We Are Better, 4/16/23, Kiandrea Barker, RB, TX/AR

He accepted day after first setting foot on campus... 10% chance this sticks

Yeah, and he has a teammate who is really high on Penn State too. I’m skeptical of kids who haven’t done a lot of visits but he’s saying a lot of the right things here. Still - actions > words - let’s see if he takes more visits before getting too worked up…

Generally agree. Downside is if PSU intends to take only a limited number at the position, it causes an adjustment in recruiting approach which could mean losing out on another high caliber prospect.. That's largely a function of time to LOI Day.

Good point.

What’s the scuttlebutt on other verbals? Was listening to a lot of pre and post game podcasts and they were saying to expect maybe four or more….this expected?

His teammate at Catholic Memorial and number 3 player RB Corey Smith is also expected to be a Lion very heavy lean.

Pulling top OL and RB out of Wisconsin? What world are we even living in? That's like their bread and butter. And more butter.

Wisconsin people are finding it hard to believe also. They’re blaming the coaching change as a big part it. Personally I think Fickell is an upgrade.

Simply put.....Beers on me at Pickles if this kid puts on the blue and white.

Careful - the Franklin Defense Force might get wind of your negativity and hunt you down!

How about a beer either way?

The further that circle gets from HV the harder it is to keep them committed the whole time. We kept 2 from Florida last year and lost 1...maybe more. Tough pull out of there and I thought I read last night they have another 2025 OT at that same school who is a heave PSU lean right now.
