Well, you are wrong. Swift is the kind of player that Franklin would make room for. He's a take at any time.
Not at all. Go read Sean's posts...man does stuff get twisted. Nor did his girlfriend either.
Which part of this statement is written in a language that you are not conversant in?:
Yes, and after that you offered your gut opinion, which was wrong.Which part of this statement is written in a language that you are not conversant in?:
"I can't read the Coach's minds (neither can anyone else)......."
"Me thinks" you don't know the meaning of a lot of words.
If I had to guess, Lovett's scholarship is contingent on someone leaving early so he won't know if there's room for him until after the bowl game. Rutgers is probably plan B. As bad as their team is, playing in NJ is much better than playing in Iowa.
Playing football where in NJ is better than Iowa? Kean, Glassboro, Trenton State?
Shonn Greene disagrees with you...NJ kid who chose to go to Iowa and had a successful college career and then went to the NFL...I'd say Iowa usually produces much better NFL lineman which is good for running backs...than that team to the east
I understand what you are saying (that no one knows what the coaches are thinking). I'm telling you that the hesitation of Swift coming to PSU is on Swift and his family, not Franklin. Over a year ago his dad came out and was adamant that PSU was not the leader for his son, despite early reports. I'm not saying that they don't like PSU, but Georgia/the SEC has always been #1 to them.
Right now, I think that Iowa is plan C. I believe the kid wants to come to PSU but we are just not an option for him at this time. Rutgers is the 2nd choice, but the MSU offer may make things interesting. We will see if he visits there.
Good for Shonn Greene. How many RBs are currently playing in the NFL from Iowa? None. Maybe a kid like Lovett wants to be near his friends, family, gf and civilization instead of going to a school in the cornfields of Iowa.
Maybe he wants to win football games and go to bowls while playing at a legit football school too. I mean let's stop pretending New Brunswick is Malibu for a minute here.
Who are you responding to, LaJolla. Must be someone I ignore. Let me look at my ignore list and guess. Nate, PoolBoy or Panda?
I doubt that Iowa has the numbers issues that PSU does. If he didn't have serious interest in Rutgers as plan b, why go on the OV after decommiting?
Long ago two gorgeous girls from Iowa, and there's a lot of them, told me there's only two thongs to do in Iowa. One is to pick corn.
Huhhh, you were comparing RU to Iowa. There is no comparison there when it comes to football. PSU is tight on spots and we'll see what shakes out there.
No no, you misinterpreted. I never fret about recruits. I like reading about recruiting but I never think a recruit is a "must get" or "have to have". I think Penn State is wonderful and can never understand why someone, with a few exceptions being Ivy's, Stanford, etc, would turn down the opportunity to come live/study/play football for free. My mind set is always that we'll get good players and field a good team.
Bingo
Yeah, he is definitely locked in to being a CB only on defense. I have heard that he may even be a shade under 5'9". He is a hell of a talent, but considering his size and his class A competition, I would have him as a low four star.
Just like Cam Brown was too tall for LB?? Can we please stop with the you need a certain body type for this position crap?
Do you really think that a 5'8 1/2" kid can play LB? In the Big Ten? This isn't Clairton. He's not playing against 230 lbs linemen and 170 lbs runningbacks.
Idk what he'll weigh or how tall he'll be in 3 years. It might be the big 12 too. I suggested safety as his tweet did.
Safety is more realistic, although not ideal. Not unheard of though. LB is out of the question.
I'd go but it's too near Pitts for my liking.
Exception not the rule. Can people stop with this LB nonsense?
I mean, Sam Mills didn't play FBS football. Nor did he make it in the NFL right away. He also happened to be 232 lbs and was one of the widest individuals on the field. He was never built like Wade.
