Penn State 2016 Recruiting Thread

Sounds like we may be getting the first DT domino falling any day now

Mike Dwumfour, DT from NJ who impressed enough at camp to get the offer he'd been waiting for. also of note, he's very good friends with Rashaan Gary

What do you think this means with the D line going forward? Who do you think we will end up with? Lots of D line recruits with interest, who do you think we'll end up taking?

The plan has been 6-7 all along, not sure what combo exactly, maybe 1 swing guy who could end up at DE or DT, but Diaboute is a take, we'll wait on him and I think Wheeler or Jordan could get shut out if one commits soon. I think we get at least 1 more DE, probably 2. Ron Johnson and BNetiku ideally. Could see Daniel Joseph as the wild card who could play DE/DT. They also, in now way, shape or form turn away any chance at Gary at any point

Sounds like another DT domino is gonna fall tonight with Christian Colon from NC. Think it will be Wheeler/Jordan for a spot, wait out Diaboute then if we somehow get in with Gary or take a JUCO for the 5th....not sure we can take both Wheeler and Jordan, would prefer Jordan

 

[linebackeru]

Ellison Jordan committing at 12:30, I know he was worried about getting shut out at his favorite school, this screams PSU on the heels of 2 DT commits this week. Wheeler going to be on outside looking in most likely. Save a spot for Diaboute and if you somehow land gary you take 5...even a JUCO for a 5th

....and Ellison Jordan is a Nittany Lion. Figured once a DT popped dominoes would fall, but holy shit, 3 in 1 week.

I bet Jordan feared his scholly would be pulled since 2 DT's already committed. We went from being a little worried about our DT position to now being overjoyed.

Oh yeah, he knew if he didn't pop and Wheeler decided to jump, he'd be left out. Wheeler is out of picture now, snooze you lose. Figured we'd get Colon and Jordan, but Dwumfor getting ball rolling really sped things up. Supposedly some more action on way between now and Lasch Bash, not sure who or what position, but at least 1 more to pop by then.

Some D-line talent and a punter. Covering all the bases for sure.

 

[linebackeru]

Would love to land Nordin and take care of Kicker spot as well. hearing Terrell Hall could be back in play as well. Him or Betiku at the DE opposite Simmons with the DT's we've brought in WOW

 

[linebackeru]

Daniel Joseph commits to bring this class to 14 members. Can play DE, but is projected to possibly slide inside if neded. Gives some flexibility to DL. 4 star kid with nice offer list

Wow what a great week of recruiting. Franklin is building up the Offense and D-Line with big athletic kids.

Very much needed. That is where the sanctions hurt most. This team is going to be SCARY in 2 years. Still have a good shot to end up with Diaboute and Betiku as well. looks like #1 kicker Nordin also trending our way

 

[Ritzarmy]

Really would like us to land some talented players in secondary.

You think they still take Betiku, Diaboute and a JUCO guy and call it a day for D line?

Don't know if they have spots for all 3, I think it would have to be VERY good JUCO guy who could play right away and they'd need to be thinking Johnson was leaving early.

Sounds like Quinn Nordin could pop for PSU any time now

 

[linebackeru]

Sounds like another flurry of commits may be on way. People really nervous about getting frozen out. This class could be virtually a wrap by game 1

 

[Retroram52]

Nordin would be a very nice commit.

I'd say he's a virtual lock and matter of when not if....guessing Lasch Bash at latest....hoping Hansford is in teh group to pop next
