Fellas, I don't usually worry, but today really struck me while I was looking over the recruiting news and the hurdles we face. Today two kids committed to other programs who we were hoping we had a decent shot with (King and Ball). It prompted me to look at our current commits and our previous class and I came to a startling conclusion that we're struggling to consistently land kids named Josh. I'm not sure if this is unique to Penn State as some other programs have had that issue, but one of our conference rivals just picked up Josh King. So I don't know what to think.
Ryan or recruiting gurus (maybe gorki?), do you think this is a trend worth being concerned over? I remember last year we had this debate over whether we needed 2 Juwans/Juwuans, and we settled for the one (albeit a good one). It just seems like a tough recruiting landscape and losing the top 2 kids named Josh we had on our board in one day is a tough blow. Thoughts?
