Do we have ANY chance with him at all? He is tough, quick, and fairly good sized. He had an awesome, slightly injured, senior season, on top of his prior work at St. Joe's in Philadelphia. He looks like the best high school football player in PA. I haven't seen enough of him, but what I've seen reminds me of a PSU icon: Aaron Harris. Whether I'm right or wrong, no one should be in the same sentence as Aaron Harris unless he is up to the comparison! AH is my favorite PSU offensive paler ever!
D'Andre Swift (please no snarky, idiotic responses):
- Thread starter 19333lion
- Start date

Not as big as Harris but quicker. Would say it's a long shot at this point to get him but with JF you never count him out
IMHO, Swift does not want to compete with the running backs we have in house next year. Said we are "loaded" at running back.
PS D'Andre, you will have to compete at any quality power five program for playing time. And yes that applies to UGA next year.

Your comments are worthless and contribute absolutely nothing to the conversation. Why don't you grow up and not read the thread if it upsets you.
Gas pains? Toothache?
Headinass syndrome
Not a snarky response but I really think we should go after another linebacker. Swift is coming back for a visit and who knows, maybe, but either way, I want another linebacker.
We need a linebacker that is ready to contribute right away.I wonder if there are any juco linebackers on the radar.

Probably not but there is this guy named Sanders who is supposed to be pretty good...
Man, if only there was another RB Penn State had. Like a freshman from the Pittsburgh area. Oh I guess I'm just imagining again.
Depends if Swift wants to compete for playing time. He will have to compete at UGA or Penn State or Clemson.

Both would have had a chance a few months ago. Would have been nice pick-ups talent-wise.
But now it's a numbers game. Probably less about psu having a chance than balancing need and space on the roster. If there's room, who wouldn't want them?
Better question is probably our chances next year with Slade.

Still think if there is a Juco out there who Franklin and the staff is high on, we should go out and get him. Haven't looked into it right now so not sure if there is one. It would help if Jan Johnson can come back, or if Toney is negotiable for a move. I think he will be up around 220 next year with the off season iron lion weights.
I doubt that Swift is afraid of competition. He is really, really good. Any program would be thrilled to have him. I don't think he flips from UGA, but we would definitely find room for him. He is every bit the runner that Barkley is. Barkley is great at pass pro and as a receiver -- not sure that Swift measures up there, at least not at this point. I like people using the baseball analogy for Barkley as a five-tool guy -- it is definitely true. Three-Down back at the next level.
Correct. That's one of the two left on the checklist, after that, it's all gravy.
Swift is a better receiver than Barkley. Have you ever watched at the camps? He could be an excellent slot receiver if he was given the opportunity.
