Unhappy Valley? 11 Penn State Players In Transfer Portal + 5 Leaving For NFL

[Across The Field]

Given the rumors that Franklin was angling for the USC job, I don’t this is surprising

I never saw anything about him being the interested party there. In fact he denied the rumors a couple times at least, I believe.

Wade was your top recruit in the 2017 class, and was top 50 in the nation overall. Have to imagine his time was coming soon, no?

Probably the starting FS next year.

Was reported couple times. His denial of is more likely confirmation of his interest or at least his agent sniffing around

Or agent trying to “Nick Saban” Penn State into a pay raise.

I am 99% positive one of the talking heads saying that he was angling behide the scenes for the job.

Like one of the ESPN talking heads?

Y.. I only remember it, because I was thinking that it makes sense after riding the QB and Saquon to relevance

TMZ is a better source of reliable sports journalism than ESPN, so I'd take it with a grain of salt.

He seems to be recruiting just fine at PSU, and it's not as if McSorely was some once in a lifetime talent. He was a 3 star recruit who listened and played his heart out. I'm not saying it's easy to find those guys, but at Penn State you should be able to restock the shelves fairly easily.

McSorley was a good college player and paired with a generational talent at RB the results are good.


To be honest coaches and agents are always doing this stuff. They reach out (not directly) and say “we would’ve open to listening to offers”, doesn’t necessarily mean anything more than “if you moneywhip my ass, I will leave or at least use it against my current employer”

Oh sure, that wouldn't be shocking. I just don't believe Franklin is specifically after the USC job. I'm sure if it was a school like Notre Dame, Miami, or LSU that came open, he'd be possibly mentioned too. The money grab makes sense too.

We've lost about 25 players since Morris took over, although that's probably not a bad thing

Franklin got saved by that B10 title year but I wouldn't be shocked if he was gone in a few more seasons. He loses a generational QB and RB in back to back years and has like 2 wins against Mich/MSU/OSU. I could see him having some major issues.

9-4 was majorly disappointing for Penn State this year considering they were #10/9 preseason and expected to compete for the B1G title this season. Lost to Ohio State (blown lead again) and got wrecked by Michigan.

Things are likely to get worse before they get better next season. No McSorely/Sanders, Solid blows to the OL/DL with the early entrants. Best secondary member is gone. They did have some quality young contributes this past season but I dont think overall it's there to compete for the B1G title.

That is kind of expected. They went the polar opposite with Morris. I am sure the roster looked like the island of misfit toys to him

Yeah, I think PSU could be in some trouble here in the next few years. They did bring in some solid recruiting classes but Franklin seems to be struggling.

Shareef Miller leaving early is a tough one... he was a key disruptor.

Interested to see how Tommy Stevens and Ricky Slade takeover in the backfield. Possibly a step up from last year.

He does have a pretty solid recruiting class lined up but the depth definitely took a hit.

He was pretty on edge this year I'm wondering if he didn't shove some of these guys out as an example

coaching has been a bigger problem recently than talent. Some of Franklin's in game decisions last year were big head scratchers.

I personally loved them lol. I remember during the Michigan game we were wondering what the hell he was doing on multiple occasions. Didn't he do something stupid like punt the ball when he was on our like 30 yard line?
