Effects of sanctions by the numbers

Haven't seen this article posted so thought I would share. Nate Bauer walks through the scholarship, transfer, and recruiting numbers and how they have they have impacted talent, depth and experience (upperclassmen). Interesting comparison with Michigan for game next fall 2016. Have to be realistic folks as will be 2017 or more likely 2018 until we catch up to other programs. https://bwi.n.rivals.com/news/column-the-fault-in-their-stars

Recalling that the Nittany Lions will likely have only 24 total players with junior and senior eligibility, 72 stars split amongst them, only 19 of those players will have ever started a game at Penn State. Harbaugh’s Wolverines, meanwhile, will feature 38 juniors and seniors and nearly double the combined stars, totaling 136.

Can't be true!! No way!! Nothing happened here over the past 4 years!! We should be beating UM and OSU NOW!! Franklin is terrible..

Just kidding, had to get some of the haters blood pressure elevated

Facts and numbers just confuse people's argument that want to hate on the program! Hopefully I get to buy tickets to a nice warm bowl game next year, if not, then maybe the year after..

But, but, but, the sanctions are just an excuse...ask any Pitt fan or PSU troll.

Good summary by Nate.

CJF is doing a good job of re-filling the roster with talent and depth.

Talented players who want opportunities to play earlier are in great position. Now's the time for top recruits to join in the upswings.

Revamping the offensive scheme to a more potent attack under Coach Joe Moorehead and reloading the solid defense with studs will pay dividends for the program and the recruits.
