We are.....better 7/28 - Jerry Cross
- Thread starter RTRMR
- Start date
Woo hoo, welcome to Happy Valley, Jerry Cross & family!!
Gotta figure we’ll get Mehki Flowers, too. Really good offensive class in the works.
Judging from Pribula’s twitter, he is close friends with Ivey as well. Can’t hurt.
Not to put the cart before the horse, but a WR trio of Saunders, Flowers, and Ivey would rank higher (on paper) than any WR trio since at least Blacknall/Godwin/Thompkins.
3 of the top-20 WRs in the class.......we haven't had that kind of haul since.......ever? Even that 2014 group didn't feature a single guy among the top 20 WRs in their class.
I don't, but he's been chatting with Saunders on Twitter and even suggested that he wanted to join the party. Of course, kids talk like that.......so I wouldn't read too much into it. But it's promising.
Interesting thing about Saunders, Flowers, and Ivey......all 6'1 or shorter. But man.....that's a talented bunch. Cross has great size, and some have suggested that he's a WR at the next level.
Either way, 2022 looks to make up for the WR/TE misses in the 2021 class.
Got to like our chances against that competition.
I imagine Parker has a relationship with Ivey, but still.......I'll take our chances.
Strange seeing kids in my daughter class (22) going through this process. Knew it would happen though.
I swear he caught EVERYTHING though, great great player.
Yeah......that's really the only trio I could think of, though nobody in the 2022 class is on par with Derrick Williams as a recruit, and of course Norwood was a recruiting afterthought. I'd gladly take their productivity, though (swapping Justin King for Deon Butler).
Obviously no guarantee we get all three, but we are looking pretty good with both Flowers and Ivey, it seems.
Which we? PSU or Nova?
Maybe we can clarify this in the future as follows:
Nova is they-we.
PSU is we-we.
At the time, the Shorter(1)/Dotson(36/George(46) class was thought to be absolutely stacked.
Dotson has proved to match his rating IMO, Shorter and George still have to live up to their projection. Albeit, Shorter in another uniform.

Nope, Norwood received a scholarship offer very late in the cycle and many on this board went ballistic. Believe he wound up as a grayshirt.
Deon Butler was a walk-on......maybe that's who people are thinking of? Part of that same 2005 freshman class, though he redshirted the 2004 season.
PennLive has quoted Flowers as saying he prefers to play Safety in college. And they list Flowers as 6'2" 191lbs with the frame to play at 210-220.
"Flowers has told PennLive he’d prefer to play safety in college."

If PSU is looking at Flowers at Safety, a 3-4 WR class may include Sanders, Ivey, ....a FL target......

Not according to Rivals...
In fact, this article says he was a walk-on:
Norwood entered Penn State as an undersized walk-on in the midst of the The Dark Years, as Penn State had suffered losing records in three of the past four years. The team would finish 4-7 during his redshirt season in 2004. At the time, the mere thought of Norwood becoming a starter during his time at Penn State seemed highly unlikely. The idea that he would be a key contributor on multiple Big Ten Championship teams at Penn State was downright laughable.
That would all change in 2005. Paired with fellow redshirt freshman Deon Butler, and true freshmen Derrick Williams and Justin King, the group of young receivers would completely transform Penn State's moribund offense into one of the most dangerous in the nation. With Norwood catching everything that came his way, Penn State would go on to win the Big Ten and finish third in the national rankings following a thrilling victory against Florida State in the Orange Bowl.

Normally yes, but Adam Brenneman is a Graduate Assistant at Arizona State and I just saw that Ivey is referencing Brenneman's handle in twitter posts.
