Do you think he will still visit in May?What was the PSU interest in him?
Alabama adds Rico Scott, 4-star WR from Pennsylvania to class of 2024

Offer, but not sure where he was on our board. I played football in the backyard with his dad Marky when we were kids. His dad was 3 years younger I think and very fast for the neighborhood. His dad did not have D1 size or skills.What was the PSU interest in him?

if a player from McDevitt isn't on our board, but Alabama wants them, we are not good at this
Lots of highly rated players flame out at Alabama. Don't kid yourself. Many make it to the NFL but that is because they've pulled the top recruiting classes for over a decade.
100%. In an era where detailed information and game film on prospects from across the country is readily available, identifying a prospect that is being recruited by other major P5 schools is the recruiting equivalent of tying your shoes. I suspect the kid just wasn't interested - it happens.
I'm confused. You agree with the guy that said we're aren't good at recruiting, BUT, you suspect that said recruit just wasn't interested in PSU. Do we suck or not?
It takes two interested parties to make a deal. If the kid had his heart set on Bama....
That's not how I read his post. He didn't say that we weren't good at recruiting, only that if we didn't have a guy in PA good enough to get an offer from 'Bama on our board (he was, and we offered), then we weren't good at it. Since that clearly wasn't true, neither of us was saying we "suck" at recruiting. Identifying talent worthy of recruiting when you're not in finding diamonds in the rough mode is not difficult. My final comment is my SWAG that the kid wasn't that interested in PSU or had others, Alabama in particular, higher on his list. That's based, in part, on personally knowing two kids from my hometown who were excellent prospects that had limited or no interest in PSU.
why in the world would we stop recruiting McDevitt? It is historically one of the better programs in the state, it is in Harrisburg, and multiple NFL players have come out of there. not recruiting there would be one of the dumbest possible things penn state could do
Maybe he was very interested but ranked #5-6 on the “take” chart or concerned about WR depth and his role at PSU? Quite possibly he didn’t have a green light to verbal. Sounds like he was pretty interested. I’m sure that JF saw him enough to have him properly ranked on the recruiting depth chart. Seems like he was pretty interested in PSU.

To be clear, you're trying to say that a kid Bama accepted a commitment from didn't have a commitable offer from Penn State? He was also more concerned about our depth at WR than Bama's? Making sure I'm reading this rightMaybe he was very interested but ranked #5-6 on the “take” chart or concerned about WR depth and his role at PSU?

Penn State in top six for 2024 Pennsylvania WR
Penn State favored to land this 2024 in-state wide receiver
i think the concern isn't that he picked Alabama, it is that it's not so clear that Penn State was trying really hard to recruit a player in Harrisburg who is good enough to play for Alabama
I view it the same way as Scott. How do you know if he's a good QB when he throws to WRs that are open by 10 yards and he has 10 seconds in a clean pocket to do it?
Stone has offers, just not PSU. I don't think PSU is interested. Other schools that don't know McDevitt is playing 2 classes below where they should have offered.
I get your point. But so far we only know that he was good enough to be recruited by Alabama.
And maybe Alabama could be wrong and Penn State right about Scott.
Bama may be wrong but there's no indication that we didn't want him In fact...
There is a back story on this. Looks like there was a locker room abuse incident at his school.
Yeah, like we had any measurable interest in Pilof. He committed to Rutgers because it was his best commitable offer. We needed Pilof like we needed a 5'6", 220 lb. nose tackle.
That is exactly correct. Lindsey is good but we like about 6 or 7 better including the 2 committed already to us. Narduzzi would love to get anything decent in the WPIAL. PSU, OSU, UM, ND, and The SEC have 1st shots at the top 10 or so PA players. Pitt gets what they don't want.
Was set to verbal to UWI in January, then this broke. Make your own conclusions. Internet talk says he was involved in some way.
