Penn State 2015 Recruiting thread

[linebackeru]

Looks like all those 5 star and high 4 star kids offered yesterday plan to visit. Each was quoted saying they have a strong interest and will make the visit, Tim Settle is one I'd love to land as well and he'll be on campus soon.

Trent Irwin's Teammate, and #3 overall pocket passer, Brady White from California has received an offer and is very interested. Plans to visit with his teammate

These guys are on FIRE, better strike while the iron is hot.

Sounds like everyone that attended had a good time. I think this class has the potential to be very good. Though my one question would be, are we in for any big time 5 stars? I know we're in for a bunch of big time kids that have the 4 stars but are we really in on any top 20ish overall players? I'm sure we'll end up with a good class, but IMO those big time 5 star kids are what makes the difference between a top 10 class and a top 5 class.

You guys mentioned 5 stars players and now this coaching staff is offering everyone with a 5 star rating.

5 Star Players offered by PSU
#1 DT Trent Thompson-GA
#1 DE CeCe Jefferson-FL
#2 DE Josh Sweet-VA
#3 QB Torrance Gibson-FL
#3 WR George Campbell-FL
#3 DT Tim Settle-VA
#3 DE Keisean Lucier-South-CA
#3 OLB Ricky DeBerry-VA
#5 Byron Cowart-FL

DOMINATE THE WORLD!!!

It will be hot for a long time with this staff.

I'd like to recount my earlier statement. This staff is definitely not afraid of going after the top end talent. Obviously landing that 5 star talent is a whole different story, but I think this staff has what it takes to go head to head with the SEC.

Also, now I think everyone can see why LBU wanted that ship from last year to be pocketed. This years class will most likely blow last years out of the water. Would have been nice to have room for one extra guy.

They are planning on taking minimum of 23-25, maybe a couple more if they can get a couple kids to gray shirt. Tanner Hartman has left team (was kicked off, let back on, then left of his own accord), so there's one. I'm guessing some other guys get the talk that its in their best interest to pursue other opportunities if they ever want to see the field. This year should be top 10ish, maybe higher if we land a few of these NAtional guys. #DominateTheRegion will get us top 10 though as our area is LOADED

4 Star RB Barkley commits to PSU

 

[Ritzarmy]

What position do you guys see Barkley playing at PSU RB or CB?

 

[Sportster 72]

Old adage in sales, you can't get anyone to buy if you don't ask them to. You never know who might be interested until you ask.

It never hurts to ask, Whats the worst they can say No.

 

[linebackeru]

What position do you guys see Barkley playing at PSU RB or CB?

He's been recruited strictly as an RB. Robinson shouldn't be far behind and we are looking at Adams as an athlete, he could end up in the slot or on defense, thus locking down the top 3 RB in PA and 3 of top 10 players in state

I love the mindset of the staff! You want to be the best, go out and get the best!

Have to have that mindset, he has the perfect blueprint:

1. keep best kids in state, especially in talent rich Pa
2. Dominate teh surrounding talent rich states of NJ, MD, VA and all points north
3, start chipping into Ohio to return the favor from the last decade
4. Offer EVERY bigtime 5 star or high 4 National kid who has any interest in you and hope you land 1-5 of them.

That is the recipe to awaken the sleeping giant, everyone knows it and everyone sees it happening bvefore their eyes now.
