Bat Signal out early this morning....

This is how you reload. In the old days, this CB spot would have been filled by a 2 star teammate of some 4 star prospect from Virginia or New Jersey who would ultimately end up at Florida or Notre Dame. That doesn't happen anymore.
 
They don't even put up an effort to go after highly rated recruits. I think PN has resigned himself to bargain shopping and picking up kids that get disappointed when their top schools tell them there is no room days before NSD. Is there a single top 200 recruit that currently names SPitt as his dream school?

Yeah, I think it's rather telling. They aren't even trying, in most cases, if the kid isn't from the WPIAL. They used to nab some kids from the Philly area when Wanny was around, and even before that, but they appear to have given up on them for some reason. Narduzzi has to know that if he can't recruit in-state, then his job is 1000 times harder. Chryst didn't have to match up against JF and crew, and had it much easier.
 
Pitt lurkers: how is Narduzzi's 2018 class coming? It going to hurt when the only PA top 10 prospect Pitt has a shot at commits to PSU.
The pitters currently have one recruit -- they beat out Rhode Island and Brown to get him. We have 12 and are ranked in the top 2 nationally. The pitt football program is effectively dead. No attendance. No recruits. A humorless, arrogant, angry a$$hole for a coach. No campus. No fan base. The program is dead.

If a tree falls in a forest and there is nobody there to hear it, is it dead?
 
When was the last time Penn State was able to go into and pull a great prospect out of Texas? Mighty impressive stuff Coach Franklin is doing!

Last one I can remember is D'Anton Lynn. I forget if he had any PA/PSU connections before committing!? I see he is now a defensive assistant for the Chargers.
 
The other day, someone started a thread on the Lair proudly proclaiming a SPitt victory over PSU in lacrosse. Someone had to politely interject that Pitt only plays club....the thread vanished.

honeslty, this may be the greatest post Ive ever read on here ... effing hilarious!

IIRC .... Lynn's dad Anthony was close with Brian Norwood (I think) , and that led him to PSU.
 
I think they also won the Club Parcheesi National Championship that year......
Between club Parcheesi and Lacrosse they should really move up from their #78 spot (tied with Rutgers) in the Learfield Directors' Cup standings. PSU is currently #4 behind Standford, Wisconsin and scUM which should change after they add MHockey.
 
No. It has to be bodily fluids.
What about "download" was I unclear about?

Penn State has officially gone National, in recruiting, for the first time in it's history.
IDK, look up the 2000 roster. We had recruited players from Cali, Washington, TN, Illinois, NC, Michigan, Mass, Ohio, WV plus the usual assortment from PA, MD and NJ.

You aren't talking about the 2000 recruiting class are you?
