Not sure if anyone posted on this yet. Did anyone else catch Sanders talking about Parsons yesterday? He says about 3 times that Parsons looks like one of the best linebackers PSU has right now. Not sure if this is good news or bad news, ha.
Sanders on Parsons....
- Thread starter bono47
- Start date
I understood it to confirm that Parsons is probably on the 2nd team and will play. John Reid talked up Sanders a bit in his interview. I enjoyed that one as well.
It's good news. We recruited him because he was a beast, right? So, we should expect him to be a beast.
Why do I get the feeling that Miles is just going to have a HUUUUGGGEEE year?
I'll tell you why? He's talented and he's chomping at the bit. It think he's worked very hard and hasn't complained about playing time to any extraordinary degree. I think we're going to see a thoroughbred unleashed in Miles Sanders this season. He's going to have a phenomenal year. I feel it in my bones.

Agreed. I meant that jokingly, as in either:
A. A true freshmen looks better or as good as our projected, older starters. (A bad thing); or
B. He is simply an animal and will be a factor. (A good thing)

Actually, he's one of those LB's that don't come around every year or 10 years is what it is starting to sound like. He'll make some mistakes as a young guy but his athleticism and strength at LB will be off the charts....tough pill to swallow I guess for some.
Yeah, that's my take, but I hope he has a little smoother learning curve than Lavar did. Fewer mistakes and a little less freestyling. He's got to play though.
I think your right , more pitch outs and designed runs, vs mesh point options, and least (imo) a different scheme than the one they used with Saquon.
And let's not (not saying you are) compare him to Saquon. Saquon is Saquon. Miles is going to be a great back, I believe, in his own right. Just a different kind of back. Most backs are different anyway. I think so because he's very talented, would've started the last 2 seasons at most schools, but just kept at it even though it must have hurt to watch from the sidelines sometimes. This shows character to me. He'll be ready and he's going to be very, very good.
Lavar was a 6'4 225 specimen (my observation -- pretty involved in weight training -- was the numbers were about right and that he added 20 pounds during his time here was a comfortable increase which didn't sacrifice too much lateral mobility or downfield speed).
parsons is listed at 6'3 237. Again, those numbers seem close to reality and he certainly appears to have the frame to go to 255... i'd rather he stayed in the 40's.. but whatever the coaches do, i'm pretty sure it will be the right thing. Kid is a stud,
Barkley>Lynch.....for comparison....hopefully Parsons is the defensive version of SaSa
It was reported on a psu site by a writer that doesn’t throw praise that Parsons might not only be the best linebacker on the team but the best player.
He followed that up yesterday after watching 3 plays with a sheesh is this kid good
I don’t think lb will be an issue this year. In fact, it will be better than last year
