Portal.
- Thread starter jerrycalpal
- Start date
Newsflash:
Lovett and Tangelo were also some of the top players available in last season's Portal entrants.
There are likely few if any players of Lovett's or Tangelo's ability left in the portal at this time.
When players of Lovett's or Tangelo's ability do enter the portal, they have multiple opportunities for visits to potential destinations and usually have scholarship offers in short order. And then usually accept an offer quickly.
For background information, Lovett had run for 1800 yards at Baylor before coming to PSU and would likely have had a big year for a lessor program where the competition to get on the field would not have been as great. And where the schedule (i.e. defenses) would not have been as talented.
Tangelo was all-ACC and was a very big contributor to PSU's defense, and likely will have an NFL career. Saying he had "some value" at PSU is ridicules. He would have dominated in the ACC against weaker teams, and for a team where he could have just stepped onto campus and got a starting position.
Both Lovett and Tangelo must have valued the challenge to play at PSU and try and compete within a roster loaded with 4 star players at their positions, as both could have gone to lesser programs and stepped right into starting positions.
Yep, AK had great value. Fortunately DT was not as weak as DE was before both AK and Tangelo showed up, or more fans would realize that Tangelo was just as important to PSU's defense as AK, but this was pretty apparent when Mustipher was lost due to injury........

Yeah, why would you want kid a like Jordan Stout on your team?
There had been plenty of Northwestern players to enter their name in the transfer portal following the disastrous 3-9 campaign of 2019. However, most of the headline players stayed put, and while the general mood around the team wasn’t great, it was far from a “the sky is falling” type of atmosphere.
Well folks, the sky not only fell today, it came crashing through the upper atmosphere at super sonic speed.
As first reported by Matt Zenitz of On3Sports, superstar safety Brandon Joseph likely won’t be in Evanston come fall of 2022, as he too has put his name in the portal. Considered the breakout superstar of the 2020 dream team due to his six interception performance, this is devastating news regarding the Wildcats’ prospects moving forward. Joseph wasn’t quite the dynamo as a sophomore that he was on a more talented team back when he was a freshman, but he still was one of the team’s best players and led Northwestern in interceptions for a second consecutive season.
Voted as the preseason Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in Cleveland.com’s annual Big Ten preseason poll, Joseph might not be in the Big Ten altogether just several months later, as Northwestern’s 2021 season now concludes on perhaps the most catastrophic note of all.

Stout was a walk on at VT who came to PSU for a scholly wasn’t he?
Yes. But please stop. Some of the people here have a difficult time with facts.
Lots of articles out there today on him. He is a big-time player. Joseph is a native of Texas, it will be interesting to see if one of the big players down there lands him.
That is one kid Penn State should look at. An experience ball hawk and hitter.
