2027 Recruiting Thread

Sure they matter. Point is that that 5* label guarantees a huge NIL deal, whether it's justified or not.

So does buying a high 4* QB & WR from the portal

QB Leavitt transferred to LSU with an NIL value of $4 million
WR Coleman transferred to Texas with an NIL value of $2.9 million

LOL

I thought about setting up the "countdown clock" until someone said:

"He wasn't actually any good"
"He was just looking for a bag of money"
or
"PSU felt they could do better and pulled the offer"

But you beat me to it.

I personally think it’s a loss even with him being lower rated on 247 and ESPN services. I said that in my message? And yes, the money bag dictates most of these “commitments.” FYI Gleason has wandering eyes too. But in terms of Robinson, both sites seem to be saying we parted ways with Robinson .

If a 3* doesn't workout, it's easier to absorb that financial loss than if a 5* doesn't workout.

Also, if you have a couple of guys making 7 figures while the rest of the team is getting 5 and 6 figures, it will be more difficult to build quality depth, not to mention the division it creates in the lockeroom.

Which one is more likely to win the big game?

Are you here for cheer for smart financial moves or winning big games?

Your plan won't get the next lavar arringtons or kj carter.

All indications are that PSU pulled the offer after this weekend, but nobody knows what the heck happened this weekend. Robinson gave no indication in his tweets that he was not fully committed to PSU. It’s a shame because while he was a lower rated prospect, his ceiling is very high. It’s a mystery what happened this weekend.

Huge indication he was flipping. He had a cb to Virginia after he visited. He commented about tge great visit and it was obvious.

Again, you’re stuck in 2015. The “model” you’re thinking of is obsolete today. Look at OSU’s and Alabama’s classes. They’re not all that far off from PSU’s, with one being rated a little higher and the other rated quite a bit lower. NIL is having a HUGE impact on recruiting.

Alabama finishes strong and usually blows past psu.

Osu starts ahead of psu and stays ahead.

Just speculation on my part: maybe he came to PSU with a higher NIL offer from UVA and tried to get PSU to bid higher; PSU said no thanks?

I think he grew out of the position. He will be bigger than Rojas coming in.

He will be 6.3 210 when he starts school which makes him a milkshake away from 220.
