Penn State 2016 Recruiting Thread

[linebackeru]

Slowly but surely, the brain trust at PSU are putting together the foundation of a return to the winning tradition of old before the abyss showed up. This is a good sign for a lot of folks.

I'd say they are doing it at light speed. Franklin has loaded the cupboard in 2 years. If we have anywhere close to the results most expect on field this year, look out. 9-10 win season will make next year's class even more fun to watch fill up.

So we got like 5 more schollys left? I would like to see some secondary help.

We loaded up there last year, I can see 1 more safety and a CB if Hamlin wants in. I think we see Pryts as an LB.

Another top PA kid Andrew Pryts 4*safety is in. Class is really filling up, probably no more than 5 Schollys left. Would still like to see Nixon, Fuller, and Hamlin. Seems like we're in a good spot with Nixon. Hamlin and Fuller a bit more cloudy I'd say. There are probably some contingencies that will emerge if some of our targets go elsewhere.

We are in very similar position for both Nixon and Fuller, Hamiln I think is more likely if we come out on fire this year and have a ton of buzz. I REALLY want Hansford in this class as well. I think Pryts commit closes door on Hudson for sure. NObody seems to have a real feel for what the hell Ferns is going to do either

If you want to be entertained and see what awaits WR crossing the middle of our D with Pryts out there, watch his highlights...WOW, this kid hits like a truck and has very good ball skills

Forgot about Hansford, he would be a great addition as well

 

[Retroram52]

Holy Cow LBU. He indeed does bring the wood like a freight train and his tackling technique is going to keep him injury-free. Excellent signee.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Pryts reminds me a little of Sean Taylor. You can see the hard hitting, leading to receivers not finishing their routes and dropping the ball to avoid a vicious hit. Get him some more weight which should be no problem and we have one nasty secondary and d-line for the next 4 years.

Any recruits at this past game against Rutgers? Any news of recruits committing any time soon, I'm getting bored.

Hudson only guy from 16 with legit chance of landing in class, a ton of commits were there, including Lavert Hill.

A TON of 17 and 18 kids, most very high profile and all were raving about it. I could see a 17 kid or 2 popping soon. 16 we'll be waiting out a few players down the stretch...guys like Hansford, Ferns, Nixon, Hamlin, I'm sure we'll get involved with others along the way. Most action will end up being 17-18 though in near future unless something unexpected happens

Looks like all of Maryland's recruits are back in play, Edsall getting canned after OSU game according to reports. Wouldn't mind making run at the LB Jones, this should seal Haskins to SEC

I for one LOVE!! this. That said do you really think Haskins decommits? From tweets seems really sold.

He's been looking around since the Opening. I think he ends up at UF or Bama, always have

 

[Ritzarmy]

Should we be worried that Quinn Nordin & Lavert Hill were at the Michigan game and UM has been playing lights out?

Probably, but if we lose Hill I think it enhances our chances with HAmlin and if we lose NOrdin, I think we pass on kicker and give Hudson the green light to commit

So I know they are infamous for trolling in the WPIAL but seems like we are gaining a lot of steam on Hamlin. At this point would it be better to have Hamlin due to friends in WPIAL or broaden our reach to Michigan? Either is a great situation but curious of others opinions

If we keep both our CB prospects, both of whom I really like and hope we keep, Hamlin doesn't like the depth issues. If we lose Hill, I could see him coming here. If not, I think he goes to Pitt and watches his coach leave within 2 years while he plays on ESPN3 in front of empty stadium

 

[linebackeru]

Christian Colon no longer part of class, PSU parted ways. Sounds like some discipline issues with him and they had a "mutual" parting of ways. Hopefully this seals a ship for Hudson, would be happy with the 3 DT we have now and maybe a JUCO like Chavis unless someone unexpected pops onto radar.

Saw that Betiku decommitted. Any information on his joining us? I know it may be a pipe dream.
