2022 Recruiting Class Thread

Don't overthink it if you're wondering if Antonio Gates Jr. is related to another former great football player with that name. Not a coincidence. MSU has both of his crystal balls currently.

After watching Popeye Williams' highlights he looks fast and quick to the ball, and gets off blocks very well, but somewhat undersized for a DE. Listed at 6'3", but unless those other players on tape are all 6'4"+ that might be a little exaggerated.... Is he another H.S. DE that PSU sees as a B10 LB?

Saw that he measured in at 6-2 218 at one of the big camps where he was named MVP. Also...

Had a chance to watch Flowers and Ivey this weekend. Coming into the game my impression was that Flowers was more of a SAB-type player from Harrisburg. An athlete who was not a polished player. Wow, I was wrong. Flowers is really good.
Ivey impresses every time I see him. He is a threat to score on every play. These two are the kind of kids PSU needs to reel in to close the gap on O$U. They are both big kids with great body control who can run.

I saw Flowers play last year, in fact my nephew (same year group) tackled him in the open field. He is clearly very talented and was physically superior to anyone on the field but he also seems super loose with the ball. That is correctable but it was like a loaf of bread he's swinging around out there. Keep in mind, this was as a 10th grader so maybe he's improved more.
