Penn State going to have to hire Pruitt

LB/WR/DL/QB class is elite. DB class seems like dart throws on great athletes.

DB class adds a lot of speed and length though.

At this point I think Penn State is hoping Duke wins the ACC championship, so they can sell Manny Diaz to their fan base.

You should be our kicker, them soccer boys can kick, with both feet. And the ball is skinny on the end which I imagine would make it even easier. I will call Heup and get you a look.

I did in high school. Literally pulled off the soccer field one practice to go do it for a couple games. I could still kick one around 45 now. Doesn’t mean I could do it in a game or routinely at my age ha

So...

#212 4* Edge Jordan Carter - 4 pm
3* DL Jerimy Finch - later today (Us or Bama)

#54 4* WR or Safety Salesi Moa - Friday (Us or Utah)

What else we got?

Don’t tease me scoop!!!

I heard the are also looking at Arizona coach, Brennan, I think. Sandusky aside, PSU is considered a top shelf program historically and otherwise. I might go throw a bag at Fickell. He's on borrowed time at Wisconsin.

Does your screen jump about 3-4 posts up the page when you reload, causing you to push buttons and stuff you didnt mean to?

Yes. Been doing it for over a week or so.

If he only knew..................

The battle for Moa will continue.

Other than that, Jordan Carter is still out there. JJ Finch still out there. Amari Latimer remains unsigned. Strangely, Hiter does not show as having signed.

We'll see what shakes out.

Time for a nap.

Probably end up hiring the interim HC..

I don't think I've ever seen a worse coaching debacle. They need to fire their AD because he just put them into a full rebuild less than a year from making the semifinals.

How is the dialogue with Moa? is he gone?

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

it's just funny.

It's good to have fans. Especially given the Yeti bigotry I experience here.

They need to fire Kraft. John Currie looks competent by comparison

 

[MockingVol]

I don't care about this give and take one way or the other.

But what I saw has been a kid kicking for the Vols. That's not what the Vol program needs or is about. He has one job that has been pared back in that he does not have kick off duties. No opponents dread to see him run on the field against them. I don't blame him, I blame Heup for allowing the condition to continue.

He is a fader of the ball. We golfers know what that is and what causes it. We know his miss - push right or pull hook left if he rushes it because he is a technique kicker that has to stay in rhythm. Extra pressure rattles him and throws his rhythm off. It has been obvious by his expressions on the sideline.

We need an alpha kicker with an explosive leg that hates to miss who can also handle kick off duties.

I’m usually on the side of giving the players chances to bounce back, but kicker is one of the few positions that once an egg cracks - you most likely aren’t putting it back together.

Unless we just plan to not be in games where getting a field goal matters, we need to look for someone new this portal season.

they had a deal with someone that fell through, right? they had to. no way you take this plunge if you don't feel like you had the next guy lined up. I'll be interested to read the post mortem on this one. AD has to be toast at this point though

 

[RandomUTfan]

Does anyone know if they are doing the recruiting celebration and streaming it? Are we not doing that anymore? I've forgotten. Not even sure if they do that ESD

Yeah I’m not necessarily knocking it. We will see if we can develop.

They should never have trusted their coaching search to a company that makes cheese singles.
