@BasicAppleGuy I really hope this is an indication of M5 incoming. I’ve been holding off on buying a mini.

@OhioTate Yikes. Nate Oates couldn't get a table at St. Elmo's and had to settle for Harry and Izzy's? Hate to see it.

@LandonTengwall Why did Franklin need to keep this secret? It should have been a recruiting pitch broadcast to all QBs. Instead it was treated as a state secret just like the weight room record board, which should've also been a recruiting pitch.

Virtual reality training is going to become so important for ALL positions, and the first coaching staff to recognize they need to get this for all positions, will be far ahead of everyone else
True skill acquisition comes from training in an environment in which you don’t know what the outcome is going to be. Sports are a game of “perceive & react” (ex: a Left Tackle has no clue what move the DE is going to make, he has to react to whatever the DE presents)
So if you can create endless “perceive & react” reps through virtual reality, you are working the most important aspect of skill acquisition and taking some of the physicality off of the athletes body

Penn State's QBs are using virtual reality this spring & they say it's "invaluable." "You’re in another world when you’re in that thing, like you’re actually taking the rep.” Story: insidethelions.substack.com/p/how-penn-sta…

@Doranimated Stop using AI to write your tweets and stop letting the assistant tweet for you. You're losing credibility with every post.

@timjosep @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 Word on 247 is Franklin pressuring the recruiting services to upgrade our commits' rankings wasn't just Maryland fans coping, but was actually a thing
English

@timjosep @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 I think our classes will still be ranked about the same in the end. I think Campbell's actual football coaching ability is 100x that of Franklin and his meddling with his assistants will be 1/1000th of Franklin's. Brock Purdy is a better nfl qb than all of franklins QBs combined

The whole “how many stars does he have?” reaction is starting to feel like outdated recruiting talk.
If that’s still your first filter, you’re probably not keeping up with where the game is now.
Staff evals, fit, and long-term projection matter way more. I’ve got a lot of respect for the recruiting service guys, but NIL has changed this and honestly, it’s better for the space, in my opinion.
Hey @MattWilsonDPP, how’d that work out for you guys?
Dylan Dawson@PSU_Dylan
Queue up *that* part of the fanbase to poke their head out & complain about another 3 star commit that will more than likely end the cycle as a blue chip recruit.
English

@tonygoatjas @timjosep @Mvillagr88 Ok. Believe what you will. We are not and will not be even close to being competitive w Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, or Indiana in NIL. And that's just the B10. Until Pegula decides to buy football players, we are average in NIL. Blaise Alexander isn't bankrolling a roster.

@brick295 @timjosep @Mvillagr88 James didn’t want to and James couldn’t are two different things. It was James didn’t want to. The second part of your comment is correct.
English

@timjosep @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 I'm not panicking about it because I think Campbell and his staff are going to focus on football players compared to Franklin who got too obsessed with track times. But I don't think we're going to compete for top 5 classes either. Although we never did under Franklin either
English

@brick295 @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 Yes, you are right. It all makes sense now on why we are getting the players that we are pulling in. We have No money to pay big recruits. Oh well. Will be happy going forward with 8-4 just like Iowa and Nebraska
English

@tonygoatjas @timjosep @Mvillagr88 "James didn't want to pay him." Aka we didn't have the money to pay him. Because we have to operate on a tight budget. Franklin budgeted to reward guys on the roster who don't play rather than budgeting for elite recruits that can be stars as true freshmen.
English

@tonygoatjas @timjosep @Mvillagr88 You just said it yourself: we didn't pay him because we couldn't afford it. Oregon has infinite money, we have average money. He's from a PSU pipeline and we were on him early. But we couldn't pay the going rate.
English

@brick295 @timjosep @Mvillagr88 Ask anybody in the know and they will tell you about the Finney situation. 100% could have had him. It’s no secret USC is spending at the top of the game rn and we definitely couldn’t match the Wafle offer. O’Brien situation i’ll let you find out for yourself.
English

@timjosep @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 They have mark cuban bankrolling them now. They're golden with NIL now.
English

@brick295 @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 Yeah, your info sounds legit. We don’t have a prayer going forward. Gotta have the cash to get where you need to go. And. O one should bring up Indiana as that’s a one off. They’ll be mediocre like us going forward

ALERT: ‘Gucci Mane’ kidnapped and robbed, DOJ says ‘Pooh Shiesty’ was arrested after his ankle monitor put him at the scene of the crime.
Lontrell Williams Jr, aka “Pooh Shiesty”, is on house arrest, and his ankle monitor's geo location puts him at the scene of the crime. His father, Lontrell Williams Sr, is alleged to have helped plan and execute crimes.
Rodney Wright, aka “Big30”, is alleged to have entered the studio and blocked any of the victims from exiting.
Some of the suspects were seen showing off the stolen items in social media posts after the incidents occurred.
The incident happened at a music studio in Dallas, Texas. 8 of the 9 suspects have been arrested.
English

@tonygoatjas @timjosep @Mvillagr88 Maybe if we weren't paying absurd amounts to Liam Clifford, Anthony Ivey, and Andrew Olesh, we could have been competitive with our offers for Finney and O'Brien, but we weren't.
English

@tonygoatjas @timjosep @Mvillagr88 What you just wrote is that we didn't have enough money to pay for those guys. Which was reported by every 247 and On3 reporter as it happened.
English

@timjosep @Mvillagr88 No he didn't. A reporter said we have $30M to pay the roster. About $15-16M of that is revenue sharing, the same amount every power 4 team has for football rev share. The differentiator is still boosters who are willing to bankroll NIL. We don't have those.
English

@timjosep @Mvillagr88 They all have 10000x the NIL money that we do.
English

@Mvillagr88 Ohio state, Georgia, Alabama, and Notre dame would say you are full of sh*t.
English

@timjosep @tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 They cost money that we don't have. See Brandon finney. See Luke wafle. See Joey O'Brien
English

@tonygoatjas @Mvillagr88 Why can’t we pull in recruits like these? And you want to be excited about a 3 star?
