Asida Isaac announcing at noon, feel really good about PSU here. Jakai Moore announcing this afternoon as well, thought this would be a slam dunk, but there appears to be some confidence on South Carolina side.

Great pickup getting Isaac. DL is a position of need right now in this class as well. Moore seems to be all SC but it appears PSU will have a real shot of flipping Nester if he doesn't sign with OSU on Wednesday, which looks likely at this point. Moore would have been a nice get but if they can manage to get Nester, losing him would be negligible. Also, how real is this smoke about Harrison? Couple of CBs (including Wiltfong) have went cloudy in the past few days, does PSU have a legit chance there?

Moore is a better OT prospect than Nester, while Nester ranks higher overall, but is mainly OG, Moore stings, especially to a school that has a coach who's proven he can't win big at a school with very little history of winning.

Harrison, nobody seems to have any idea what he'll do. None of the 3 Michigan, PSU or OSU would surprise me at all

Lots of chances to get OT in 2020 with Carmody, Parks, Harrison, Zinter and others though. Plus Nester was originally ranked as an OT, though it seems like he'd slide inside ideally. We should be fine, though it would have been nice to get Moore.

 

[linebackeru]

Our AVG ranking per player is #4 overall in nation this class, actually up from last year's class slightly. We are on a constant reload cycle now with Franklin, not rebuild

Sources: Georgia QB Fields exploring transfer

Any noise about PSU being a possible destination if Fields transfers?

Doubt it. If he wants to play right away, he'd need to come in and they would have to displace a guy who is very well respected and very talented in Tommy. If he's smart, he has Lincoln Riley on speed dial, he would be a monster in that offense. Also, Moorhead loses his QB and Fields would fit well there. Kid should've just stuck to his original commitment, we would've only taken 1 this year the. Would have 6 schollies tied up in QB if we took his transfer, 5 as FR/soph

Looks like Dunmore is in, no surprises as far as commits flipping elsewhere. Waitingon Cain to sign in 15-20 minutes and see where Harrison officially ends up, guessing OSU

Cain commits to PSU. Seemed like a pipe dream a month or so ago, but credit to Seider and Franklin for landing him. PSU should be done for the day as most people think Zach Harrison is all OSU.

Seider is the man. We need to keep him locked up on PSU staff

Anyone maybe announcing PSU during Army All American game?

It would be a surprise if anyone announcing in that game was for PSU.

Was thinking of going to the game but guess I’ll just watch Texans on TV instead

 

[linebackeru]

Lance Dixon and Caeden Wallace are playing in the game.

So we’re about 3 weeks out from NSD, how many spots are there still in this class? Seems like there’s still quite a few targets out there on the board. I suppose this flurry of transfers opens up quite a few spots to bring in more kids in this cycle?

DL is still a big need for this class. There are 4-5 guys that PSU appears to be after. They look to be in a good spot for Ellies (who’s committing Saturday) and Vilbert. Still pursuing JHH but that doesn’t look as sure as it did a month or so ago. Apparently Jaquaze Sorrells is going to take an official but that seems like a bit of a long shot right now. Apparently PSU is also in the thick of it for Nick Cross again as well as Doug Nester. Seems like they’d like to add another WR too but I’m not sure there’s any options out there right now that would be a take and have legit interest. Those would be two massive gets at the end of the cycle. If PSU has some things fall their way, they could be looking at a top 8 ish class nationally and the top class in the B10, which would be a first for Franklin and a massive accomplishment.

They are in on several WR's and will likely take one more. The guys you mentioned above all in play, looks like momentum with us on Cross, Sorrells not as big a long shot as you'd think, Ellies committting Saturday night, all signs point to us. We will probably just plan on full 25 every year.

Swooping in and taking Sorrells would be great, especially if they lose out on JHH. Apparently Vilbert is going to be announcing soon as well and PSU looks like they’re in a good place there as well. Should be an exciting finish.

Vilbert may announce today, PSU looks like lock there. Sorrells would be very nice add, a finish of CRoss, Ellies, Vilbert, Sorrells, Nester, a WR and a random best player available would be nice

 

[linebackeru]

Vilbert commits to PSU

 

[linebackeru]

D'Von Elles commits, actually signed in December and kept it quiet to announce last night at Polynesian bowl
