Shorter in the portal
- Thread starter NittanyOpp
- Start date
I hear the reason for Coach K's success at Duke is his recipe for ice. He has actually found the key to rebounding.....block out, gain inside position and jump up to get the ball. Brilliant coaching!
If Pat/KJ leave, the skill positions could be brutal. Not much experience in there.
WR: Dotson, George, Jones/Dunmore (?)
TE: Kuntz or Strange (?)

I wonder how many guys who post here, married the most beautiful girl they ever dated? I'm sure we don't want to tabulate that "success" rate.That worked out well too...
You can't teach 6'4" but in the same vain, we can't provide heart transplants.
And what did they all have in common? They couldn’t catch a cold!
Always remember, no matter how good they look, someone, somewhere is tired of putting up with their shit!
WR: Dotson, George, Dunmore, Jones, Washington, Lambert, and the portal goes both ways so I am sure we could take a chane on someone out there as well.
TE: Bowers (I bet he applies for a 6th year the way JFF gushed over him today), Kuntz (will be a monster), Strange, Theo.
This week is about being 1-0 in the Rutgers season. We can discuss Shorter's transfer to the 400m hurdles during the bowl game wait.
probably should shy away from click on the "Shorter in the Portal" thread....
A wise man told me about 55 years ago....before you even think about getting serious with a girl, get to know her mother.
Shorter had a ton of potential coming out of high school but he has done nothing on the field thus far to make me lose sleep about him leaving.
Downright Bushwoodian.Douchetards? I’ll have to remember that one, thanks!

Wow. You must be a couple of branch campus dummies. I predict Slade will be next in the portal and stated that Franklin is bad with wideouts. Doesn't mean Slade is a wideout. Two thoughts in one post, looks like that is too advance of a topic for a couple of branch campus dummies.<<
Interesting. The only time I've ever heard "branch campus dummies" used was by that school that tries to play football to our west.

We don't even know if someone got fed up and told him to pack.
It is alarming how the last two years PSU has struggled to get the ball to outside WRs. Juwan left, now Shorter gone. What is not surprising is that a kid a slice of pizza away from 250 did not pan out at WR. We went through this at nauseum this summer and some said I was an idiot for saying 235 pound WRs rarely succeed to a 5 star level.
Perhaps he will somewhere else?

Welcome, my friends, to the new normal.
Not better, not worse. Just different rules than before. And the coaches who learn to play by those rules will prosper most.
Shorter’s departure, if he elects to do so, simply opens a spot for somebody new. If the player who comes in is more productive that the player departing (regardless of “stats”), it’s a win.
After giving it some thought, I have no issue with any player looking for a better situation at any time. I’m fine as long as the rules are consistent on eligibility. Coaches move on with little restriction. Some players leave early for the NFL. I’m free to become a Notre Dame fan at any time. (I almost barfed typing that.)
Coaches are going to start earning those huge paychecks in the free agent world. It’s a young MSN’s game. Those long-time coaches like Joe would have struggled to adjust to this environment in my opinion.

Hmmm. Didn't know that Bowers could apply for a 6th. That would be great But then I can't see the NCAA granting us another year with a medical.
It was remarkable that you put together two thoughts in one post. Most of your posts do not have one intelligible thought. Unfortunately, they did not fit together well. Keep trying.
Problem with that generality is was he getting separation? Was he getting open? If a WR is not getting targeted a lot of times it means the player is not open.
His use of the term "branch campus dummies" is a dead give away.
Great post.....I only have issue with the timing. I've seen them come and I've seen them go.
You tell me where did that coach go? Hes not the current WR coach so you may have splainin to do Lucy
But what if these repeated errors are by a few players and the others aren’t making those errors? Player or coach? Anyone that’s coached knows you can work with some players over and over again and they still don’t get it, or they freeze up in games and forget what they’re taught.
Its understandable. In school some days he rode the bus......... on other days he carried his lunch.
"So far this season Shorter has pulled in 12 receptions for 137 yards. The 6-foot-4 receiver has been targeted on 17 occasions, more than twice in a single game on three occasions."
- Buffalo: 1 target, 1 catch
- Pitt: 3 targets, 2 catches
- Idaho: 3 targets, 3 catches
- Michigan State: 1 target, 1 catch
- Iowa: 1 target, 1 catch
- Ohio State: 5 targets, 3 catches
- Maryland: 1 target, 1 catch
- Minnesota: 2 targets, 0 catches
We need to get him the ball more along with Bower and less to KJ and PF. I've always said we need 2 tight ends, 2 setbacks and 3 WRs....if only the coaches had 2 balls.
