Penn State 2015 Recruiting thread

On another positive note, sounds like Whitehead is visiting PSU the weekend before he decides for our game. Supposed to be at another game earlier as well.

Does he have a date set for his decision?

October 3rd and he's visiting us September 27 for what I believe is homecoming game

Love what Penn State continues to do post-Sandusky scandal. Bill O'Brien was the perfect hire after Joe Pa was out and James Franklin seems to be continuing on with the rebuild or retooling or however you prefer to put it. The Big Ten will be interesting to watch the next few years, especially this Nittany Lion team.

Just read that Wimbush confirmed that Stanford is no longer an option, and he's 100% PSU

Never a doubt.

Marcus Lewis decomitted from Florida today. I believe he's visited PSU before and holds an offer, a lot of our guys from the DMV are friends with him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he starts getting some interest from the staff. Definitely a name to watch

Yo, saw some smoke about Wimbush and Stanford. I don't know the whole story but knew you all had an active page so figured I would pass it along. It was on 247, but I don't remember the author. Maybe Simmons?

Sorry if this is old news. I didn't read through the whole thread.

Wimbush, McLean and Gonzo have been on him. If they can get a visit, who knows. He's certainly become intrigued by our recruiting success

Basketball news:

Penn State men's basketball and head coach Patrick Chambers have landed a big one.

Class of '16 power forward Joe Hampton from Oak Hill Academy in DC area has made his verbal commitment to the Nittany Lions. The 6-foot-7, 247 pound junior is a Rivals.com four-star prospect ranked No. 60 in the country for the Class of 2016.

Highly skilled inside and out, Hampton becomes the most highly-rated recruit to commit to the Nittany Lions during the rankings era.

Chambers is on fire. Had a top 10 2015 class and on way to a top 10 2016 class. Hopefully he gets extended and can see it through with these high end players

It appears we have made DeBerry's top 8 schools. What are the chances we can land him over VT, VA, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oklahoma, OSU, or Bama?

We definitely have a chance. A couple of our guys are friends with him and are recruiting him hard. I believe one if his parents also went to Penn State so he definitely has some ties.

That would be the biggest recruit for Franklin so far. Any decision date for him?

Probably the biggest for this class so far, I think Simmons for 2016 is probably bigger. And I don't think he has a date set, but I'd imagine it won't be for a while, he's probably going to take all his officials.

yeah, I'd say simmons is bigger and Sanders could end up ranked higher as well, this class, I'd argue Jenkins simply because he was a very highly ranked kid with offers from everyone and put the stamp on Dominate the State.

Definitely a chance, he was very impressed on his visit and we are in the mix. Get him for an official and who knows what can happen with this staff
