Can we look at this from the standpoint of 'status'...
- Thread starter Cosmos
- Start date
Players go to class and stay out of trouble.What do we have in the football program that works? Thank you.
See, I kind of more or less agree with this.
The quiet dismissal of that punk - Antonio Shelton - is a perfect example.
Guy was a cancer.....and quietly got sent to the portal.
That's the right way.
agree with all of that and the yard line markers are really laid out straight.
Their recruits have been ranked primarily in the 12-15 range on average. Throw out 2014 (first yr) and 2018 (ranked as high as #5) and that’s pretty much what you see on the field. A few breaks, top ten, and few none breaks, a top 25 team. It’s an illusion that they are these great recruiters. Don’t buy the hype. That’s why Franklin wants more spent to upgrade facilities so he can be a much better recruiter. He knows they aren’t getting the great ones.
Need consistency in recruiting. You see on average we are about where we should be. This class coming in needs to be the norm not the exception, at least it would go a long way in correcting our trajectory.
Ian, I saw that same information from another poster.
It surprised me.
I'm not sure better facilities (how much better can they be?) are what entice a highly ranked recruit.
If I were Franklin, I'd go all in on getting the boosters to fund NIL money.
Now, of course, that means that we are OK with essentially a minor league (are we there already) for college football.
Pretty much everything other than the OL is an A or B grade. The OL gets an F in run blocking. That was the difference in just about every loss this season (and the past several seasons). Oh, and an A+ QB (like if Allar lives up to the hype) would be nice.
That's it. A few road graders with a mean streak instead of the pantywaists playing OL now, and this would have been a 1-2 loss season at worst. That plus a superstar QB = championships.

Can we reach out to this guy to take over OL duties?
Quoted about a decade ago but the context is the same---He was thrilled by saying "I'm back to my first love, the Oakland Raiders and working with the Offensive Line. I’m a Raider for life. I can help in technique, help in mindset and attitude and really push these young men to develop and to be the heartbeat of the team." Wisniewski said via the Raiders website. He also said in a statement that "I’m thrilled to be working in the building again for the Silver and Black and helping to shape the future of the offensive line."
Insert PSU for Raiders and Blue and White for silver and black. Would he have any interest?? hes only 54
I don't think the RBs should be graded highly. While much of their lack of production can be attributed to poor OL blocking, they dropped some passes, missed some blocks and fumbled the ball enough to drop them below those grades IMO.
A LOT
they don't even make the top 25 in most of the rankings i've seen. look up some articles about clemson/bama if you want to understand how underwhelming PSU's current setup is.
