Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

[Taosman]

Playing at Ped State this year will be even more of an adventure.
That crowd will want blood. We need to get up big early so a lot of them leave the stadium early.

It's a stadium that seats 100,000 in the middle of BFE. Looking at how fucked they are, they may not be able to draw 40,000 of their own fans in 5 years time.

Interesting update on PSU commits:

http://recruiting.scout.com/2/1204693.html

Two of Penn State's commits -- Randolph (N.J.) High offensive lineman Brendan Mahon and Red Bank Regional High (Little Silver, N.J.) defensive end Garrett Sickels told Scout.com in the late afternoon they were honoring their commitments to Penn State.

prized four-star quarterback commit Christian Hackenberg of Fork Union (Va.) High told Scout.com ?a four- to five-year bowl ban? could push him to look elsewhere

Five-star tight end Adam Breneman?s father, Brian, issued a statement on the status of the Cedar Cliff High (Camp Hill, Pa.) standout, saying only, ?We will not be making any comments regarding Penn State or Adam's recruitment at this time. Thank you.?

Chuck Smith, who coaches Penn State linebacker commit Brandon Bell at Oakcrest High (Mays Landing, N.J.), issued a statement via text.

?Once Brandon makes a decision about his future we will let everyone know,? Smith said. ?Right now Brandon and his family are evaluating the situation.?

Furthermore, sources told Scout.com several high school coaches of members of Penn State?s 2012 class reached out to schools about their players transferring. It is a saga that is likely to play out time and again in the near future because football programs begin training camp in two weeks.

I'll actually admire the kids that chose to stick to their commitments to ped aggy. That takes character. But, I doubt many, if any, of them with better options will stick around. They just became Indiana in terms of recruiting.

 

[Taosman]

Hackenberg is getting a lot of suitors, now. I doubt he'll stick with the Nits.
He was the key that started this class. Would be a major blow if he bails.
That could create a domino effect of decommits.

so anything interesting happening up North today?

Nah, I'd say the domino fell at approximately 7:10 AM EST this morning. Most of the kids are just waiting a little while to not seem so callous.

Then again, maybe Barry O'Blumpkin will just employ the Paterno strategy: He just won't answer the phone. If they don't speak to you, they didn't decommit, damnit!

 

[Oh8ch]

A first minor clash in PSUs efforts to change its culture went on today. How did BOB balance "rally round the flag" with "do what's best for yourself".

These kids don't know what this really means. He does. Not saying he should encourage them to go, but it might be appropriate to let them know that it doesn't make them traitors.

Along that same line, has the NCAA given any guidance on the rules for contacting these kids? Contacting a kid for the purpose of poaching is normally vorbotten. But these kids don't know who has an interest in them. Much easier to evaluate your options if you know what they are.

That's the George Louis Costanza strategy.

What is Dohrmann still camped in Columbus looking for Ellis?

Nope! Just some rhythmic slapping sounds coming from Pennsylvania.

Ped Aggy thought they were this guy:

They're just now finding out that they were this guy:
