of the game. Now picture that Joe at aged 45 or 50 today. Of course the real Joe born in 1926 could not cope with it.
What are you expecting? A RB like Wallace or for that matter Henderson looks to be a better option returning KO's. Martin was very good as a receiver, but from what I saw that was as much because he has great hands as it was that BV had another very good RB and putting another dynamic player on the field in 3A football made the team that much harder to defend.
I was a big Paterno guy and still am. He advocated paying the players long before anyone else. Joe did not support indentured servitude to a system that financed huge stadiums, bloated staff, and a host of sprawling TV networks just to name a few. He saw the hypocrisy of the direction this was going.
