Matt Zanellato staying put. Very good downfield threat, scheduled to be our no. two/three receiver....on scholarship, for now at least.

Per @BillBankGreene, Ross Douglas pulls the trigger and commits to Michigan. That leaves (presumably) one spot left in the 2013 class.







Damn Penn State.

Like I said if I was a senior or junior why would I leave?

Been there for 3-4 years, built friendships, relationships, bled blue and white, and to abandon that to go to another city where you don't know anyone, different system run, prob have the respect of a walk on freshman.

 

[Grams]

I think people are underestimating how much at least being able to play is gonna help PSU

 

[Trojan 24]

Silas to SC would be a good look. I'm sure he could plug in at the number 2 RB

Penn State might have the biggest exodus since the to the Coli

Yeah this year wont be give it 2-3 years....right now the freshmen just wanna play. When they get to their JR or SR year they gonna wanna play for a championship or bowl game.

The grace period is only this year I'm pretty sure, so you can't wait till your junior year and oh I want to play without sitting out a year.

I can see freshies and sophs leaving, junior and seniors unless you are a big star and can play right away eh


Starting is always better than rotting on te bench or playing special teams or nickel and dime packages

 

[Trust Me]

The only guys that will stick around are the ones with LEGIT NFL opportunities. They'll play this year out and then bounce.

Any other guy could (and should) exercise his right to leave.

And to Shaq .. it IS gonna be bad for ya'll bruh. Maybe not this year .. but after all the defections, and the loss of schollies, and even more attrition ... there's gonna be blood fam.

I know...gonna be a 6-10 year rebuilding plan most likely, I hope they let BOB do his thing and keep him around -- let him weather the storm.

But I'm talking specifically about the guys on the current roster jumpin ship..I don't see it happening in flocks like some people see a lot of the players have already been vocal about staying at PSU..Silas, Hodges, Hill we gotta watch out for. But again, we'll see how it turns out.

And there's always hope for guys like: Deon Butler Statistics | College Football at Sports-Reference.com and Matt McGloin Statistics | College Football at Sports-Reference.com who have exceeded all expectations after being walk-ons.

People are underestimating PSU. We'll see how things work out.

 

[MikelArteta]

Rebuilding may suck but remember kellen Moore Was a 3 star recruit with only boise state, idaho, Eastern Washington wanting him

Some undersized, 2 or 3 star qb may still go to penn state and have a stellar four year career

 

[Brozay]

Great thread.

What if Coach O'Brien does pull off some miracle and PSU is competitive after our football team serves it's time under the sanctions?
