2026 Recruiting Thread

[Catch1lion]

Tom, I can’t find the image of all the PSU swag laid out for this weekends visitors on the bed comforter . If you can get McAndrew board logo tongs , we can contribute to the cost .

I see that with the last WR Commit we have crept out of the B1G 2026 Team Rankings basement and have surpassed Nebraska. Coincidentally it was via another recruit from the state of Nebraska!

And Tom posted a couple days ago in the thread about the state college RB and the Juco DT. Two more probably won’t bump them up above UCLA or Wisconsin but if those guys lose anyone it might.

I am pleasantly surprised we are putting together a real recruiting class. I wonder if we are going national with recruiting or perhaps this midwest focus is just situational until CMC and the new staff get acclimated to the east coast in a normal recruiting cycle.

You cannot ignore recruiting, but given that ~1/3 of all NCAA football players are in the portal right now, it’s so much less important than it used to be. Having a recruiting cycle like this year isn’t ideal, but I don’t know why some folks are freaking out like the portal doesn’t exist.

So, PSU offered this kid out of HS but Iowa didn’t? Interesting.

If Bielma offered him, says it all for me.

I think it's to make sure we have bodies right now, the best ones we could get because of what happened this year. I am sure recruiting is going to take a jump next year.

CMC will find more 3 star NFL players than you are used to at Penn State. My kid played at Toledo with Greg Manz and Kareem Hunt. You might know them, NFL lineman and NFL running back. Add that to the 4 and 5 stars who I think they will sign in the future. I told ISU fans early on to give him a chance and they would reach levels never seen at ISU. I will be excited to root for PSU in the future.

Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
