Figured I would start this, think it may get some action soon

Have a feeling this might be the best PSU recruiting class in school history. Lots of relationships formed with high end talent in the surrounding areas, including #1 player in the class Bryan Bresee.

The turmoil at OSU won't hurt us either

Staff really liked this kid, I’ll bet he ends up a 4star when camp circuit and jr film get evaluated

You try and get all the highly regarded guys you can but sometimes a 2 or 3 star turns out to be a star.

Justin Fields was a 3 star when he committed to Penn state, we see where that ended up. Staff is usually ahead of the curve evaluating kids, especially when they get them at camp

My comment wasn't about the staff but that stars assigned by scouting agencys. McSorely was a 3 star by Rivals. It worked out pretty well.

yeah, we are on same page, was just saying our staff is ahead of curve on evaluations, their recruits usually get bumps when their junior or senior film comes out and they hit the camp circuits

We Are......Better!!! Derek Wingo with the Christmas Day commit!!!

Pair of 4* kids from MD commit to PSU. Curtis Jacobs and Joshuah Moten. Two solid pickups in a class that could potentially be PSU's highest ranked class ever.

yeah, we lead for 2 top 10 overall players right now with Bressee and Fleming

 

[linebackeru]

2 BW commits, RJ Adams at OG and Cole Brevard DT. BRevard is huge get, had offers from everyone.

How do you guys think this class will shake out in the end? Who are the top targets? Ranking top 5,10,15 class?

Top 10, we will take a full 25 pretty much every year now with the transfer portal uncertainty.

I'm probably not as plugged in as you are, but top 10 seems kind of optimistic at this point imo. Feels like a lot of the top guys in our usual recruiting territory are trending elsewhere right now.

A lot of these kids play the game now. i still think we sit well for Fleming and he leads writers all over the map. already have a very good OL class and our recruits keep getting ratings bumps based on camp performances. We are also in thick of it for a ton of good names up and down coast and in midwest.

Fair enough. Like I said, I'm confident you're more plugged into this stuff than I am, so I'll take your word for it.

Expect another commit tomorrow. Bengally Kamara from Ohio, LB/S kid is big with excellent closing speed, think he ends up at OLB
