Penn State 2018 Recruiting Thread

[linebackeru]

Be prepared for this thread to heat up....starting with the new committment of LB Charlie Katshir

 

[fonze232]

Franklin has done the most damage in Feb and March. With the season he had, and the guys already in, and a nice junior day a few days ago, he should kill it over the next few weeks.

Anybody (linebackeru or others) want to predict who jumps on board between now and Spring Ball?

What's the deal on Katshir's mediocre rating? To much weight to add to be considered a 4 star guy? He seems underrated with his athleticism and frame.

Luketa, Slade, Young and Tarburton and maybe Anderson-Butts if his grades are good enough to take are all stroong possibilities....I think Slade and Luketa sooner than later

His rating will go up, as will Luketa's when they review junior film and the kids hit camp circuit. PSU LOVED Katshir at camp last year.

Buckle up for a fun afternoon

Geez I guess I'm okay with another stud RB for the 3rd straight recruiting class.

We skipped a class with 17, but did get 4 studs in 15-16 and 18

18 class could be the best in PSU history if we can hold onto them for a year from poachers.

If you look back at the 90's we had some MONSTER classes. This one should be the best of the era since they started doing the rankings on the services, but looking back at KiJana and Lavar's classes as well as a few around them.....well, this class has some ways to go to get there. If we keep doing it on teh field, not worried about poachers. Only guy we lost this year was just pussy whipped and we replaced him with a higher ranked kid.

I am very excited to see what this staff does with the momentum they have and on field success they can now sell, not just hope and promise

We also need to worry about coaches leaving which could affect players choosing other schools. However its a very exciting time to be a penn state fan. Compared to a few years ago when we were hearing all the Sandusky jokes.

I think most offensive recruits assume Moorhead won't be there more than another year or 2, they even asked Fields about it and he said it doesn't matter. Other than that, I don't see any coaches that would affect recruiting leaving.

Last year we got 3 including Parsons.

Franklin is going to have a busy day! Work that magic.

It's too bad only a couple commits made it. Finding out that you like and fit in with some future teammates is a big deal IMO. It would be helpful if Parsons would attend some of these things and lend his star status to the cause.

 

[linebackeru]

Sounds like we may not get any triggers pulled this week, but did some serious work for some important recruits and may bget 2019 class rolling sooner than later....very successful weekend

I don't want to hijack this thread or anything but I was listening to Foxnews Radio on the way home from work and out of nowhere, the headline was stated that Graham Spanier was convicted of multiple counts of reckless endangerment of a child and will face prison time. WOW!!

 

[Retroram52]

Actually Spanier was charged and convicted of endangering the welfare of a child which carries the max of five years. He hasn't been sentenced yet. That is coming soon. Looks like his play of arrogance was a significant factor that got him convicted. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Share a cell with Sandusky and let him get fucked. Covering your eyes and ears is just as bad. Makes me sick but glad justice is finally being served. The football team has moved on from this scandal and it was sad the players who had nothing to do with it got punished. PSU is finally moving on but some non fans of PSU like to keep bringing it up just push the program down when success is on the horizon. Heck the horizon is right now. Great success on the field has lead to great recruiting. If PSU can get McSorely or Barkley a Heisman imagine giving Franklin that sales pitch to the recruits. Exciting times for Penn State.
