you had me at move Wallace inside.
Fashanu, tengwall, Scruggs, wallace, portal RT would be a big upgrade IMO
Why would any offensive lineman want to come Psu we have no one to coach them up
I wonder if there’s a kid out there who will just tell the head coach that he’s committing to their program and that’s that. Or just tweet that he’s going to (insert name) program .
Maybe the QB who said he was transferring to UCLA, only to change his mind and now going to OU when Williams looking around. If Williams decides to stay, guess he will be looking for a new school.

Stars aren't everything... but their average stars each year for commits:
2020 0.74
2021 0
2020 0

Please let this end and fire this head coach. Enough. The last kid was a soft pudgy turnstile and the one before that was a blimp who was only taken because of his Dad. Enough. Hire a real coach who can attract real o line talent at the d1 level
And don't forget the Stanford graduate transfer a few years earlier that didn't do squat.
If he performs like Wilson, I will pass. If this season tell you anything, the jump to the OL at a B10 school is huge when you are coming from an Ivy school, (or a JUCO).
OK, apply that same metric to high school recruits. We took in 23 kids, probably 26. How many will be starters? Probably about one in every three.
