Penn. St just got Lilledahl a 125 ranked number 2 on the 2024 Big Board. That goes with numbers 5, 6, 8, 9, and 18. What did we just pull in a guy that is not rated. Our staff's response to our horrible showing at Nationals so far seems very poor.My guess is that both Roller #62 and Giddens #72 will move up the rankings by this time next year. We need to start going after some of the Gilroy boys and use our Cormier connection. There are a lot of sneaky good ranked kids in that program right now.
Yeah we definitely can compete with their recruiting and developmentNo one is catching Penn State anytime soon, it seems
We aren’t even trying, it seems.No one is catching Penn State anytime soon, it seems
It is hard to compete when one team is getting all the ranked kids. The rest of the country has 5 top 10 kids spread out across it and PSU has 5 in their program. OSU isn't the only one who can't keep up. It is hard to hold this against OSU as some sort of failure. PSU is on a terror right now.Penn.

The failure isn't that we haven't caught PSU, it's that we haven't even tried. Iowa is at least doing something - RTC, transfers, NIL, new facilities. John has done nothing except cling to the 1990s.It is hard to compete when one team is getting all the ranked kids.

I don’t want to hear this Bs excuse. We can’t even develop them when they get here and keep them out of trouble Thompson is already on last strike and thin ice. Tired of the Bs excuses and People need to be held accountable for the shit show2023 class has three guys in the top 10 coming to OSU but ok.

That was me that posted that we aren’t trying, but I wasn’t referring to “recruit top level guys.”Ok... I don't disagree that there are a lot of excuses and a lot of them are BS. Development hasn't been great.
But to say that they're not trying to recruit top level guys is disingenuous. They obviously are. Stating a fact... that the staff pulled in three top 10 recruits in the class of 2023... is not an excuse.
Honestly I put this on the AD.If he can’t recognize the downward trend and make a change then why would John want voluntarily leave a 500k gig.That was me that posted that we aren’t trying, but I wasn’t referring to “recruit top level guys.”
I was referring to the thought that we aren’t even trying to improve our situation and challenge for a title.
-John Smith still hasn’t addressed the fan base outside of the tournament media. That is gutless, ignorant or arrogant. It dang sure doesn’t help build our program.
-No staff changes
-No big transfer news
Our program is stale and John Smith is becoming an injuring force.
Because John Smith is a winner and a legend. He knew when to put his shoes center mat, he needs to know when to put his whistle there with them.Honestly I put this on the AD.If he can’t recognize the downward trend and make a change then why would John want voluntarily leave a 500k gig.
