If we eliminate Henne and all the crying about the past recruiting "losses" and come back to reality, who is it???
 
He said commitment - does that mean a silent verbal or could it be something else - like an extension or financial resources. Words were carefully chosen.

Yep, CJF is a master at choosing his words carefully so it could be something else. But the question he responded to was the impact on recruiting the current win streak is having ....

And I fully expect a We are better" tweet on Monday!

Would love for it to be Tangwell or Rucci. Even then, unless a 2020 recruit no use in getting too excited given the nature of very early commitments these days. So, no vote.

In the back of my mind (and I don't care enough to go looking for the details), I think there is some NCAA rule about coaches not being able to talk about recruits until signing day???? Plus, it hasn't been CJF's history to publically talk about recruits/commitments before they announce. This doesn't seem to me that he is talking about a player, he may be referencing a commitment to facilities, etc. We'll see.
Note: I did not hear or his exact words, so I am just going this post and thread.

The master himself is at it again. JFF is so used to doing things a certain way that he would never deviate away from the "We Are Better" tweet.

The last time he did something similar to this the news was Bob Shoop deciding he was going to stay at PSU.

So I am saying this is something along the lines of an extension for him or as someone may have mentioned, finals plans on facility upgrades.

He tweets 'we are better' literally every time we get a verbal
 
TIC (sort of):
Maybe the Chase Young issue has caused a certain 5 star Pa. receiver to rethink his choice.

What no Fleming... Heard his check for his vacation flight may have recently fallen through :)

He wouldn't go to Ohio State because he might miss a couple of games if his family gets paid to go to a bowl game? I don't think that will scare him off.
 
I recall drinking Tang as a kid so I'm hoping it's the big tackle in the 2021 class.
Top possible recruit is coach himself, I don't think he would tease with a player recruit. Signs multi year contract extension. Timing is right.
 
For Christ’s sake, enough about our coach’s utterance!
