Why are you so desperate to hate this team?
A few folks at PSU still root for a coach, not PSU....dead, fired....it doesn't matter as they cannot move on from their little fanboy crushes on coaches.

The new HC is yet to even coach a single game and these d-bags are all in to this woe is me basically for attention. They know it will be a failure. Now a few we saw like this when JF was hired and they didn't hide they were bigots and upset it wasn't a Joe guy, but not even giving MC a game is just for attention. They're idiots....long story short. I have no idea how he will work out....crazy to say that, but just hoping for the best.

You named one LB 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 … it takes more than one LB to have a good defense lol.
He's currently on the team and expected to be a very prominent part of this year's defense . Where did he come from? I'm not the one stupid enough to say a coach ignored 3 position groups a year and a half after his team was finished #5 in the nation. It looks like the current coach could be "ignoring" WR as well. How about you hold your breath until the new staff finishes better than #5 in the nation?
Run your mouth when PSU has reached "excellence at the highest level."

No one beats you for running your mouth. So many put you on ignore, you created multiple handles to get attention.

Talking Gibson decommitment, Taylor, Penn State “big boy” recruiting (especially PA) Armstrong, etc. A good listen.


The BWI podcast today was good as well. Confirms that something wonky happened with Gibson and he needed an escape valve out of his state now for the 2026 season that Rutgers provided that we could not provide because we are loaded at running back this year. It also confirms that we are in a strange spot as a 10-25 school for money. We lose many of the recruits that the top 10 $ schools truly want, and we have risk from the tier below us that want to grab somebody like a Gibson that will be program changing and drastically overpay to do it. Interesting times.

So the flip of the RB to Rutgers was in due to
1: He got in some sort of trouble at a 7 on 7 and was being suspended for a game or two at his HS
2: Because of #1, he wanted no part of his current HS, but couldn’t just transfer and be eligible
3. Rutgers pounced on this news and offered him high 6 figures to early enroll.
4. He always liked Rutgers and wanted out of his HS and PSU couldn’t use him in the 26 roster as Rutgers can and will!

It’s a loss for PSU either way
I don't know that many on here believe Gibson isn't a loss. CMC and staff have to find a comparable replacement. Too bad he chose to reclassify, which apparently knocked PSU out of his commitment.

I wouldn’t mind if we held steady at RB or picked a developmental rb, but I really want to see us reach and flip an elite WR. I still think that Campbell’s crew is doing well in recruiting in many respects, but I do have concerns that they are religiously adhering to their scale. They are holding some money for the portal, for sure. They are preparing for the five-year rule as we may have a number of players come back for another year. Read a few places that we are 20% for recruiting class. That may need to be bumped up to 25% for this year and next year to rebuild after Kraft’s lost 2026 class. The only caveat is if we have enough funds to get what we want out of the portal. I have some doubts there because the portal general is higher than high school recruiting.

PSU RB depth appears to be: Hansen, Peoples/Martin (battling for #2), and Wallace.

Yea. That is pretty thin. After Hansen it is a big question mark. Not sure martin is even a RB. I think I read he was tested at other positions in spring.

Psu is two injuries away from needing Gibson.
