i lived in nashville when he coached vanderbilt. he always struck me as being phony. a little too slick.Add in 14 players in the transfer portal something odd going on?

They have lost 3, & their doesn't seem to be an apparent connection, or related reason between them, but you never know.they have lost 4 recruits
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but remember their Bowl Game against Kentucky last New Year's Day? Trey McSorely went down with a leg injury early in the second half. If my memory is correct, it was later determined that this was some form of a fracture. Yet after sitting out one series they allowed him to return to the game and play on one leg the rest of the half. Not sure how much of this to put on Coaching and Staff and how much on McSorely who knew he was playing his last college game. Maybe the word is getting out that Penn State doesn't value the health and well being of the Player.Maybe we should start calling him shady Franklin! That's a lot of turnover for PSU, let alone any program. Odd because they seemed to be trending up. Like you guys said i hope this leads to us getting Cole Brevard.
My guess on “why” is that the guys in the portal knew they weren’t gonna start/play, and the recruits saw the competition and felt the same way.
Franklin can replace them, and does.
“Welcome to Big Boy football.
The Portal is over there.”
Within 2 more seasons, when 95% of the kids who didn't start go to the Portal ASAP, that thing will slam shut.
Schools don’t invest hundreds of millions in athletics just to let 19 year old kids turn it into an unmanageable waste of investment.
I’m more inclined to give them 6 years to play 4. If you can’t crack the lineup in 6, you need a degree, not a helmet anyway.
This shopping spree needs to end.

What he did was terrible and you shouldn't joke about it like that.I think they are nervous that Sandusky is getting released and going to be lurking around campus again.
Dude. That's about as off limits as a subject gets, for me..I think they are nervous that Sandusky is getting released and going to be lurking around campus again.
Your over exaggerating how many kids transfer because they cant play. I dont think it's that big of an epidemic the media just blows it up everytime it happens. There are way too many kids leaving to say oh they couldnt hack it so they left. They had 14 in the transfer portal on top of those who graduated this year. And some of those transfer would have played for sure. And these kids are 4 star kids they arent low to mid 3s who might not see the field. Something is wrong over their and it has nothing to do with the kids and if they see playing time.
Dude. That's about as off limits as a subject gets, for me..
Well they "recovered" because the NCAA removed sanctions, which was just...disgusting on many levels.Yeah - I shouldn’t have posted that. In poor taste. Agreed. Amazing how a school can recover so well from that.

I think it could actually work the other way...it could get tougher for the traditional powers to stockpile all the talented kids just to sit for four years.But ... Player “development” over time - that schools like IU have to EXCEL at to catch the “Historical Haves” - is at more risk. So schools need to manage better - find the kids who will stick.
Roster management is more of a pain than ever ... at least u til the toy gets broken.
It takes a mature adult to own their mistake ... some on this board would double down. Thank you for showing class ...
the NCAA dropped the ball with PSU, the sanctions did not fit the the negligence, poor judgment, and win at all cost attitude displayed by those that were supposed to be caring for those that needed it the most. I can get past a school giving $$$ to kids who brings in millions if not billions to the NCAA. It ain’t alright, but it sure doesn’t begin to compare to adults turning their back on kids, young kids, who will have to live with a lifetime of scars.
I know I’ve got on my soap box about this before, but I’ve worked in the system and know the pain and suffering that these kids and families have to live with. Pray that you and your family never have to experience it.
I got roasted for posting some sarcastic PSU stuff. Nice recovery. Respectfully.I’ve got a very, very twisted, warped style of sarcasm. It comes out at the most inopportune times. I do apologize for that one. I had a co-worker who was a Penn State grad and he was defiant about the sanctions. He never mentioned the offender by name but was outraged that Joe Pa took such a heavy burden out of all of it. He truly believed that nobody in the university ever knew about it through all the years. That really stuck with me.
Not a fan of Franklin,he and Dantonio are jerks in my opinion.Breaks my heart to see PSU losing talent. Truly, it does. Just some recruiting news mid-week. Good news, at that, imo.

Wait. "Tragedy is eventually comedy?" Nothing about what that asshole did is, or ever will be, funny. But oh, I got it. The fact that there are Sandusky jokes on the internet makes it ok. Just wow.Tragedy is eventually comedy.
Don’t beat yourself up.
Google “Jerry Sandusky jokes” - you are not alone.
Not to beat a dead horse, but Saturday Penn State lost ANOTHER 4*, OLB Derek Wingo de-commed. I'm sorry, but that's A LOT of attrition. Hard to believe that it could all just be coincidental.
Not only the decommits but PSU had a mind-blowing 15 guys who transferred out this spring to other programs and another 4 contemplating transfer. All were 3-4 star guys and while several went to smaller programs, it still seems odd. Really odd.
If the B1G office was run by anything but clowns, he might’ve gotten a nasty gram late last night. That dude really annoys me.James Franklin put on some old Vanderbilt gear and was seen in Omaha in Monday, cheering on his former school in the College World Series finals.
I’m sure that was well received in Pennsylvania.
Yeah, not cool when playing against a fellow Big Ten opponent.If the B1G office was run by anything but clowns, he might’ve gotten a nasty gram late last night. That dude really annoys me.
