We are.....better!
Emmert or Delany passed away?
Freeh hit another tree?
Barron choked to death at a buffet?
Sorry, my goof. It’s a “We are.....better!”
Not a “We are.....way way way better!”

It's not Frank's.Thinking OL first...JUCO or Franks...but maybe a surprise DL.
Penn State would be the 3rd school he's committed to in 4 months.
He was an Indiana commit before that. Have to trust the staff but I’m a little underwhelmed. Was hoping the last WR spot would go to a blue chip like David Bell. Kid seems like a serial commiter.
See the concern and it's legit....but he more than held his own at the Opening. JF does know how to recruit....PSU > UNC >IU....so we'll see.
Closer to the 6-1. Ran very well at the opening...speed and routes.
He probably outplayed Dunmore at The Opening, ran a 4.47 and has a 40 inch vertical. He has one of the best SPARQ scores of any WR in the country.
He wasn’t on the radar, but I’m sure glad we have him.

Tape of the Opening has him looking around 6'1". Nice compliment to Dunmore. Wonder if WR is full up for 2019 with the two........
Not sure, but 2 WR's from the Opening is a good class IMO. Dunmore is legit and Simmons if this is legit is a good close out there. Let's not forget last years haul of Shorter, George, Hamlin, and Dotson. James is recruiting some freaky athletes.
Franklin has stated many times that he tries to talk them out of it when they want to commit. He tells them they cannot take anymore visits. I feel When a kid commits to the good guys, it’s a solid commitment
If Porter ends up in the class, it’ll be as a DB, not a WR.
I think there was probably a WR spot available and an athlete spot. If Simmons took the WR spot than Porter could come in as an athlete. As a DB they seem to have had a lot of players higher on their board- Wilson, Hellams, Kelly, Cine etc... Not even sure they would take Porter as an athlete now before they know what Bell and Cine might do.
Will you leave the damn tree's out of this?
I am one proud tree-hugging American and I resent any prior implication involving tree's sir!
I agree. If space becomes available for Porter, it likely wouldn’t be until shortly before the February signing day and might be dependent on how the 85 man roster shakes out after the season. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up finding room for him in the class by the time it’s all said and done, though.
Does the kid have a dream school who hasn't offered? Is there a playoff team that he's working his way up the ladder for?
Regardless, how can anyone fault a kid for flipping his commitment when he's got multiple coaches telling them how "this is the place for you!"?
Who knows....one thing is Franklin tells kids no more visits. So either he is in or out....we'll find out this fall I guess if he is taking another visit.
HamLER was the year before, but it does look like there is a great crew of WR's coming along. Hippenhopper and Sullivan-Brown as well.
We have been spoiled to have some very productive bigger WR's in Godwin, JJ, .... , but CJF is out there just looking for playmakers.
Yeah my bad on Hamler. For some reason I always group him in with the 2018 guys, maybe the injury. We’ll know soon enough if they are taking a 3rd WR.
E Simmons is a baller! Glad he’s with us and ‘saw the good light.’
This is funny and I enjoy your posts, but it is a little harsh to lump Barron in with what I think are really bad people. For Ed Ray, Fina, Corbett, some BoT folks, our girlfriend Lou Anna, have at it.
While Barron has perhaps disappointed some, in my book he is nowhere near the level of those others.
Love the dog pics, BTW.
Barron is the "front office" man for the folks you listed, just as Erickson -get his name off OUR creamery - was. When you knowingly, for a sum of $, operate under folks like this doesn't that qualify you to be grouped with them?This is funny and I enjoy your posts, but it is a little harsh to lump Barron in with what I think are really bad people.

Barron is part of the continued protection and "cover up" that was crafted to protect members of the OGBOT. He accepts a humongous amount of money for "not rocking the boat." If he is an honest gent, then he should endorse releasing the Freeh Documents and the A9 report.This is funny and I enjoy your posts, but it is a little harsh to lump Barron in with what I think are really bad people.

Oh, I would like for him to do things differently than he has. I wish he was more aggressive and assertive. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but certainly publicly I would like for him to do more to defend the university and to challenge people and beliefs.
I just don't think he belongs on the list with Emmert et al. Those people were malicious, holier than thou, vindictive, etc. Some were all of those things. I don't think Barron is any of those.
I agree. I think it is way cool that the staff is so organized in recruiting. Their ability to identify talent early (that comment may not apply in Simmons' case) is amazing. The wave of offers that recruits receive from others after PSU offers is affirmation.
