It doesn't seem like we end up getting a lot of fall back recruits, seems like they always end up going somewhere else
PSU recruits
- Thread starter NeilDiamond
- Start date

Hopefully we can get back on Malik and Akeel Lynch.
I'd think that for a guy like Akeel in particular the opportunity to come in and play, possibly start, immediately would appeal to him with no hear apparent starter.

He'd be a nice pick up. I assume, given his 2013 class designation, that he wouldn't be able to come in immediately but certainly we can use all the help(especially guys with size) we can get ASAP. Love to get another quality DL for 2013, though.

My thoughts exactly. If you want to play immediately...we have needs.

PSU's O'Brien said that only three coaches have called him, as a courtesy, to let him know they'd be recruiting his players. Ferentz was one of them.
Some PSU kids are said to have over 50 offers to transfer. Also, there's head coaches waiting in the PSU athletic parking lots to talk to kids.
Seems unseemly.

Be a pretty easy sell for Obrien. You can either stay here and play in front of 108k and not go to a bowl or you can go there and play in front of 40k and not go to a bowl.

I was thinking the same thing. If you want to leave PSU to play in the post season then why would you go to Illinois?

Several opposing coaches have been spotted in State College, including a sizable group from Illinois.
Opposing coaches staking out PSU players - Big Ten Blog - ESPN
From ESPN.com's latest news story:
[Penn State head coach Bill] O'Brien and his colleagues walked past a group of six coaches carrying University of Illinois bags and suitcases. A Penn State official told ESPN.com that no words were exchanged between O'Brien and the Illinois contingent. O'Brien declined to identify the players who have been offered up to 50 scholarships, but Illinois assistant athletic director Kent Brown acknowledged a group of Fighting Illini coaches are on Penn State's campus to recruit "a player or two -- maybe more."
Needless to say, Illinois coach Tim Beckman will be asked about this "strategy" on Thursday at Big Ten football media days. While some will say recruiting is recruiting and Penn State players are all fair game, it doesn't seem right to have opposing coaches staking out Nittany Lions players like this.
An Illinois spokesman told ESPN.com that athletic director Mike Thomas has contacted Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner about the Illini's intentions.

Matt Trabold @trabsmatt Forgot to say Fri. spoke w/ Buff. radio personality at Bills Camp that talked to Akeel Lynch's HS coach. He said leaning towards returning.
