Well if I gotta pick only one I take the guy at the top...

But yes, James from State College is an excellent recruiter. Him v. Chryst was a laughable mismatch in that regard. Narduzzi has done pretty good in recovering from a class in the mid-80s to just inside the top 50. Next year will be telling because Pitt more than UPS has to do well in-state. The times when the programs were on relatively equal footing was when Pitt was recruiting UPS tough in-state.

No, the Pitt cliq doesn't make a point of coming into this thread and taking watery dumps in it. The reverse isn't true even though "not our rival", "don't care about Pitt", blah blah blah. I responded to UPS MIMH calling me out by name, so it's admittedly my fault, but even then it was to compliment their coach and program.

Figured I'd put this here instead of responding to Rocco's post in the Pitt thread so as not to get the Pitt clique's panties in a bunch.

That puts Penn State as the 12th ranked recruiting class in the country for 2015.

Should have picked a better team to poach players from, could have been top 10.

Not sure what to think. He is a 3* recruit but I was hoping that O-lineman from Stanford would transfer to help solidify the line in 2015 even if its for 1 year.

Would he be considered a scholarship player since he would be a graduate student? Are schools even able to offer athletic scholarships for graduate students?

I think so, as long as they have eligibility left. Didn't Urschel start working on his masters degree while he was still here?

Looks like they may have landed the transfer from Stanford.
