New portal entries

I believe Tate is a WR and a good one at that. He is going to command some serious $$$
I tried to double check the information on Tate and didn't see it, but he is easily first round NFL talent and I could see how he might not want to play second fiddle to Jeremiah Smith. On the other hand, Ohio state has about three other five star receivers, and as good as Tate is, he won't be missed that much at Ohio State if he is really leaving.
 
ND WR Deion Colzie
OSU CB Carnell Tate

Any PSU interest? Can we afford them?
Carnell Tate I believe was a starting WR for OSU. Very athletic. Probably only one year of eligibility. Doubtful portal to PSU given Julian Flemings experience.

I hate to say it, but I think Penn State would be really good for Tate if Penn State is willing to pay the big bucks. Tate would be far and away the number one receiver and would probably amass good statistics.

Hope so but how would Fleming's experience @ PSU affect his decision?

Doubt that it has any influence. However he would have to evaluate how good Fleming was playing and how good the PSU scheme is. Unfortunately for OSU, he would get more balls from Allar than he would from Sayin at OSU. Wouldn't be surprised if USC makes a push for him.

On OSU side, the 4th receiver, Innis is a five star, and has said that Ryan Day is the best coach in college football. Not like very good players won't be stepping in for Tate if he leaves.
 
not sure what Fleming has to do w/Tate? this would be great pick-up for Allar.
It would be a negative recruiting tool. Fleming came from a place where he was mildly productive and disappeared in our offense. Our WR development has not even been average. Could make things harder to recruit that position.

I don't think it's that easy. First you have to have the money. Second you don't want the other star players pi$$ed that their deal is low in comparison. Next thing you know they'll all be renegotiating and threatening to enter the spring portal.
There's always money--find it.
No star player should be livid about us getting the #1 WR they need to win a title.
If they want to leave then go but it's Franklin's job to manage that
We need a #1 to contend--if Tate is truly in the portal everyone needs to comprehend how important he is.

I would like to pay the money, but I just don’t think it will happen. I’m not convinced PSU will put out the necessary dollars to land Tate.

Good points, but Tate could put you over the top to win a natty. In my mind, worth at least 3 mil to PSU.
 
Didn't see them mentioned, but Spindler and Coogan, 2 of Notre Dame's starting OL entered the portal. Spindler (RG) got hurt vs us, but returned for the title game.

I doubt that Julian Fleming and his experience would have any impact on Tate. Fleming produced just what I expected him to produce both at Ohio State and at PSU. Tate was up close and personal with Fleming's experience at OSU.

Well if the price is right, it probably wouldn't matter to Tate.
Do you think PSU NIL affiliates can/will pay the amount he might want?
 
Guarantee Tate is better by quite a bit than any of the WR we picked up in the Portal. True Soph, a big yr next yr would put him in the draft, nonetheless the poss. of having him for 2 years is there I say go get him.
