There’s still 4 edge rushers that have verbal commitments. What’s up with Mathis?

Honestly, the kid is from Kansas. The PSU commitment never felt right to me anyway. I figured he would end up at one of the Texas schools or Oklahoma. Oh well. Next up. PSU stole one from TX last year in Granville and the staff is very high on him.

Correct, he is from Kansas.

As for the commitment never feeling right, I would rephrase that a bit. Woods rarely talked to recruiting guys, so there was never a lot of info out there about him. Plus with him being from KS, there was very little buzz about his play in his senior season, but that was mostly due to where he was located, and where the majority of the folks on this board are located.

He visited Florida a week or so ago, which caught most of us by surprise. And even then, he said almost nothing to the Univ. of FL guys that cover recruiting, or the guys that cover PSU recruiting, so there was almost nothing written about him that included quotes from him that gave fans any sense of what was going on.

Woods' father did have a prior connection with CJF, so there was home hope/belief that this would push things to the good guys.

My frustration is twofold: 1) he's a really good prospect, and 2) the switch came shortly before signing day, so PSU doesn't have a lot of time to respond. I'm sure PSU had contingency plans (they always do with regards to every recruit), but it's tough to execute them in a way you'd like when there is so little time.

Yeah, I understand that, but with the portal these decommittments don’t have the same sting they did for me in the past. Maybe Franklin gets another AE or Chop in the portal? For all we know, Woods never pans out. I was frustrated when the LB, Wingo, decommited a few years ago and went to Florida, but I have no idea if he ever panned out. Life goes on, there will be someone else.

So, what’s the last minute recruiting buzz? Is Franklin going to pull an 11th hour recruit that we weren’t expecting?

I am hoping it is the QB that is committed to UNC, because he looks like a great prospect. However, I have heard he may just wait to see what UNC does and then if he does make a move, do it in Jan- he can sign and enroll in Jan, but it's not official until the Feb signing day. For some reason I think Vega Ionae did the same thing. (Boy, has he turned out to be a great 3 star recruit).

Did I read the details of Belichek’s contract correctly? His buyout drops to $1 million after June 1? So, in theory he could leave without ever coaching a game there

There are a bunch of PSU recruits nominated. MattSieg and Dayshaun Burnett are among the nominees for small schools. Alex Tatsch, Xxavier Thomas, Jabree Coleman for the bigger schools.

Just figured I’d link it for anyone who wants to vote.
