Allen and Cam Miller seem to have surpassed Nelson on the CB big board a while ago. Flowers and Winston will probably be the highest-level safety tandem we've signed in a really, really long time, and might end up bumping Mills down to the hybrid safety/linebacker role.
Seems like Driver could fit into the Safety mold as well.
Just went over to take a look. All I see is a bunch of complaints that NIL killed the bagman. Nothing about DDS. Got a link?
Seven ate nine because you're supposed to eat three squared meals per day.
Will depend on whether a guy like Fearbry or Talley converts to LB -- particularly if/when DDS commits and solidifies the DE position. Doubt Talley moves from DE, but perhaps Fearbry?
This young man had a pretty big offer sheet and cjf has a great eye for talentI like 3 star Allens....
For you analytic star worshiper types.
1. 17 year olds often mature physically over the next 3 years of their life
2. High School players are often playing out of the position in high school
3. They often grow into another position and out of the one they are evaluated for by the numbnut recruiting services.
3 star Marcus Allen is a great example of a 3 star that won many games by the goal line stops he made and the fumbles he caused and is now an NFL lb.
Here is a fun article... Anyone recall that Troy Drayton WR that grew into a pretty good TE.. and played in the nfl a while. Anyone remember Greg Jones? How about Guttuso? Here is a pretty good article about 3 stars and PSU.
Penn State Football: Former three-star recruits who turned into Studs
Penn State Football has developed some top talent out of players who arrived in Happy Valley as unheralded three-star recruits.victorybellrings.com
I think CJF has an eye for people that have an eye for talent
Either way it’s effective
All the way back to '99, even with a crazy deep LB room, we played half the snaps in a 4-2-5. It's been trending that way for a long time.
Regarding the LB’s, with Barham trending to SC and Murphy a ?, I’d say that Carter’s offer is most likely commitable at this point.
There are some who think recruiting should be a matter of the coaching staff looking at the recruiting services rankings and chasing after those that are among the top rated there. LOL LOL LOL......"I don't understand why we are going after 3 stars so early in the process...." mentality. Throughout the process (recruiting services) rankings can go up or down......what really matters to me is where a prospect is rated by the coaches. Especially if they've had the chance to see them and or work them out in person. Another good indicator to me (although again not fool proof...see Journey Brown) is if the offer sheet looks out of sync with the stars.I like 3 star Allens....

Watch almost any college football game today and 2nd and 7 or more is nickel. Hell, a lot of defenses get in it on 1st and 10 because of one back spread.
Talley apparently has grown quite a bit, don't see him moving from DL. He's more likely to be a DT than a LB at this point.
Quick kid with long arms. Worry that when he puts on good weight he looses some of that quickness. He will need to get a lot stronger as well. We will see.
Well, unfortunately considering the lack of a PSU visit to date, unless he is Jordan Allen Part 2 or visits within the next 2 weeks we all know one school that he WON'T be choosing.
