    PSU board doesn't agree, although there are a few level headed guys there too.

  • We now have good depth at RB, one more question mark eliminated. Make or break is going to be based on the D-Line.

    Rumor is that one of the incoming 2012 kids is going to be ineligible, opening up a 2012 spot.

    The easy answer is: still TBD.

  • Statement from Redd:

    This has obviously been a very busy, emotionally draining week for me and my family. As many of you know, playing football at Penn State has been a dream of mine since I was seven years old, and I will be forever grateful that this dream became a reality. This is the reason that the decision I have made is so difficult for me: I will transfer to USC to complete my education and my college football career, beginning in the 2012-2013 year. Penn State gave me a phenomenal opportunity to become part of a legendary football program. My teammates, my coaches – past and present – and the staff have provided me with a tremendous amount of guidance and support since I arrived on campus, and I can’t thank them enough for their time, their advice, and their friendship. They have given me such a strong foundation from which I can continue to grow.

    The Penn State community – including the Nittany Lions’ unbelievable fan base – has also been a huge part of my incredible experience over the past two years. I have grown tremendously as a person and a player at Penn State, and the support of the community and our fans has been a big part of the reason why. I also want to extend my thanks to the media, who have embraced me and my family over my entire football career, even before I began at the college level. I think it is important to say that this situation is not something that I wished for myself, but it has happened, nonetheless. My family and I have spent many hours in recent days trying to decide what will be best for me as I look to the future – both personally and professionally.

    We have weighed the pros and cons of staying at Penn State and leaving Penn State, attending USC and not attending USC, and I can honestly say that, ultimately, this decision is about so much more than football. I continue to have aspirations for my life, and as my family and I considered the bigger picture – both on and off the field – it became clearer to me that USC will be the best fit for my academic, athletic, and personal needs over the next two years. I look forward to future successes, and to the continued support of everyone around me.

    I think he counts now and room will have to be made on the 75 man roster.

    There's rumor of a non qualifier coming in and if not a former walk on will give up a scholarship.

    Yes he does. Rumor has it his scholarship will come from a walk-on losing his. Nice ethics Kiffin.

    He still needs to count towards a specific class. If the unnamed non-qualifier qualifies, someone in the 2013 class will have to get the bump.

    Still six months until NSD, so it's likely to happen organically.

  • Anything less than a BCS title game for USC would be considered a disappointment. Their offense is untouchable.

    Dipstuff how do you think a walk on got the scholarship? They were gift scholarships Kiffin gave to them and all the walk ons have released a statement saying they would gladly give up their scholarship for Redd.

    The WO also specifically said Kiffin told him up front that this was a year to year thing and he might need to return it in a number crunch.
