Tarburton

 

[lionlurker]

Or as Spyker says, Tarb.

 

[Ian]

Tarburton is on the State commit list...

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[BobPSU92]

I take it we're happy about this?

 

[83wuzme]

Listed as an ILB, but appears big and physical enough to play either ILB or DE. Womder if we are going to a 3 - 4 ?

 

[NJPSU]

Another 4 star linebacker.

 

[BobPSU92]

Another 4 star linebacker.

I was joking, but I appreciate the reply as I wasn't quite sure of his star rating.

 

[Lion8286]

Huh?

 

[bkmtnittany1]

I take it we're happy about this?

Better than being OUTRAGED!!!! BTW....when you coming home from Germany?

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Doesn't he look like Dan Connor? I swear...that was my first impression.....Welcome kid!

 

[Chris92]

Or as Spyker says, Tarb.

You forgot to say it with cupped hands:

TARB

[PennState_one]

One word: BEAST

Here's to hoping his younger brothers follow suit...

 

[Obliviax]

Huh?

Looks like he is going to be at DE to me. I know he is being slated at LB but he's got a frame to handle 265 easily.

 

[artsandletters]

No

Listed as an ILB, but appears big and physical enough to play either ILB or DE. Womder if we are going to a 3 - 4 ?

No, but they are adding a fullback for short yardage situations.

 

[Lion8286]

Looks like he is going to be at DE to me. I know he is being slated at LB but he's got a frame to handle 265 easily.

So PSU changes it's defensive scheme because of a HS junior who verbally committed an hour ago? Doubtful.

 

[Ian]

They still need more box backers! He's an End.

 

[marshall23]

No

No, but they are adding a fullback for short yardage situations.

He can block.

 

[T J]

Or as Spyker says, Tarb.

Or as Spyker would post... TARB.

 

[21Guns]

Just smoking everyone so far. 11 commits, #1 with a bullet. Nearly doubling #2 Free Shoes U.

 

[21Guns]

Listed as Inside Linebacker, and wrote "LBU' on his twitter. He's a linebacker, and a great one at that.

Certainly he's gonna get bigger but, after watching his Hudl video, I really like him at MLB. He has a knack for finding the ball carrier and very good closing speed. I also like his height at that position. But, yeah, he's bound to put on 15-20 lbs. Maybe he can carry that weight and still move like he does now. That'd be really good.

Rivals as him rated very high, 5.9.

 

[21Guns]

This is precisely what I was talking about, when I say "Penn State Kid". This is the consummate Penn State kid. He's all about Penn State, which means he will be an asset for Penn State. THESE are our guys, and this staff is identifying them, and getting them, with sniper like accuracy.

Let Michigan and Ohio State bring the bag men, do the sleepovers, produce the propaganda films, hire the strippers and hookers, and win the hat games in January...

...We will win another Big Ten Championship with guys like this. OUR GUYS.

 

[artsandletters]

Watch his Hudl video.

 

[PSUcup1]

Kid is big. But man he can really move well and close on the ball carrier. Really hope he stays an an MLB

 

[TheGLOV]

Looks like he is going to be at DE to me. I know he is being slated at LB but he's got a frame to handle 265 easily.

Agreed!

His appetite is going to eat him right out of the LB position.

 

[TheGLOV]

He can block.

I'd like him as a FB as well.

Power "I" at the 3 yard line of Ohio St.

The give to the TB Sanders, FB leads the way,....Touchdown Penn State!! -Ray Scott voice

 

[21Guns]

Agreed!

His appetite is going to eat him right out of the LB position.

Alabama plays 255 pound linebackers during Saban's tenure. He'll be just fine.

 

[21Guns]

Mr Bowers returns this year. For the next three years he's our fullback/H Back leading the way. Tarburton is our future great MLB.

 

[canuckhal]

I heard Franklin and Pry did not know how to recruit linebackers.

 

[Lion8286]

I heard Franklin and Pry did not know how to recruit linebackers.

Was that before or after they didn't know how to recruit defensive tackles?

I sure hope so. For awhile last season one irrational, shortsighted, loudmouthed, disloyal, hypocritical blockhead predicted a 3-9 season for a team full of PSU guys. He even singled out certain players for criticism and then denied it. In his defense, he did identify the players by their numbers, not their actual names, making it difficult to figure out. Said those players did not belong on the field, yet there they all were, playing in the Rose Bowl. Hope to hell that doesn't happen again. Probably won't since the blockhard seems to have forgotten, or blocked out, all of the negative and nasty things he was saying about the PSU guys last season. Now he's all rah rah sis boom bah. What a fraud.
