Do we know who all is planning on enrolling early?
Not sure anybody really knows right now with all of the CJF rumors to USC and LSU going on although I would imagine he has already had straight up talks to many of the recruits about these rumors

What does Brennan think about that?

4-Star RB Kaytron Allen: Allen was a late addition to the visitor list, but the ‘Noles staff will be happy to have him on campus. They’ve been recruiting Allen for several months before his commitment to Penn State in July. He’ll be tough to flip, but FSU got him on another visit and we'll talk to him afterward to see if the trip made an impact on his recruitment.

Does CJF revoke his status as a verbal for this class? He should.

Hope our coaches continue to remind him that this season is a prime example of 1) we need multiple running backs in each class because things happen, some guys do not pan out, and you are bound to get early playing time if you perform, and 2) FSU is not only not in any better shape than we are, but is by all sorts of metrics in worse shape than we are.

Dirty little secret(at least from what I can tell), his rule of visits resulting in pulling your offer seems to only apply to 3 stars or guys that were not the most desirable members of a class. He does seem to revoke offers from guys we make exceptions or add late. Everyone is absolutely nuts if they think Franklin plays this game with a 5star recruit these days. You really think he'd pull a scholarship from Allar if he simply visited OSU right now? Franklin knows he needs high end talent, there is no way he has a unilateral policy on this for all players, especially considering the trending of the program the last 2 years.

Odds bodkin man, are you really suggesting that we don’t have “scholarship pulling equity” with respect to all recruits?

HAHAHAHHAH! There is Diversity in our scholarship reneging policy. All recruits are equal, some are more equal than others.

I wish Katron Allen had decided to visit Florida today instead of FSU, as UF is losing to Samford & Sons.........

But then again Miami could put a lick'in on FSU and help us out !!

As Herm Edwards said when he was an anFL head coach, the rules are fair but not equal between star players and non-star players

That's an entertaining accusation, but it's entirely false. The policy CJF and his staff have with recruits is far more nuanced than what most seem to think. The details of it have been mostly spelled out in posts in the Lions Den. I believe the rules are still in effect that information posted on paid boards is not to be copied or posted on a free board, so I can't get into the specifics.

Yeah, sorry Tom, but that is wholly unsatisfactory to me. I am speculating, with some reason to believe its true, but you are telling me its not, based on information on another board(which assuredly is speculative) that you can't share with me.

Is Allar visited another school right now, would Franklin pull his offer? Considering Franklin has one foot on a banana and the other in a grave, it would fracture his entire class and be totally illogical.

Again, you're making assumptions that are inaccurate. The "another board" is this site's Lions Den, and the information posted on it about how the staff handles verbals that visit other schools is not speculative. It's on a premium board, and all premium boards have rules that info posted on them can not be posted on free boards, so my hands are tied in terms of what I can share, regardless of whether that is satisfactory to you.

Now you're getting into speculation. How PSU handles these situations is in large part based on the communication they receive from the verbal, not on whether the verbal visits other schools.

By the way, you should be able to read posts on the premium board on this site, just can not comment. I can read them, and I have a free account.

There's more room in the class.


Even though he played at Harvard. If you had at least 2 years of college experience and you don’t think you can get on the field quickly here as an o-line prospect, you have a very low level of self confidence. For his sake I truly hope it’s something else.

Wondering if he might have been nudged?
