Should I stay or should I go now?

James must be playing this song.
If you stay, there will be trouble.
If you go, it will be double.

All joking aside. Staff is doing a great job convincing these young men to come back.
Adding some portal. Magoo sees a path to a deep playoff run in 2025. I did have cataract surgery last years. Eyes be working.

A return to the semis is the floor.
IMO we still need some players like Vanover and King to return. We also need a safety, CB, and WR (are there any 4* WRs left in the portal?)

I think #4 is possible if we get those things and we stay healthy but no way would I call it a floor considering Franklin is 1-18 vs top 5 teams.

That's just your negativity talking. Again, we're already top 4. I don't think Vanover's availability is in question - he's fully expected back. If we got an additional safety, CB and WR, we'd be the clear #1. That'd be a ridiculous situation, overflowing with talent ...

And you'd still be there saying "eh, I don't think we're that great ... we could still lose to SouthWestMemphisStA&M. It's OK ... we all have our role to play ... you're Darryl Downer. Or you could realize that, no matter your outlook on the team, the team will be the team, and you might as well enjoy the positives that come with that team. You don't get points for criticizing this, or being overly negative about that, if they don't, in fact, succeed.

Van Over is gone. No eligibility left.

Penn State will start 2025 ranked nice and high. And that doesn't matter at all.

With expanded rosters and NIL, it's not surprising to have all this talent come back, but it sure is nice. Now the challenge is to improve what we have and make sure the young blood gets reps.

And, while a lot of PSU players are returning, the “NIL money keeps players in college” thing is true for everyone else, as well.

That said, I’m all atwitter at how good the OL can be next year.

Do NOT put off cataract surgery. I got my eyes done (cataract and Lasik both) and went from 20/800 to 20/20. That was my big secret: I could hear better than I could see.
