We beat out OSU head to head for this rb. Seems like his final star rating will go up as well. OSU is obviously OSU and 100x better than us this year, but they are also having bad running game issues. They really wanted Hall.

We (OSU) will have Bo Jackson and Isaiah West, both sophmores, and Favour Akih, a 4 star freshman from the 2026 class coming back in 2027 (of course with NIL that is subject to change). I would think the staff will probably go to the portal for another RB like they did last year when they got Ja'Kobi Jackson from Florida.

The problem with our inconsistent running game this year has more too do with our OL. A bunch of 4th and 5th year players have not performed as well as expected.

Even better news if true: insiders on TOS are saying that a BIG MONEY PSU DONOR had everything to do with this kid coming in, and that same donor along with a few others are all in with the portal as well this year.

Kid probably wanted a chance to play right away. Wide open tryouts next year here.

I would trade your problems for our problems any day of the week. 😀

A very good recruiting win. This is how we get back to contention. It'll take a lot more of these but one step at a time. WE ARE!

You are right. I am happy about this recruit, but between the nonexistent 26 class and a 27 class that needs help, we still need a heck of a lot - another upper level wr, a qb, another edge just to start. We are in danger of losing Betton so probably another lb. Total rebuild. We’ll get there.

Get him on campus in January and maybe he can contribute in '27.

The kid could be the next Barkley, but it's just another case of filling a spot that is open because the top choice went elsewhere. At some point, WR, RB and QB etc. need to be elite prospects.

Rb is a position that can contribute right away, even without a spring. I think we have something good with the Odoh and Hall combo. Hope they are the next Allen Singleton freshman combo.

Hopefully, this Hall kid will help us get the runs from Day One. Open the floodgates and let it flow.

Don’t follow recruiting closely any more. Any win against OSU is good news and if what you claim about the donors is accurate that’s great news.

So back to this RB we just picked up. He is not rated high but I understand he was injured his entire junior year. Is he a 4 star talent sans injury? How does he look this season?

How much will he cost? I hate to ask.

I suggest you check out the highlights of #0 in the Princeton vs. Mueller game. Check out the 2nd highlight Link:

Regardless of how things work out even this short 2 minute video shows why he should have been highly sought after
