I heard from a good source that he already committed to the Bucknuts. I believe this is the result of hiring Corley as the receivers coach. This was a monumental mistake by Franklin. Fleming really likes Brian Hartline. I can't believe we cannot sign the best players in our own state.

Most know this already. Micah Parson says hello. When you actually start to follow the sport you'll realize that nobody signs everyone they want even in their own state. OSU lost the best player in Ohio to Clemson last year.

Sorry lbujoe33. Many of us are having a hard time getting excited about this on May 28...
gunsie and Bushwood - just not the same without those guys. The McAndrew Board's Shakespeare and Milton. Epic losses.
You have no idea why he may (most likely is) choosing OSU. Yes he may really like Hartline, but he could also just feel like he wants to get further away from home and not have 10+ Southern Columbia grads at PSU with him. Maybe he doesn't want to bump into his ex girlfriend. Maybe he wants a more of a city type atmosphere.
The fact of the matter is we were in there battling for the kid. He isn't the first top PA recruit that PSU didn't get and he won't be the last. If I had a choice I would have wanted the Breesee kid over Fleming based on their potential impact. Both of those kids could be outstanding both could be flops. Maybe Fields just absolutely sucks as a college QB and OSU struggles to get Fleming the ball.
Would you rather win the BIG and get into the MNC without him, or not win the BIG with him? Fact is we don't know how things will play out. So I'm not going to stay up nights worrying about where he goes to College.

Most of us also know we have recruiting threads where this old news has already been posted and discussed.
And every top school in every one of the 50 states HAS NEVER and WILL NEVER get every top recruit from their own state.
I was just thinking what this board needs is another Julian Fleming thread and “presto!” a troll appears. Hmm... now I am thinking I would like a massage from a topless, super model. Fingers crossed....
Bullshit. Fleming has spent more than enough time at PSU to know what the program is all about. How do you know he doesn't like the hot dogs on the training table? Good luck to Julian and the sun will come up tomorrow.
I hate fanboys who worship 5 star high school kids.
Franklin serves ketchup with hot dogs on the training table. Huge recruiting mistake. Huge.
Franklin serves Texas Tommies and I hear that Fleming has a preference for a Hungarian hot dog with stadium mustard, very popular in Ohio.
Don’t really care we have plenty of great receivers on this team right now
Hartline was the only coach at Fleming’s track meet the other week so there’s really no suspense here on where he’s going. I wonder whatever happened to Mark Webb? Haven’t heard his name called with the GA bulldogs. He was another PA receiver who the staff went to the mat for and he spurned them
With this staff, they are going to find quality guys at WR, who would ever think Dunmore was going to to comitt to the good guys last year. We are high with some great prospects from FL, go Seider!
He got moved to DB no sooner than he arrived on campus
If that's true I'm sure that going forward Franklin will vet any future hires with the top recruit in PA first. 
Would have been great to add Fleming. However, we do have a 5 star who is taller, and just as fast 4.52 verified in hs...........only 8 months older than Julian and about to enter his second season with The Nittany Lions.
Penn state will be fine without getting Fleming. We do have some good receivers so not all is lost without getting Fleming.
Agreed. People act like he would be on the field and dominant next season. I wonder. We've got some pretty good depth.
Hello Justin Shorter, 6’4”, 230 lbs, 5* WR, ready to dominate.
Word on the street is that Shorter always looked up to Fleming while growing up.
ibujoe is not up on current events but I fail to understand why you think we stand a better chance to win a MNC without Fleming?
Actually that’s not what the man said, but what the hell there’s no rhyme or reason to adults pining over recruits anyway.
We will survive without Fleming. We have recruited extremely well at the position and will continue to do so.
The good news about his verbal commitment this week is that it will end the drama of watching this one play out in the newspapers and on the message boards. I’m guessing the kid didn’t want it that way, so props to him for making his decision early and allowing everyone to focus on the big picture and not a prolonged, drama filled recruitment, as many top recruits choose to do.
You have lbu and joe in your name, but you complain about Franklin not getting the best players in PA????? You obviously don’t know anything about Joe in his later years.
I am remember when the Ismail brothers both picked different schools .I believe we knocked of Notre Dame when Rocket was on the team in 1990
