Will Wiltdong get credit for guessing walker to PSU? Seems late to be able to say "i told you so"

Especially with that world class football facility they just finished on the water.
That recruiting ranking grid is further proof they need to rebalance the divisions.
I would like to watch another of the Michigan Man's podcast after this debacle for UM!! That would be priceless!
its a good point....east with five teams in the top 30, west with one (at 24).
Not like the old monkey on crack days but a little excitement anyway
Not a bad haul around the region.
Maryland 3 of the top 6 players. Walker, Mustipher, and George
Pennsylvania 5 of top 10 players. Parsons, Kuntz, Dotson, Tarburton, Luketa
New Jersey 2 of the top 5 players. Shorter and Oweh
Virginia 2 of the top 5 players. Slade and Asiedu
Mass top player in the state. Pat Freiermuth

Funny how the other "gurus" seemed to be much more tactful. They might say, I'd be surprised if he didn't announce for XYZ. They still go out of their way to respect the recruit, his family and their process.
Perhaps in this case it required this one individual to abandon the traditions that seem to be in place. If so, I didn't see it.
With all that's come down the pike on this recruitment, it read a lot more like this one individual was too invested in the outcome, it didn't go his way, so he wanted to dump on the ceremony.
Your mileage may vary, of course.
Positive results are based on how early the pick goes in. Basically this just saves him from a negative result. Anyone who flipped to PSU in recent days will get 0 points.

Yes but worth keeping in mind that Iowa, Wisconsin, NW punch way above their recruiting star rankings -- and Nebraska used to. If Nebraska ever rediscovers their mojo, the West doesn't look so bad.
The west has some issues...there is no fertile recruiting area for the most part. Neb and dip into that KC and St Louis area that produces some kids every year, but other than Chi town...it's hard for these guys to keep up with everyone else. They can still win plenty of games, but it's going to get harder and harder for the west to produce a BT champ. It will happen in time, but it seems like it will be around 20% of the time.
Nicholas Petit-Frere looks good and quick in pass coverage in his video, but needs to add 30-40# to be a run blocker. He is the size of a DE. We'll see how quick he is at his eventual playing weight. Walker, on the other hand, looks ready to play Div 1 football. Big AND fast. Not sure how NP-F is ranked #1 OT, and Walker is #6-8(??????).
Yup. Franklin said pre the Walker announcement they were only waiting on a decision from 1 guy.

It’s over. What to do now?
Wait! 2019.
This has been a hell of a thread - from Parsons to Fields to Oweh and Walker; great job by everyone who takes the time to share news and offer insight. But, it’s over now -
Alright, you twisted my arm. Let's give Rutgers to the West. They can give us anything (and I'll literally mean "anything") in return.
Meh. This was only a 4 star thread anyway, 2019 is going to be a 5 star!This has been a hell of a thread - from Parsons to Fields to Oweh and Walker; great job by everyone who takes the time to share news and offer insight. But, it’s over now -
SAB not qualifying, Ish got arrested perhaps both will be part of team in the future.
