We did but we respect his second decision more. Manny Diaz is probably not as respectful of it.

Did one former player's unexpected and abrupt departure play a role in flipping a recruit to take advantage of that opening?
Happy Valley Insider - Penn State flips Duke linebacker commit Cameron Smith
Penn State has added another commitment to their 2025 recruiting cycle in St. Joe's Prep LB target Cameron Smith.
No they started upping their pursuit of Smith once they lost McClary to Rutgers.

No. Psu had been trying to flip smith before keys left.
Doesn't he get his key guys via portal? Nevertheless, if he doesn't improve over the next 2-3 years he gone.
He's listed as an athlete and I also wonder at 6'0" if he is better suited for safety. Don't know how fast he is.
The portal works well to plug holes, but I am doubtful it can be used to build an entire team, especially for a program like CU. Sanders may be having difficulty convincing recruits or their families that he is loyal and will commit the time to develop a young athlete when he has a history of cutting most of the squad the previous year.
I think he just disagrees that you cany build a team from the portal. I agree with your take but I believe Sanders would rather wait and see who works out then try to take them. Not saying it's smart just how I think his mind works.
Sanders is also at Colorado. Has anyone won there recently using any plan? How did your plan work for the previous coach? Sanders has a different approach. He is going big on the portal. He had zero at home recruit visits since he has been there.
This. They are cashing in. That is all. He'll show the same loyalty to Colorado that he did to the last school that he left and took any good players with him.
I had forgotten that we had lost McClary, but wasn't he more of an ILB?
McClary is likely either a WILL or a MIKE at the next level, it really depends on his speed. He actually has similar measurable to Smith, listed at 6-2 / 205, slightly taller and a few pounds heavier, but he has instincts to drop back in coverage if necessary.
Is 6 foot even too short for LB? Maybe okay for PSU but something tells me these picky NFL scouts won't like that. I guess if he is a total stud for us at LB then they will overlook it.
He is 6' 0.5" which makes him taller than Mike hull and Aaron Collins. What the NFL is looking for is irrelevant.
Okay. Not trying to be argumentative just he and his family may consider an NFL career as a viable career path if there is an opportunity. And with that said he will want to make himself as attractive as possible to those employers. I doubt this has not come up before throughout the recruiting process. But what do I know, I'm just some guy on a message board throwing out an opinion not a football talent evaluator of college or NFL players. Nevertheless, there is plenty of time before those decisions need to be made.
