I don't know that WVUs is actually good. 43 commits is way too many and though they have a good spread of high 3s only 2 4s...I don't know that that's going to turn out well for them.
A lot of that would seem to make sense, especially the money piece with the arms race that is NIL. I think French pointed out that in the majority of JF's 'big game' loses, PSU was clearly the less talented team - on paper and the field. LtPeter has mentioned that PSU ranked well behind OSU and Michigan in terms of BIG10 fundraising and NIL. More money can get a lot of things - players, coaches, facilities...the best recruit class signed in...forever.
I'll defend JF because he's our guy, but a lot of his requests make sense in context. "You want us to get to the next level you gotta give me X".
He's the motha-flippin'
long time, no see.
the old gang IYKYK are on a different platform, but I just don't have time to stay active on that chat. are you still in NC?
if things pan out, I'm sure they'd love to hear from you again, and we can flex on the other fans, like the old accylum days.
Two schools having underrated good signing days: WVU and UNC. Both massive classes but getting flips from both 4 stars and 85/86 rated guys.
Branch chose Auburn.
The look I get is more like "praying for death".
There's a few of us here in Aggieland. The Ags had their 2005 Marcus Vick vs Da U game Friday night, sadly.
Texas Tech is on-track to dominate the Big-12. Why shouldn't we run the ACC—again? It all starts with the right financing. Since VT does not have oil money, they best give we alums cause to sustain this though incentives to open up the checkbook (most of all, winning a ton of games)
the future is looking better. 
Wish I could remember where I saw it, but someone said UCLA and Chesney have been flirting for a bit, so who knows if he also turned down Penn State for SoCal
And then throwing Chesney off to the side because he thought they could steal Sitake from BYU? It makes no sense.
Side note: it is crazy that UVA was able to steal Bronco from BYU unless they really did not like him there.
Who are we recruiting?
My PSU friends tell me this:
- Every year, he asks for more: more money, more facilities, more assistant coach pool money, more everything. Under the threat that he'll bail.
- The "big game" thing.
- The feeling that this year was the year. A feeling that Franklin encouraged.
- Then the Oregon loss, followed by their 2 game skid during which Franklin seemed checked out.
Basically, he had worn out his welcome, and when yet another year was lost (in a pretty dramatic flame out if we're being honest), the dam broke.
I have no idea how accurate any of that is, beyond the verifiable facts of the losses this year. But that's my friends' take on why they got rid of him so quickly and without a plan.
turns out Dave IS here, man
I do think the ones that are rational are correct. It may have been time for them to move on from Franklin for both party's sakes. Kraft has absolutely butchered the hell out of the process by not having a plan in place and now being a gigantic laughing stock
Franklin is recruiting people for every position. LB, QB, WR, message board...
Yeah, I have no idea why 247 is listing him as a decommit
There are still a bunch of PSU fans on reddit trying to defend that decision
Welcome back. Way to commit on signing day
A few interviews Franklin has done today he's told the story of Pierce asking him "who's my TE coach gonna be", "what's the TE room look like" "whos the OC going to be" and Franklin just having to say "you're going to have to trust me" says a lot about his ability to sell and his relationships. Incredible he's been able to do this so far.
Like Primus pointed out, he said he was still committed to Syracuse a day or two ago
After a couple years I have rejoined The Key Play. I am excited for the future
I agree. Also was thinking what a great interview he was. Maybe he comes as a transfer in a year.
The Centre Daily Times in State College is reporting that BYU fans have contributed $4,862.32 to the State College Food Bank after a BYU podcast urged them to do so. I enjoy the petty for sure, but this is cool.
