JWC come on down?

Time for some actual football talk.......

Some interesting weight changes, particularly on the OL and at DT, where the 4 2024 DT's seem to be coming along nicely in the S&C as they will be counted on to some degree in 2025 after the top 4 DT's likely are gone although Izzard has another year of eligibility if he wants to use it.

DT should be a strength as the 2 deep of Ellies, Durant, Izzard and Beamon have all been playing at PSU for 3 years, and the backups have also been at PSU for at least a couple of years, Ford, Artis and potentially Blanding who is a RS Freshman.

Should also be interesting to see what Smith Vilbert does at over 290 lbs, at both DE and DT.

And good to see Martin over 200 lbs as he could be a real difference maker in limited reps and on special teams.

Below we will be tracking all of the social media updates and posting any notable tidbits we learn from the fourth Official Visit weekend.

Whether you are or are not where you would like to be right now, do you have a viable plan/strategy? Are there things that you are looking to change/improve? What goals have you have set and what steps are you taking to achieve them?

I wish you all great success, even those of you who like to argue with or attack me personally. My personal view is that it is great to learn from others no matter who they might be. IMO you have to be humble enough to listen to everyone's views even if you disagree with them. Sometimes those that you don't expect offer thoughts that you have never considered that may just change your outlook. Thank you to those who are willing to share their personal experiences (successes and mistakes), expertise, and strategies.

From the Brain himself, since Tom Ryan arrived he’s never had a recruiting class rated lower than 13 (Cael has had several NR classes since 2010). In the last 6 years, here are the comparitive rankings:

Ohio State: 6,1,13,10,1 and 3 this year

PSU: 4,22,1,7,NR, and 1

What’s (not) going on in Columbus?

James Franklin’s program will certainly keep an eye on Rivals Five-Star. There are a number of four-stars that the program is recruiting hard who will be in attendance. Wide receivers Naeshaun Montgomer and Taz Williams are high on the board for the Nittany Lions. Penn State is also still in the hunt with four-star wideout Corey Simms as a darkhorse in that race.

Cornerback commit Jahmir Joseph has an opportunity to improve his ranking with a strong showing against a very talented group of wide receivers.

If they can not publish this, how could anyone be held responsiaxble. We need to know ; total donations, administrative costs by line item and payments made to each player. Are there laws that govern soliciting money in PA. This seems like a money pit. If I had all the money in tahe world, I would not give a nickel. I may have attended my last game. The b

How on god’s green earth did Rembrandt make this team? It makes no sense whatsoever. Was it because he could tag a wall with a “W”? GTF out of here! Maybe, just MAYBE he could have made the Lizzies, but he was NOT Warrior material.
