Journey Brown

Adds muscle? Clearly you didn't see pictures of him setting the PIAA 100m record that Two-time World Record Holder Leroy Burrell set 35 years ago in 1985 while running for Penn Wood HS. The kid is completely jacked! Where you're getting that he needs to "add muscle" (i.e., implying he's small) is a complete mystery and entirely untrue.

I don't recall a player who came into the program who has not gotten stronger. I would expect the same here. I never used the word small.
Nor did I say he needs to add muscle. I mentioned development as in improvement. Perhaps you should slow down a bit and chill out.

he will add 15 lbs just in his thighs - skinny legs

It wasn't the PIAA 100m record. It was the PIAA championship meet record.

Wrong:

PSU football commit Journey Brown breaks Leroy Burrell’s 32-year-old PIAA 100m record, wins second straight state gold​

You can't teach speed.

The best teams have it. So does Journey Brown. So do we. Finally. It's good to be a Nittany Lion.

Brown sounds promising but there's more to it than speed. Some fast guys can't see the hole and make a timely cut, some lack power, Some don't stay low and fall backwards, some get tackled by the turf monster, etc. I'm optimistic about Brown but I'll wait and see what he does on the field before getting too excited.

Of all the RB's that turned out to be great, how many gained 700 yards in a single game? He's already shown more than most of the great RB's. He obviously can see the holes and has power. He obviously doesn't get tackled by the turf monster. He's not some middle of the road RB that hasn't shown his skills yet.

Sounds awesome. I'm sure most top schools and recruiting services also saw those numbers yet he was only rated 3* and didn't get a lot of power 5 offers. I hope we got a diamond in the rough and that academics aren't an issue. I'm optimistic about the kid but I'm not ready to put him on PSU's Mount Rushmore just yet.

I don't think anyone is ready to put him on PSU's Mount Rushmore, but he's done some things no other recruit has ever done. That has to count for something.

I can't think of a more under rated RB signed by State since my freshman year in 1963. With the road graders we are developing on the OL, this kid could be unstoppable. IMHO, we could have the best overall talent in the backfield in college sports. Our second string would be starters on most teams. Yes, the offensive scheme makes this talent better.

Guy is just a prospect. It's not like we recruited the number 1 RB in the country out of HS.

Of course there are some who say everyone of our recruits is underrated and OSU and Alabama are overated.

I don't expect him to win a Heisman, I am just hoping that he makes a solid contribution to the team, and gets a good education.

Stephfon Green was a productive player - in three years as a backup to the school's career rushing leader and one year as a backup to Silas Redd (!), Green had 1600 career rushing yards and 15 touchdowns - and averaged over 5 yards per carry. If we can get that kind of career production out of Journey Brown, I'll be satisfied and it will have been absolutely worth the scholarship.

The OP didn't say JB would make Nittany Nation merely "satisfied".
