It does. I can agree there. I think his big game against Ohio state will mean something if he can just test ok. He runs in the 4’s so it isn’t like he has my speed.
Another PSU offer to a portal CB, Gavin Holmess, a highly-sought cornerback out of Wake Forest

Penn State identifies new transfer portal target at cornerback
Penn State has identified another target for its transfer portal pursuits in a three-year performer at cornerback at a Power Five program.
UNC did not have a good defense this season. Giving up a ton of points and yardage.
Yet somehow this 5 star defensive back Grimes lost his starting position. So not sure if he is a big prize.

I was at the Pitt - UNC game and watched most of the UNC games. Grimes didn't stand out. I thought that Storm Duck (great name), was the better. He may also be in the portal.
Fair point. They don't wear their HS star rating on their uniforms. Under-rated players that start at a lower level but outperform, those guys are often a good portal risk
Someone at Pitt and 24/7 announced he committed to Pitt yesterday, but Davis says that’s not so.
Thoughts?

Penn State has second chance at WVU transfer receiver
Transfer portal gives Penn State a second chance at recruiting this once coveted wide receiver

Didn't see it when I posted. We can alternatively not bump this thread to make snarky comments? Or perhaps a mod can move this into the transfer thread?
Soph that appears to have not really gotten onto the field at LSU. Might be worth kicking the tires but also may be a reason he didn't see the field in 2 years even in garbage time.
Franklin and his staff reportedly recruited Prather hard a couple years agao and Prather was at PSU many times. If Frankin and Stubblefield were high on Prather when he was coming out of H.S. and PSU was Prather's 2nd choice as most believe, given Prather's production together with his size it would seem that Prather would now be at the top of PSU's portal WR board. But only the shaddow knows for sure!!Thoughts?

A lot of players our staff recruited out of HS are in the portal. Some players we didn't recruit that are now high level players are in the portal, have interest and have/will visit.
Right now, it seems to be a matter of finding proven production and favorable measurements for what the offense lacks. I would not be shocked if we see a lot of 4 and 5 WR sets with Allar at QB. The TE-centric offense developed more over the year. With Washington and Tinsley, we just didn't seem to have 4-5 WRs we trusted consistently (or was it Clifford?).
2 seems 100%, 3 if the right people wish to come on board and come available. I don't know where Prather fits myself. He seems like an "or" prospect with Thornton personally, but the staff could love both.
Lol didn’t see it when you posted? You started the other thread lmao
I didn't see it near the top when I posted. Also, I didn't start the transfers thread. I started a thread that was maybe the first about a specific transfer player and the mods used it to combine the other threads into the transfer thread.
What makes you think that? The first time around the kid did everything he could do to not come to PSU.
Interesting given Smith's ties to Gateway, my H.S. as well. But my guess is that Franklin will not use a portal scholarship on a transfer Safety. Current roster with Reed, Wheatley, Winston, Flowers and possibly Ellis at Safety plus the 2023 class Safety's make the position about the least likely for an incoming transfer.
WR, WR, WR, WR, WR, WR.............
T Smith was here the first time that he didn't want to come here. I think the kid has no interest in PSU or he would have already been here.
How do you know Franklin told PW to leave? Maybe he advised him to stay and PW opted to leave anyway. Players have brains and can make their own decisions too.
I don't actually. I believe Franklin may have advised him to stay. These guys have a lot of outside people advising them and I don't know who they are, but some of our guys are getting bad advice.
YES YES YES YES YES! THIS IS HUGE!
Probing the Portal: Penn State Continues Push For Wide Receivers (12.14.22)
It’s all about the pass catchers.

Just looked at his stats. In 2021 he had 82 rec, 1,240 yards, 9 TDS and averaged 15.1 yards. Stats were down this year but his yards per catch went up to 15.5.
Nice pick up For UW.

The Badgers land a former four-star quarterback in the portal
Some of those numbers are downright damning indictments of the programs. We didn't lose that many guys in the post-Sandusky scandal. What a joke in terms of culture.
These are football factories that play big time ball. Hopefully everyone knows what they are signing up for when they commit. The strongest survive and others are pushed aside for new talent. Props to UGA for only having one.
Kirby seems to have stolen Sabans magic. Getting the HS kids he wants. Developing them better than his peers.
It will be interesting to see if there is a late exodus from UGA after the playoff, as at least some of their low number is likely due to wanting to be a part of a "championship" team.
But if you remember, the first year of the portal PSU lost a big number of players. But if I remember correctly not one went on to top a program. i.e. they all traded down to get playing time as they were marginal talents that Franklin took coming out of the sanctions.
Wonder if the TAM number is a result of taking the money that inticed them to go there and then leaving for playing time, or leaving for a better culture, or ???

I wasn’t thinking, there will certainly be some movement after the playoffs.
Wow, that was almost like admitting you were wrong. Which would an internet first!
