We really don't know if Trotter was a take at this point, Who knows. It seemed that Picciotti and Rojas were two of the top LB targets but beyond those two who knows. With Trotter picking WVU and his brother being at Clemson, maybe he wasn't a take at Clemson. Could be he wasn't waiting for things to shake out, or maybe he just loved WVU, not something that is likely to come out.
WVU might be the school where he has the best chance of starting immediately against a good competition/schedule then there's always the portal for next year. Unless he flips of course.
Already have two borderline 5 star OL players committed in Birchmeier and Williams. Some of the other commits are only high 3 star recruits according to the 247 consensus, but they are players that CJF and his staff have identified early which is more important to me than what some random rater believes. And that's how I look at it overall - if Franklin and his staff continue to get commits from his early offers and they fill out most of the class this Summer and by early Fall, the talent will be top 10 even if the raters don't believe so. But what usually happens is that other schools, some top ones that are late to offer some of CJF's early commits, come in later with offers, or a couple blow up at a camp or two, and then at least a couple of the 3 star commits get bumped up helping the class ranking...... And then together with the staff getting commits from players that are already solid 4 stars PSU should end up in the top 10 .......... Class size is also a factor, but with the portal it will be a surprise when PSU has a class of less than 23-25 players.
Thanks for the info. Maybe we will get 1 or 2 players this cycle who have a meteoric rise their senior season similar to Allar's rise. That's what makes following recruiting so much fun over the course of the year.
