Looks like he might be flipping to PSU today after all. If they get him that should pretty much assure a top 10 finish in recruiting this year.

I think we finish with Cross, Jones, and maybe a Franklin surprise recruit. Should be a good day!

Cross is a weird case, I've read multiple reports that he wanted to go to Florida State but his parents said "no".

If those reports are true, do we want him if his heart is elsewhere (analogy thanks to Valentine's Day coming up)?

if he wants to go to Florida State I'm sure he'll go to Florida State, I doubt it's the case where his parents are forcing him to go elsewhere. they probably just have a strong opinion about him not attending Florida State.

in the end, it is his decision and not theirs.

I guess it all depends on how close he is with his parents.

You can be very close with someone, and still disagree with them on what is best for you. He'll make up his own mind, regardless of how close he is with them. It's his life, there's a difference between being close with someone and letting them control you.

In the end, it's now being reported he may not sign today.

Agreed Roam, big decision for him. Thanks for the update.

So what does that mean??  won't sign today?  How big of window does he have to make his decision, and what if he misses that window, then what?

 

Another question for those in the know - how do these portal tranfer players get categorized and the Juco transfers too?  If a Juco comes in and has 2 years eligibility left, does he count against this years recruiting cap of 25 players, or since he's a junior, does he go against the 2016 recruiting class?  Same question for grad transfers - are they part of the 25 total, or can those be added at anytime assuming we have available schollies for them?

Do we get to replace all the guys that transferred out with new recruits or is 25 the most you can sign regardless how many transfer out?

I believe graduate transfers do not count for any class, only against your total 85 scholarships. However, I do believe that juco players count against your 25 per year.

Disappointed that considering the number of players PS lost in the portal, they didn't pick anyone from the portal.

I kinda see it this way MB, the transfer portal is like a brothel, there are a lot of choices in the parlor to choose from but when you really analyze the choices, there are only really maybe 1, 2 or 3 worth considering. At least that's how one of my shipmates described a brothel to me. I wouldn't personally know.

And this is coming from a "blue water sailor?" Lol

Hey MB, even the blue water guys need to get their barnacles scraped off every now and again. What used to make me nervous was, when one of my "Boomer" friends used to say, "if you're under way, it ain't gay".

It works different for transfers, most didn't declare today and they may not declare for a while. Of everyone in the portal, about 2/3rds of them are still listed as undecided. I wouldn't be surprised to hear a lot of names come off the transfer portal in the coming weeks. Who knows, maybe we'll get one or two of them.

Ha....at my age I have trouble finding my dinghy let alone scraping off barnacles.  As far as how I feel??  Some days I feel like 20lbs of sh*t shoveled into a 10 lb bag and other days I feel like I've been shot at and missed and sh*t at and hit.  

But seriously, im doing much better.  Getting my wind and strength back more and more each day.  Been walking the roads a lot and even strapped on the snow shoes for a quick trip into the woods.  When I say quick, i mean like maybe a quarter to half a mile round trip and that was about it.  Thanks for asking bud, appreciate it.

Yeah, off topic and surely the wrong message board.
