Dylan River to flip to Virginia Tech

Just like last year, Franklin continues to recruit poorly into the homestretch.
That's ridiculous. Kj hamler, lamont wade, fred hansard, donovan johnson is hardly recruiting poorly. So rivers is going to vt because of his GF is Franklin's fault? It's actually a slap in the face from Rivers to pull this crap this late in the process instead of giving this staff more time to recruit another linebacker to take his spot

It's not premium, but he should check the recruiting thread before starting a new one.
It is premium information. It came from a VIP post on 247. Wiltong's tweet with Rivers picture (with no information in the tweet) also links to a VIP article.

Should probably revisit this post tomorrow when Castro Fields makes his announcement.....or remind you we recently flipped a Florida commit. Ohio State and Alabama have each had more decommits than PSU this year...it's reality for every program.

Rivers committed almost 14 months ago but has been 50/50 at best since summer for anyone that followed his situation closely.

Not losing any sleep over decommits this year. The staff and team have done everything conceivable to keep these guys in the fold whether that be winning on the field or upgrading facilities. In the case of Rivers, if he wants to stay in state and be close to his girlfriend, more power to him. It would have been nice to have more notice to work other targets but Faison Walden and Brailyn Franklin are every bit as legit at OLB as Rivers would be.

But there are only two of them and there is no way they can be redshirted now. Can't even have a two deep without green lighting one of them.
 
Wonder if there's any potential for a grad transfer LB. Would the learning curve be too steep to pick up the PSU system in time to contribute ?
 
I think if we can get TCF tomorrow, spirits improve. So late in the game right now, might be time for plan B at linebacker.

Traditionally, legacies have been either boom or bust, especially walk on legacies, but I DO like this Chizmar kid. I just didn't think he'd walk right on to the three deep, instantly, HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Frankly, after the staff's first try, I cannot see how they could possibly screw it up worse, so yeah, why not?
 
lol at everyone who ripped into a guy on here who called this like 3 months ago in the recruiting thread

Most grad transfers are kids who didn't or aren't going to play very much at their original school. There is usually a reason for that and it ain't very good.

even suggesting the idea of losing sleep over high school kids picking what school theyre going to is sad lol

I think the best course of action is full panic mode. There is no way:eek::oops::confused::mad: Franklin had any idea this was coming. Talk about blindsided. I think the fact that he is a winning coach cannot compensate for his inability to recruit. He is clearly on the hot seat.
 
When the rest of you stop polluting the recruiting threads with bickering and other nonsense, then you can complain about keeping recruiting info only on these threads.

OK.. Maybe we should stop polluting a Penn State board by starting threads about hits by NFL players like that Steeler player Dupre??

What connection does Dupre have to Penn State??

Hmm, who starts threads like that??

Glass houses, Dan. . . Glass houses.
 
Why would an occasional visitor want to go through 108 pages of recruiting posts? I'm on here all the time and don't do go though that.
Thanks pualyb141 for this info and for the fact that you didn't add it to the novel known as the recruiting class thread.

Your welcome! I felt this was a MAJOR development and needed a thread of its own. There is to much fluff on the recruiting thread to decipher!
 
If Tom or the mods had any integrity, they would delete this thread.

Cry us a river.

If you had integrity you would stay on the premium board and not try and play policeman, which you are not.
