So e-mail Happy Valley United… they are the ones in charge of the money, which is what it is all about anymore.,,
Anyone else worried about Hagans as our WR coach?

Yup. Same one that was offered a scholarship by that Virginia team he rooted for out of high school and chose to go to UNC. I know there are plenty of other factors that go into someone picking a place to go to school. That doesn’t mean it still can’t be frustrating to see that player of need go somewhere else.
I've a lot of comments on Green that have been. Why on earth do we want the kid that can't even get reps at UNC? Now he lands at UVa and its like. Why can't we get this kid?
I guess we stink either way.

I'll admit, I want instant gratification. I've thought it too. After a deep breath I set my superstitious mind aside and realize that we don't have the data points. We are in the fog of data outliers. JGF has been pro-active with this.
Yeah I'm old. They played this in my high school. I believed every bit of it
And “The Devil in Miss Jones” at the Forum.
Not to be picky but take Athens GA off the list. I was in Athens for a game this fall and it was a bit over an hour from our Hotel in Atlanta. State College is much further away from a big population center.
…… You Are…..Wrong!
I’m wrong 
I will never understand why any top player in the country would choose Penn State.
The Creamery?I will never understand why any top player in the country would choose Penn State.
Funny no one is talking about play selection, or QB that never learned how to go thru progression, or how many of the current WRs rarely see the field but NEVER receive a target....do we currently have any WRs with talent? I feel we do...but without game experience difficult to judge. Yes i know.....you get PT thru practice...well i'll tell you from experience you cannot simulate game conditions in practice, only in a game. We had plenty of games with outcomes predetermined....get those guys in the game and if they bomb (ie: poor route running, poor blocking, poor atitude and spirit) then okay...process them. Do we really want to process Saunders, Clifford, Evans, etc without actually seeing them in more games?
I think I am in the camp with you and some others here who are not totally sure this WR room lacks talent. The bomb to Omari Evans in MSU game was a shocker. This guy was invisible most of the season - had a TD catch in mop up early from Beau. it was clear he is electric and he must not have been on the list for the previous OC. Wallace looked big time v WVU in the opener, then gets injured and returns, but somehow is not the same, then gets hurt but not out for the year - but we never saw him again. many of the other guys have shown ability at times but not consistent.
new OC talks about how scheme can provide openings for both run and pass game - helping guys get open.
do we lack athletic ability in the WR room? are they slow? I am not sure, and do we even know. I recall that Sanders was supposed to be the next Hamler in terms of speed. how much is talent vs scheme still seems up in the air. the WR coach of course has to coach them to perform inside the scheme.
Here is my thought - Give the guy more than an hour and half as coach. As for portal players. None of them are that amazing. It will all be OK.
This is exactly the best point to jump in this great thread. Thanks for expressing my thoughts exactly. We have two nationally recruited QB studs, rebuilt O-Line infrastructure, the richest per capita alumni base and 107K nut jobs screaming for them every week. Other than Bama, they can't go anywhere else where it has been done better longer than us.
But It is time for Marcus to shine, The blue bloods know you build the foundation of your team with recruiting, and we have two studs at WR in Denmark and Gonzales and the next great TE in the incoming class. Denmark should be licking his chops to get to campus. The kid gets 12 USA-Soviet Union Lake Placid opportunites each week as a Lion. Butler is right, he can and the freshman TE can become legends. Does James have the same courage to play these kids the way Joe did when the Williams, Butler and what his face were freshman catching passes from Robinson in 2008?
The portal season is turning out to be all about the bag without the rookie contract of three years. I am sorry fellas and RIP Joe but pay them and if they don't produce to the expectation, process them. No more participation trophies to portal phenoms.
What experience tells you game conditions cannot be simulated in practice? If so, every coach who has ever lived doesn't have your insight.
As for insight....maybe that is why so many get fired? With you vast knowledge i am wondering why you chose to criticize me personally and not explain why my statement was faulty? Stop attacking posters and add relevant information.
