Gee, imagine the fun that La Famille Forcier would have had were the portal available in their years.

Harvard and louisville are similar. A testament to what Neeli built at the latter. That bodes well for Penn State.

kind of interesting, in that Louisville landed Thor (the DT from Harvard), and they've also landed Jonathan Mendoza, the DT from Univ. of PA.
Ville is the Ivy League of Kentucky obviously.
How do these kids commit so quickly after entering the portal? Don’t they want to visit campuses and meet the coaches and players? How quickly can they make multiple trips? Even if a kid visited the school coming out of high school, that was then. Things change.
Are these kids just doing Skype?
EDIT: I get that it’s a race to get the open spots, but I wouldn’t expect the coaches to be in a rush. Game film is important, but what about getting to know a kid?

Empirical evidence of tampering.
That damn suspicious nature in me believes that they have their destination set in stone before declaring for the portal. But then again how could that be, wouldn’t that be an NCAA rules violation? And we know no one violates NCAA rules!

Tom, any hint that he plans to enroll in January @ PSU?
This may have played into Bacchetta deciding to portal his way out of town.
