The Blue Board

Forgive me for the enjoyment shitting on the Scarlet and Ghey provides. Sanctions wont be bad but even at their worst will we never lose to them like that. If I would have put up more recent scores of us beating them they'd say it never happened of course.

Agreed on Freeze at Ole Miss. Tulane being up there surprises me as well. I'm anxious to see how they do in the future and with some more "surprises" likely to come there way.

IU is quietly building a solid football program, they are going to be a tough team on future schedules. Nice Job Hoosiers.

They will always be a Basketball school. One solid class does not make a program. Wake me when the consistenly do it.

However, when you wake me I will be excited. A good Indiana is awesome.

Where I'm from top heavy is a good thing.

JC...great write up

One thing i would have included is how surprising it is that m*chigan can't sign any playmakers, and how they think players named Taco and Butt will lead them to national prominence. I would have had them at #3 on the "surprise" list. Of course, I'm a little less biased than you are, so I understand.

Love seeing Tulane get some good pub. Nice looking out JC. I also hear that they are going to close very very strongly. I can see them finishing in the 30/40 range. Would be awesome.

PSU already has a lot of talented 2014 kids interested, and things are only going to get easier recruiting wise as the bowl bans become less of an issue for each class.

THIS!

The 2014 recruiting class and outcome of our 2013 football season will be the tell all tale as far as I'm concerned. If we can land a few top rated guys again in our 2014 recruiting class and win at least 8 games next season, I think all will be fine for PSU during the sanctions. We were practically already operating on that 65 scholarship limit this past season. Granted we had a phenomenal senior class that was HUGE in our overall success. Hopefully we have more young leaders like that step up in the coming years.

That's solid right there. Well played.

Thats what I was thinking too. I dont see you guys signing many highly rated guys next year but I'd say 2015, and 2016 you guys could.

Reason I say that is, 2014 the kids can only go to 1 bowl game (if PSU makes one anyways) and IMO is going to be rough for you guys soon.... only have 65 guys is going to kill you depth and ability to sign everyone the other big programs do.

But 2015, and 2016, you can sell 2-3 bowl games, playing time right away and playing with a good QB (Hackenburg, if he pans out) Not to mention BoB.

Your right, I was mistaken. Most of PSUs transfers were back ups anyways from what I remember. I'm not sure how many seniors you have but I think it's a pretty good amount

(I obviously dont know the ins and outs of PSU, so this will be my last post on the subject haha)

Currently, I believe that PSU has only 6 scholarships they can give for the 2014 class before they hit 65. Now, we all know that it is very unlikely that we will not have a kid transfer or leave early. I'm guessing we will have around 12 scholarships to give when it is all said and done. Our ranking will not be very good, but in these sanctioned years, the more important thing to look at is star average. If we get 12 quality recruits (3 star and above), that will be a big thing moving forward.
