Sounds like weekend is off to good start. Settle tweeted amazing visit and that he'll be back and Burrell seemed blown away.

Was about to say this. Burrell in particular seemed amazed, I think we have a good chance at him now.

1. Step 1: Getting Seattle to visit = Accomplished
2. Step 2: Impressing him = Accomplished
3. Step 3: Make him want to come back = Accomplished
4. Step 4: Get him back to PSU during a game, hopefully White Out = In Progress

Honestly, a tweet wouldn't surprise me today. I know Jenkins is/was on campus and I believe Burrell might still be there as well. Just wouldn't surprise me.

Jenkins not on campus this weekend. He i coming back next week for Blue-White game. I wouldn't expect any more commits till then

Yeah I heard he was from somewhere, but you're right. And I agree about Blue-White, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few commits next weekend.

BOOM, Adam McLean tweets that he will be attending B-W game, which is big because he was set to participate in a Rivals camp that day and has apparently bailed to visit us for the game instead of the day befoire

How many people are we going to be able to have in this class? I know that most assume the sanctions will be reduced again or eliminated completely, but if they aren't how many can we realistically sign?

They are going for full 25. Some people will get the "you'd fit in better at another program" speech that happens a lot in coaching transitions and they'll find those kids who choose to leave a landing spot Also have normal attrition with kids who know they aren't going to fit in new system and others who leave instead of playing a 5th year. We will take 25 or very close to it in one way or another, bank on that.

Thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone have a full list of prospects that will be at the BW game that is viewable without being a subscriber to anything?

I'll dig around, but think most are VIP. Its an impressive list, but several will not be present because of those damn Rivals camps. The list of kids for 2016 class is really impressive as well. I see several Woodland Hills and Aliquiippa kids listed

 

[thehobocop]

Yeah I figured most would be pay to see, it's not that big a deal, sounds like it's a pretty nice list. Hopefully a few kids will pull the trigger.

I'd be surprised if nobody does this weekend. Snyder from Rivals said over 100 prospects expected on campus tomorrow. Adam McLean is already on his way with the Allen boys from MD

Yeah I saw him tweet that, with 100 prospects there you would think someone walls commit right? lol My money would be on Jenkins or Whitehead or both

Whitehead not visiting anywhere this weekend. If Bowens makes it, my money is on him and Jenkins

 

[thehobocop]

McLean just tweeted that he committed . Hopefully he's the first of many today.
