FB Recruiting USC WR Kyron Hudson commits to Penn State

[LandoComando]

Just stfu you miserable bastard..

Because I said he was a "nice add"
Did you watch the game against Nebraska? Defender went up for the ball in front of him, he literally dropped it, got lucky it bounced off the defender and into his hands. Search for his highlight film--you'll see the bobbles.
No player is perfect--they all have pros and cons--he was better in 2024 and hopefully will be even better in 2025 with Allar

 

[lazydave841]

Hudson vs Wallace, who is the wr1?

Good question. Hopefully they push each other, both improve, and with a 3rd year starting Allar behind a possibly full returning OL they can both be good enough to make plays and beat coverage.

They are both very similar players from a statistical and attribute profile. Hudson was #3 in stats at USC, but the difference between #1 and #5 is not vast (396 to 665 yards, 23 to 47 receptions).

I wasn't wrong here but, yes, of course you think I'm wrong because you didn't read it.
Kind of like how you still think I'm wrong about Garrett Greene and WVU or that Lamar's the best QB in the world

I don’t know Jack about some cat named Garrett Green. Nor do I care. And the players and sportswriters are the ones who think Lamar is the best quarterback in the world. I’m just here to give you the bad news that you’re wrong again. As the kids say, sucks to be you.

No, they don't but that's okay--you need that because the only thing Lamar can ever win is the opinion of people who feel obligated to lie and say Lamar is better than others. Better hope the Steelers lose out so they get a home game and aren't out in the first round

USC wide receiver Kyron Hudson commits to Penn State

Penn State adds a playmaker to their roster in the form of USC wide receiver transfer Kyron Hudson.

A very solid get. The guy just doesn't drop balls. Not one drop this year.

Call your therapist. You’re losing your grip on reality again.

Get ready.....

 

[heckmans]

One person is altering reality here. Literally the stat is ZERO for 2024.

Why hasn't this guy been banned?

If you want to ban people for saying something that others deem "wrong," I can think if a handful of nimrods that would be at the top of the list, and Lando isn't there.

He got trojan football, he got ju ju eyeballs, he 1 holy rollah, he one spinal lion

 

[PAgeologist]

Nice pickup for the staff. One piece of bad news (Beau) followed by 2 good ones (Drew and Kyron).

Any bigger name targets for WR out there?

 

[bvillebaron]

Watch the film--PFF can claim no drops which is also why I said bobbles
I guarantee you probably had no clue who he was
I can find you some video if you'd like

Yes Mr. Always Right, please do so.

Are you sure? Word on the street says the expert disagrees.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Drops are always opinion. See the Nebraska TD--many bobbles just on highlights

What’s a bobble where the guy still catches it called?

 

[ram2020]

What’s a bobble where the guy still catches it called?

I dont agree with much of the commentary on this thread other than I'm happy to have this transfer, but I do have to say, we had a reciever famous for bobbles with a catch....Derrick Williams.

 

[LandoComando]

What’s a bobble where the guy still catches it called?

I don't know if this is serious or not?
A bobble hinders YAC which is a huge issue with our current team and him
Still a good add...though he's basically Fleming...I think he'll do better than Fleming but that type if add. Wallace had a better year.

 

[sylvanialion]

Prett solid--I wasn't wrong here and the only thing I have wrong is Drew staying which I'm happy to be wrong about

He is 90% on drops and 10% bobbles for December and that is his best month this year.

 

[Nittany1997]

This is great news.

 

[Lion84]

Landy it too funny - I wasn’t wrong even though you proved I was wrong but if I post I wasn’t wrong a 1000 times maybe magically I wasn’t wrong - deny dent deny - the last resort of the feeble minded.

 

[PSU Soupy]

Hudson vs Wallace, who is the wr1?

My hope is that they are even for #2 or #3 on the team with a yet to be determined #1 still to come on board. if that happens then you have a solid #1..... two very, very solid #2s and Evans as a speed guy........ and Clifford, more of a possession guy. All of that combined with the redshirt freshmen and incoming freshmen and the WR room looks much improved. Very Good TEs.....Good OL room and perhaps the best returning QB in College Football. Now what happens with the RB room.....if Allen or Singleton return along with the freshmen talent.....dang we now have an offense.

Get 1 or 2 space eaters at DT......1 DE.....and 1 more LB. and we should be quite a stout team............

Read what I wrote again--i know that's difficult for many here
I specifically said "drop/bobbles" because that's accurate--he didn't just play one year at USC which you should know--did you know that?
I can't be accountable for your inability to read and comprehend what was said
Watch the breakdown in the other thread--if you still don't see it then you're going to be confused next year
We do understand Hudson didn't leave USC because he was chasing money--he left because the younger kids on the depth chart passed him, right?

 

[SLion]

Don't listen to the dope. The LSU highlights alone make this kid a great pick-up. Some insane catches.

This is an big upgrade to WR room.

 

[Obliviax]

I saw this and was surprised we had two participants. A little patchwork and our passing game could be awesome next year.

See the other thread comparing him to Tinsley. Wasn't my comp.

The drops were a '23 issue. According to the video, he has a lower drop rate overall than any Franklin WR I believe is what they said.

Passed? By who? When? He had 6 catches for 79 yards to lead USC vs UCLA in their 11th game.

If you don't like him as an addition, just come out and say it, but you are searching for narrative that doesn't exist when you say younger guys passed him. He was their #3 WR when it comes to stats. Robinson is the only younger WR one could argue about and isn't he in the portal?

First, the kid went to Mater Dei which is one of the strongest high school football programs in the nation (Bryce Young, John Huarte, Matt Leinart, Todd Marinovich). Second, I believe he was a 4 star kid out of HS. Tinsley wasn't nearly that high rated which means he wasn't that good of an athlete compared to Hudson. Third, he brings something we don't have at WR short of Fleming: A big stong WR that isn't afraid to be chucked at the LOS. He was third in receptions at USC but all of their WRs are pretty close with 46, 47, 38, and 36 receptions for their WRs (Hudson being the 38).

Here is his high school scouting report:

One of the strongest receivers in the country who can bully opposing corners. Has a thick upper body and is tough to press or redirect. Can get to his spots and uses his size and strength to create separation. Has very good hands and does a nice job catching the ball through contact. Isn’t a burner and needs to continue to work on his burst and long speed. Does run well after the catch and is a very polished route runner as well. Competes hard, is a willing blocker and brings a tough guy element to the football field. Projects as a impact upper tier Power 5 starter and future mid-late round NFL draft pick.

It's not about him stating an opinion. It is about a ceaseless pattern of odd, defiant type conduct and attacks on other posters which ruin every post. This guy invades every single thread and does the same thing over and over. He turns any topic into a contrarian soap box for his big mouth and idiotic takes. It has seriously diluted the conversation and analysis on this board.

He came on this thread for one goal: degrade the WR and downplay the PSU transfer news. When everyone called him on the fake "con", allegedly drops, with stats of ZERO drops, this guy continues his behavior. Every thread, over and over and over.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

A very solid get. The guy just doesn't drop balls. Not one drop this year.

I heard HandJoCommando bobbled this statistic.

Bobbled then dropped. I've seen it hundreds of times on replays.

I'm fine with the addition but he's not a #1 and debatably not a #2--still our 2nd best right now so I like the addition.
Branch, Lane and Lemon are all younger and they surpassed him and are likely the top 3 next year--it's why he and Duce left
Which happens at schools like USC--they have a ton of talent and some will leave to play elsewhere
He had a nice game against UCLA--he was invisible against ND and Washington. Pretty sure Lane had 3 TDs in that game while Brancha nd Lemon had big days--going off memory as it's been a few weeks. I don't think there's any doubt Lane, Branch and Lemon are their top 3 moving forward which is why the other two left.

attacks on other posters? I'm not the one that attacks--if anything I defend myself. See you attacking me when you can't even accurately repeat what I said
I didn't "degrade the WR" -- I listed the pros which outweighed the cons and said "nice add" just because you want to make him more than he is doesn't make it true or me negative
My quote was "drops/bobbles" not just drops--I couldn't have made that more clear--2023 he had drops
You can believe what you want--then you'll see, like WVU/Greene/Neal Brown, that I'm right as I always was and you're ignore that.

 

[searay26]

I put Lando on ignore a long time ago. Works great!

 

[Lion84]

Give Lando credit I believe he has found a way to monetize posts - it's the only explanation for the millions of inane stupid and flat out wrong post that vomit from him on a continual basis.

I agree. Most threads are much more pleasant now. I chuckle at everybody still trying to argue with that moron.

[lazydave841]

He was squarely in the middle of the entire USC WR room. 10 catches and 150 yards essentially separate him from #1 to #5. Is that scheme? Game plan? QBs?

Branch, Lane and Lemon are all younger and they surpassed him and are likely the top 3 next year--it's why he and Duce left
Which happens at schools like USC--they have a ton of talent and some will leave to play elsewhere

Looking at the stats, Hudson could easily be argued as the #2 guy there. 9 less receptions and only 41 less yards than Branch. More TDs. Lane has the TD edge, but Hudson gained 80 more yards on just 2 more receptions.

It's probably moot to make definitive statements about a room so close. They were all good and were essentially equally used. One guy being used in the red zone (3 catches, 26 yards, 3 TDs) one week and the other being the main WR the week before (6 catches, 79 yards) is decent proof that it's much more likely that their stats and usage was highly matchup dependent moreso than any clear pecking order.

So, why do you think Duce and Hudson left and not the others? My opinion is, just that, Riley wanted to roll with the the other who are younger and have more upside. I think we saw that at the end of last year.

Maybe you're right--to me, again JMO, Duce and Hudson were told the other three would be the primary guys next year--and they wisely left as they're good players that can have a better opportunity elsewhere. It's tough to have 5 good WRs--eventually you have to pick 3 because they all want to be showcased.

I will say, Riley's decision (if that's correct) doesn't mean it's the right one. Regardless it worked out well for us. We just shouldn't be pretending this is a guy that left USC as a star to get paid. He's not a gamechanger but he could be a valuable piece

I understand he's "pretending" he didn't and everybody's laughing at him.

I think Hudson left to join a playoff contender. The better passing QB left. He's now coming to a room where today he is at worst the #2 guy.

He could show up and flop (Cephas), he could arrive and thrive (Tinsley). I don't think he's leaving here as a '26 1st round pick, but I think we will gladly take 35/400 from him in '25.
