First baby Saquon. Now..

Is this something Franklin isn't happy about? If memories serves me right, Silas Redd had a kid while on the team, cant really recall anyone else.
 
What the heck are these kids thinking? There is plenty of time to take on adult responsibilities when older.

Silas didn't have the kid here. He had him/her after he went to USC. Devon Still had Leah while he was at PSU, I think.

I know that Devon Still and Novorro Bowman both had kids while at Penn State, too.
 
In all seriousness, somebody needs to really let these guys know how expensive the whole kids thing is......

They're expensive for sure, but also exhausting! He's in good shape though so hopefully won't be a problem. Congrats to him and his family! Always a blessing to have a happy healthy baby.
 
Well girls probably throwing themselves at football players so this is nothing new. Couple drinks at a party and then safe protected sex usually goes out the window.

Lamar Stewart? Not sure but I seem to remember Joe saying Lamar had to be more concerned with family matters when he was released.
 
I hope you don't think this hasn't happened at Penn State before this.
I think he understands that, as does most everybody here. I wish any player who has a child while still in college well. Nonetheless, you have to admit that it will be difficult. The player will be in school and playing football (either of which are very demanding, much less both) and the mother will (in all likelihood) be back home or in school herself. Were you capable of being a good father at age 19 or 20, and still in school? I know I sure wasn’t. Not even close. Hopefully both parents have a solid family support structure to lean on. They will need it.

They are thinking they would like to have sex with all the many willing participants in college. It’s no more complicated than that.

To be fair, this just as easily could've happened to me plenty of times at Penn State, and I was nobody, nor will I go down in history as one of Penn State's great 'players.' There's also a chance these are long-term girlfriends they love and will marry, not sure why we assume its the result of whoring around.

I give these guys a lot of credit for taking responsibility for their actions, having the child, and appearing to want to be there in an active role. Good for them.
 
I hear the uneasiness in the responses. Understood. On the other hand, maybe this will motivate Wade to get his degree and play even harder.

As a father of four (three daughters), I’m not sure what to think but hey there’s different journeys for everyone. I wish him well.
 
Having children out of wedlock has become a very common thing. I hope Lamont and Saquan are ready for fatherhood. I also hope they soon get married to the babies mother. Parenting isn't easy and never ending.

I have seen this journey taken by many before and it wasn't pretty.

Well according to the Instagram posts, they were together for about 5 months before she got pregnant. Hopefully they built a strong enough foundation to manage the situation for the best of the child, and maybe they really will be together forever and happy?

Wbcincy this is just the beginning, I will give them credit in time.
 
We hear all the recruits talk about the family atmosphere.

Franklin to these players:
