What I’d like to know is why did he leave UM considering that their two starters from this past season are leaving. Other than that, that’s good because that’s one position at which we need more bodies for next season.Penn State adds Michigan Transfer Defensive Tackle Owen Wafle

Maybe he could not stand the band playing that fight song non-stop.What I’d like to know is why did he leave UM considering that their two starters from this past season are leaving. Other than that, that’s good because that’s one position at which we need more bodies for next season.
Could be lots of reasons--too far from home, didn't like it there, they didn't find the NIL money he wanted...What I’d like to know is why did he leave UM considering that their two starters from this past season are leaving.

I know nothing about him, but I would have to assume that if a school like Michigan, which has a great tradition of d-linemen, recruited him, then he must have some ability.Could be lots of reasons--too far from home, didn't like it there, they didn't find the NIL money he wanted...
hell it could be as stupid as he has a girlfriend that he wants to be closer to--kids make crazy decisions
Or maybe he's not good--we'll find out. He's just depth though with Durant coming back
I was going to bring up the same thing. New Jersey kid, would be nice to keep some more of those guys from going elsewhere.Nice. Added bonus is his younger brother is a top NJ recruit for class 2026
Maybe he thought he'd get to know the plays the offense was running and realized it's harder to look good when his defense has to actually play by the rules.What I’d like to know is why did he leave UM considering that their two starters from this past season are leaving.

Thought I read that Michigan got 2 DTs via the portal.Could be lots of reasons--too far from home, didn't like it there, they didn't find the NIL money he wanted...

Perhaps younger bro told him he is Penn State bound🤷🏿♂️Nice. Added bonus is his younger brother is a top NJ recruit for class 2026
In before anybody else...
Can he gain separation from an OSU or ND corner?
Real funny, been on boards left and right......move on buttercup
The game has been over now for two days. Real funny, that has been on boards left and right......move on buttercupIn before anybody else...

To be fair, if we don't get WRs nothing else mattersThe game has been over now for two days. Real funny, that has been on boards left and right......move on buttercup

No crap, its been discussed since the last spring. We didn't have them, especially after KLS left for Auburn so whey does everyone act like it like breaking news for God's sake.To be fair, if we don't get WRs nothing else matters
It's not breaking news--it's simply the only thing that actually matters. This is a nice pickup but if they don't spend money on a WR it's futile. Like you said, it's been an issue since last year--it's Franklin's job to address it.No crap, its been discussed since the last spring.

The goal isn't to get to the final four--it's to win a titleDid it stop psu from getting to the final four?
We are winning 24-17 with 3:50 to go. If the defense forces a punt and we run the clock out we go to the National Championship without Wideouts. I agree 100% the need, however, unless we get some depth at DT and get some DE's you could have elite wideouts and be losing games 42-35.The goal isn't to get to the final four--it's to win a title
It, in part, prevents us from meeting comparable teams. 0-3 against top 5 teams--not one of those games was a road game.
We all know we need WRs--playing stupid isn't working here

Great pickup! lolYou keep extending the carrot. Two weeks ago you said it would be a success to get to he final four. If they won it all you would say they need to win two.
Ps. Did you count joes wins vs non top 5?
Comical how Franklin is adding players, literally, from every single position group except the one he actually needs 😂
You really don't think we need DT's? You are delusionalComical how Franklin is adding players, literally, from every single position group except the one he actually needs 😂
Neither one of the two receivers he added will actually start, or make any kind of difference. #47 and #72 ranked portal guys are bench players.He added two WRs first. Do you think wafle is a 5*? He is not even a starter.
We need wide receivers. When you regain your eye sight, please feel free to return to the board and then post. 😂You really don't think we need DT's? You are delusional
Thank you for the great advice....like I said, 3:50 away from the Championship game without them. If you ever put a jock on, please feel free to return to the board and then post LOLOLOLOLOLWe need wide receivers. When you regain your eye sight, please feel free to return to the board and then post. 😂
And I'm all for adding that depth. Happy with the add. The focus still is WR though for obvious reasons.We are winning 24-17 with 3:50 to go.

I agree 100% the need, however, unless we get some depth at DT and get some DE's you could have elite wideouts and be losing games 42-35.
The season was a success...the narrative on Franklin remains and his failure to get a top WR in the portal last can't be ignored. I didn't expect to win any of the games we lost. That's the problem.You keep extending the carrot. Two weeks ago you said it would be a success to get to he final four. If they won it all you would say they need to win two.
Did the lack of receivers stop you from expecting psu to win those games?

You either pay 2 million for a real wr, and fire Hagans, or you stink next year also.
He’s a freshmanHe added two WRs first. Do you think wafle is a 5*? He is not even a starter.
That’s worth it aloneNice. Added bonus is his younger brother is a top NJ recruit for class 2026
You said devontae Ross was a great pickup. Did you forget to take your meds and flip on your previous opinion?
We got Durant coming back today and this kid. Great day for the DT room today.We need depth at DT and Wafle was a four star who just finished his freshman year. Plus, his brother is a stud 2026 DE listed at 6’5” 240 so it’s a win win. It’s a great pickup and he has all four years left. The idea that we should ignore all other needs just to land a five star #1 WR is so naive. What 5 star WR is in the portal right now? None. We got two WRs, one a highly rated recruit that underperformed, and second that had great numbers in a lower school. That’s what in the portal.
Didn’t he add 2 WRs? You must have missed the memo.Comical how Franklin is adding players, literally, from every single position group except the one he actually needs 😂
What elite WR is in the portal? I’ll wait.The season was a success...the narrative on Franklin remains and his failure to get a top WR in the portal last can't be ignored. I didn't expect to win any of the games we lost. That's the problem.
I've told you countless times I'd have fired Joe if he wasn't willing to resign and that he had way too many bad years. Franklin has the advantage of the portal. He has to get an elite WR in the next 2 weeks. Period. No excuses. Call agents. Make it happen.
