A 38% whiff rate will not get you to the next level. I don’t know how patient the Pirates would be with him. His numbers are not good after 4 seasons of minor league ball. .215 BA. He is only 22 so I suppose they can give him another 1-2 years to turn things around.

Just curious though, why do you say that? Do you have an inside connection to him or Tep?
I’m not sure, but I do believe he was at PSU for one of the games this season with the RB from Tep committed to PSU, who apparently, is his good friend.
I have read/heard multiple reports from various insiders and podcasts.
Based on that info I doubt he is coming here.
Per the reports Mathis did not test well. His stock was dropping. He wanted mo money and OSU did not think he was worth as much. He is now looking around. Colorado and sec schools are in the mix.. Some think he is a project and more suited for DT. It was speculated that psu would take him but not at his asking price. Fans should not be upset if we lose him. The de Chaz who just committed to psu might have more upside. Hopefully OSU does not offer the new DE.
It looks like Franklin is pushing hard to flip PA TE Olesh from Michigan.
I did not say we were out but we are not the favorite and probably not pushing as hard since a de committed last week.
Sean Fitz said on a podcast a couple of weeks ago that he thought the ship had sailed on Mathis and PSU.
Are we still in on Bradley Gompers? He is a hell of a prospect.
Not surprised. Signing day is fast approaching and it will be a scramble to fill out classes now.
Four-star Penn State commit visiting elsewhere Saturday with just over a week to go until signing day
Penn State has 11 days to go until signing day, but one of the staff's top committed players was spotted at another school Saturday.
OSU just had another DE decommit in 4* London Merritt.
Per ESPN he's #52 overall and this is on the heels of losing 4* and #63 Mathis.
Is LJ done? Expect them to go after Coleman even harder. Hopefully we can hold on. He's visiting OSU this weekend so the timing would seem to indicate they'll flip him.

This is why Singleton, Allar, and Carter have to declare for NFL. I have to believe that those players are consuming a large portion of the available NIL budget. We need that money to attract new players.OSU just had another DE decommit in 4* London Merritt.
