As the late Penn State offers emerge from the mists, it's pretty clear that the coaches are determined to get as close to the twenty-five maximum number as they can. It's reasonable to expect that a number of the recipients are going to sign with somebody else--this is really late in the game for new recruits to feel all warm and fuzzy about Penn State. However, late offers are worth a shot, because one or two or three recruits might be intrigued enough to visit Happy Valley, and then all bets are off.
I'm simply going to assume, based on what I've seen from Franklin and the other coaches thus far, that they are only going to offer recruits that they believe have a realistic chance of actually playing and contributing. And I'm also going to assume that whoever they offer has a realistic chance of having academic success at Penn State. So, simply, I'm trusting the coaches to evaluate recruits as well as they can, and do what they think is the right thing for both the program and the potential student-athletes. And I hope most of you agree with me.
