He's going to be here on an official visit this weekend.Another prediction was added this morning for Kaindoh to PSU....3rd crystal ball of him flipping to us in the last 2 days. Very odd considering he has not visited in a while but seems to be a lot of momentum here.
This would be beyond huge and could help lock in a couple of other guys.
i realize that...but i think his last time on campus was back in Feb-March. Regardless, i'm not complaining!He's going to be here on an official visit this weekend.
Gunnie, what are you hearing?
You can officially put him on commit watch
Don't forget SpenceA win vs. MSU might seal the deal.
I think PSU will get a DT between Bolds, Conliff, or Wade-Perry. I also think we'll get another DB. Can you imagine adding Wade & Kaindoh? The only think missing is a top ILB.
Suppose this plays out. We're at 26 I believe right now. Where do we end up? Top 10?A win vs. MSU might seal the deal.

Don't forget Spence
@Raffycorn said in the other thread "Also, per Wiltfong, Spence is coming with Kaindoh this weekend."I believe it's been mentioned that Spence is not that high on the target list at the moment.
Multiple voices inside his echo-chamber head?Gunnie, what are you hearing?
Him and Simmons next year on 3rd down...omgAt PSU he doesn't have to be the savior of the team, he can be among a whole bunch of gifted players all driving each other to get better, learning from each other, and -- from what I see -- supporting each other like brothers. Plus, getting state of the art position coaching.

Uh......might just want to "delete" that post26?
PSU has 17 scholarships available if nobody leaves early. Who are the candidates to leave early?
There aren't many kids ready for the NFL and not many that would transfer due to limited playing time. IMO this class will be about 19. We currently have 14 verbals which leaves 5 more spots. In a perfect world we get Wade, Kaindoh, a DT, a LB, and 1 other.
- Nelson if he can't come back from injury
- Godwin, but I think he still has a lot to prove
- Gesicki? Sickels?
- Beh? Stevens?
Class rank of 26...26?

Regardless, it looks like the staff is expecting some kind of attrition with the number of prospects they are bringing in and the diversity of positions they are bringing in.
Class ranking does not matter. What matter most is chemistry and a pipeline of dominant players.
Yes this is really good to keep in mind.
Just because 4 stars and 5 stars are suddenly interested in you doesn't mean you have to offer them over players who are a better fit for your institution and your program.
I have seen this again and again -- a team experiences some success, all of a sudden they can get the highest rated players, they bring in a class of 4 stars and 5 stars and then the team underachieves and has no leadership. In the last 20 years I've seen it happen to Iowa, PSU, Michigan and others. Yeah, you need those 4 stars, but you maybe don't want a whole team of them.
He says that both Fries and Menet are starting this weekend.

Oracle seems to think 21DK knows something, notwithstanding that the Kaindoh CB had been posted here yesterday or the day before. It's not breaking news.He says that both Fries and Menet are starting this weekend.
Good points. Simple.Well, Kaindoh has got to be seeing how much fun the DL is having this year and what a great job the coaches are doing with these young players.
At PSU he doesn't have to be the savior of the team, he can be among a whole bunch of gifted players all driving each other to get better, learning from each other, and -- from what I see -- supporting each other like brothers. Plus, getting state of the art position coaching.
Obviously he's not solely focused on championships or TV visibility or he wouldn't have committed to Maryland -- and that is a credit to him. But that might lead him to take a second look at PSU. Yeah PSU is going to win a lot of games these next few years, but the experience could be a lot more than that -- the program has the feel of an extended family, and clearly the players just love playing for this staff.
The chances that kid ends up at Maryland are a function approaching zeroGood points. Simple.
1) looks like a great place to play. Good team chemistry.
On the upswing. Family of coaches.
2) three D lineman to NFL (proves we can get you to NFL)
and well coached line this year.
3) great degree
4) close to home
Maryland only checks box 4
Breaking the news in person is classyHeard Kaindoh was visiting MD with his entire family today.

4 new crystal balls won't change because of it.
Neal called, he says "extra starch".

Where he DOES end up? Who knows, but PSU is probably the most likely
