PSU players staying?

[DexterMorgan]

Agreed. If Redd jumps to USC, which he really should if he wants to be a top draft pick, his departure could be the first domino to fall.

Redd has said that he is staying at PSU and declaring for the draft after this season.

He's a fool, then. He would get far more exposure on the West Coast.

He will get drafted and will play in the NFL, he was never going to be a top draft pick so sorry it really doesn't matter if he plays this year at PSU or USC.

I really don't blame him. That's like leaving your family.

 

[DexterMorgan]

I guess there isn't really anything solid on Redd yet. Here's what's going on in the twitterverse.

In chronological order.

Has there been a TV ban on PSU football. Cause I think plenty of people will want to watch PSU to see what happens.

Chris Elsberry ‏@elsctpost
Some 30 Penn State football players just reaffirmed commitment to the program. Apparently Khairi Fortt and Silas Redd weren't two of them.

Kevin McGuire ‏@KevinOnCFB
As @GerodOzone points out, Silas Redd may not have been there for team statement because he is heading to Chicago for B1G Media Days.

McGloin saying he is staying at PSU is like me saying I have decided not to run for President of the United States.

Come on. There's a SBC or MAC team out there at which he could compete for the starting QB job.

 

[David79]

Shouldn't we support them staying at PSU. I mean isn't the whole point to change the culture of college football?

 

[David79]

I wouldn't be making fun of McGloin too much, he did beat Iowa.

 

[spudhawk]

BOB just said Ferentz contacted him and said he will listen to PSU players if contacted on Mike and Mike.

 

[DexterMorgan]

BOB just said Ferentz contacted him and said he will listen to PSU players if contacted on Mike and Mike.

how'd that come up? Did they ask who all had contacted him?

 

[DexterMorgan]

So they're saying 2 dozen players reaffirmed their commitment today. So does that mean 60 of them are looking to transfer?

 

[CPHAWK82]

Listening to Bill Obrien on M&M. He says Kirk has called him to inquire about players among many other coaches.

Yes Golic asked him if he had been contacted by any coaches and it sounds like only 3 or 4 coaches have spoken to him, the rest are just poaching which is legal.

Probably either have decided to transfer or haven't made up their minds.

 

[DexterMorgan]

Probably either have decided to transfer or haven't made up their minds.

I should have said "keeping their options open". That seems like an incredibly large number.
