2023 Recruiting thread

[GregInPitt]

Regarding LB targets at this point in the cycle, Pickel and Snyder talk through the top targets. Sounds like 3 LB's in the class with the current top targets being:
Tony Rojas
Ta'Mere Robinson
Dee Crayton, 4 star from GA. True Mike??
Corey Lucius, unrated on 247 but Diaz supposedly was the first to offer back with Miami.

Penn State shifts focus at linebacker, RPM pick, more: BWI Daily

Penn State has their top two targets in the Class of 2023 at linebacker, but insider Ryan Snyder says the picture is changing after that.

A LB targets discussion from VBR. Also Crayton, Rojas and Robinson, but maybe a large Safety player makes the switch to Sam for PSU....

Duke?

 

[PSUJam]

Duke?

Strange right? Also has offers from Clemson, Wisky, WV, and VT among others.

Duke?

A degree with serious value, even for jocks.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

A degree with serious value, even for jocks.

If I were a good but not great high school football player I’d go to Duke in a heartbeat. Unbelievably beautiful campus, great degree, and top tier alumni group to leverage upon graduation

He lives 30 minutes from campus so not much of a surprise. Still need to get these guys.

The word on one of their boards is they recruited his gf or that she's already a student.

Tight end perhaps.

Girlfriend impact and I heard an NLI deal of a couple hundred thousand dollars. He seems to be WVUs top recruit this cycle.

 

[GregInPitt]

Better he go to the Hoopies than to oh-high-ya......

But can't officially cry over it until the ink is dry.

I grew up in western PA and used the term hoopies as well for WV. Any idea to the meaning or origination of the term?

 

[PSUJam]

On another note, according to other sources it appears Tyrece Mills will not enroll until Fall as he needs one more class to qualify. Apparently there was confusion with what class would transfer and he chose the wrong one.

 

[Tom_PSU]

What position?

I believe that their sex life is none of our concern.

Good Lord, how on earth does that happen? I can't believe PSU is not telling these kids what classes they need to take.

Not really sure. But I worked for the largest manufacturing company in WV for over 25 years and I remember some of the workers that had friends or relatives, or cabins, out in the most rural areas of WV would refer to going down in the the more rural areas of WV as "going down hoopie"

This is what we're up against.

"At Northwestern, you can't really beat being 20 minutes away from Chicago," Robinson said. "Being right on Lake Michigan, they have a great beach."

Being 20 minutes away from Chicago is not nearly far enough from Chicago for most sane people..... College town vs Chicago, not many likely opt for the war zone.

I used to go there on business 4 or 5 times a year. Flying to Midway and driving out to Gary, IN. Driving along Von Ryan's Expressway I would wonder why settlers would have stopped in such nasty place on their way out west. Out of gas, maybe.
