The ratings are meaningless, glad to have him on board
What BS! On what basis. He hasn’t taken a snap in his senior year
Pitt is always an option. It's never the best option but it's always an option.
Almost time to fill the last OL spot in this class??

Andre Roye puts Penn State in top-4; will the Lions land him?: Analysis
The three-star lineman from Baltimore named the Nittany Lions, Rutgers, N.C. State, and Maryland as finalists.
Did Rivals say he has mobility issues ala Hackenburg? Allar looked more than capable on that play, pretty impressive throw on the run.
i said the same thing...he was doing this kinda stuff last year too on his junior tape...like a young Ben Roethlisberger really...Allar just looked a little more stiff in some of those drills at Elite 11 camp compared to others but some of those top guys were more advanced in those footwork drills and the Rivals guy just took it too far comparing him to a statue like Hackenburg

Three must-see high school football games for Penn State fans Friday night
Penn State fans should have a few games circled on their calendar for Friday night.
Time for 247sports to add On3 to the composite.

Yeah, those have been out for a few weeks now. They have Singleton as the No. 1 or No. 2 RB, too, I believe.
If you’re going to McDevitt v LaSalle get there early. McD has a bunch of activities planned pregame starting at 3:00 pm. Parking ingress and egress will be a mess.I'm back from vacation. Should have a few more free articles to come before the season starts

Three Penn State commits who are set to outplay their ratings this season
Which current commits could potentially move up in the rankings with a good senior season?
I like a lotta these Hi-Star guys but how many of them will be out there running aroun out there with a leg cast on like Curtis Drake at the very same time 96% of the world wants to nuke University Park. Who cares if he flamed out in 12', in 11' he was ridin' 💯👆🫀
Tell me where you found the Stanley and Kevin sprouts flying up out the farm. Show me that farm.

Greg and I hit on a few topics today. Recruiting is slow, so it's hard to do 40 minutes on just recruiting, but we hit on a few recruiting topics, the alliance, preseason camp, upcoming high school games, etc..

Great name Isom...
I remember people were comparing Curtis Drake to Curtis Dickey...the one time horse of a running back for A&M!!!
Analyzing Penn State's Class of 2022 by average points per player
Ranking No. 84 overall, Barham's commitment would add 156 points to Penn State's total, but since Rivals only counts
Good write up. In terms of final ranking I think you are spot on. Final ranking somewhere in the 11-15 range seems about right, given where other schools currently stand.

Based on the last 5 recruiting classes, their current point total puts them in the 9 - 11 range. If they add anyone that boosts their point total, they could finish in the 7 - 9 range.
It seems like recruiting is very slow for all of the recruiting powers. Serious question - is there some kind of dead period going on right now? I would imagine things will really get going once the season starts, but teams like Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, OSU, Texas A&M all seem to have been stuck on a number for the past few weeks.Greg and I hit on a few topics today.

I don't believe it is an official dead period now, but college football practice started a couple of weeks ago, and high school football pre-season practice/scrimmages/first games have occurred over the past couple of weeks. Based on that, you don't see too much recruiting activity in August. Once recruits are able to get on campus for college football games and visits (i.e. September and forward), then you will see more recruiting activity.
August is pretty much a dead period. Only exceptions are for schools with games, when the days surrounding the games are "quiet."
I didn't see it posted but Brian Dohn put a CB in for Roye to PSU (Confidence 7) on 8/24.
Is he an under the radar type of guy? PSU and Michigan seem to be the only blue bloods that have extended offers.
Friday Mailbag: Will Penn State sign an elite linebacker class in 2023?
Ryan Snyder discusses linebackers, Drew Allar and Kaytron Allen in this week's recruiting mailbag.
I can't tell, and I'm also not sure why the coaching staff is prioritizing Andre Roye over Ryan Brubaker as an OG/OT in the 2022 recruiting class. Maybe the lure of St. Frances Academy? We are competing with Maryland and Rutgers for Roye's commitment. While Brubaker did fall in the recent Rivals and 247 rankings which substantiates the coaching staff's late concerns in his recruitment, he is still a top 250 player where as Roye is much lower in the rankings.

Thank you! Appreciate the post here and question pulled.
Do you think South Carolina is all that much better than Maryland? (Not going to throw Rutgers in there lol)
The word is workouts. The staff likes who they like.
Seems like a great question to ask Ryan in his Friday mailbag!?!?
Sounds like Coach Traut really likes Roye, even vs. Brubaker. I will also throw in the nugget that Roye also attends the same HS as 4* LB Jaishawn Barham - which can't hurt from a peer recruiting standpoint.
"in the rankings" ??
Not in the rankings that count for PSU......
i.e. the rankings of Trautwein and the rest of the PSU staff regarding which young players will develop and help PSU win football games......
"that much better" ??
To who? You? Me? Glov? Or to an individual recruit that has priorities for his athletic career and accademic studies that only he and his family know?
I don't believe generalizations work well with the recruitment of individual players....
Of course they do. He's being recruited by D1 programs. All any of us do is compare.
The point I was conveying: worrying (another poster, not you) about a recruit (Brubaker) we apparently liked less than another (Roye) because the one we want is being recruited by Maryland while the other is verballed to South Carolina is worthless because we are still in the hunt for the player we want.
It wouldn't matter if Andre Roye went to SFA or a school in the middle of Alaska. As a pure prospect, he sits solidly higher than Brubaker, and there are probably a few names between the two on the board.
I don't believe that Brubaker is still on the Trautwein's board. If the staff can't get another OT for this class that they believe can develop into a top B10 OT they will either move on with what they have in the class now, or will explore the portal this winter. It's not like the OT depth chart will be bare in 2022 without Walker.
