Matt's job at psu isn't to win 10 games every year, the last guy did that. He can survive a 9 win season occasionally but what they're looking for is for their team to not fold like a cheap tent every time a top 10 team shows up. If he can do that and make the playoff 3 out of 4 years he'll have a long tenure in happy valley.
Jake Jones Hudl profile says 6'2" and 285#. For the record, coming out of high school, Domonique Orange was 6'3" and 295#.
Ok, not seeing the huge issue when we are doing 4 DLineman. Generally the NG is the 300+ guy and Dtackle will be slightly less than 300. So 10 lbs of muscle and he’s there.
High School/JC players that were released from their NLI certainly can.
But at least there is be four down lineman, right, so all is well.
That was the nature of my question. With portal not open how we can expect a bunch of commits?
Or are people looking for public commitments from current players that they’re staying?
Yeah, I hate to be a debbie downer, but I'm not really excited about an undersized d lineman
They actually don't get a ton of 5 stars. About 1 per year (3 in 2022, 0 in 2021), but there are typically only 35-ish players who get a 5 star rating every year.
They fired the previous coach 1 year after making the semifinals of the playoffs.
Anyone know what other jobs Campbell turned down? There was an article today from some outlet in Pennsylvania where he said he actually had decided to take two previous jobs but "slept on it" and it didn't feel quite right so he stayed.
Be interesting to see where he ends up. I know APP State rotated QBs a lot this year.
I think one was USC. And you’ll hear different opinions about whether that was actually turned down by Campbell or if Lincoln Riley snuck into it at the last minute.
Not sure about the other. He was rumored to have wanted the Notre Dame job before they eventually gave it to Freeman.
Again, not sure if he turned it down or if they turned him down.
I would say some of them could agree to come in to be psu but be prepared to be in the two deeps. Which is something that the top teams have had over isu.
