If the staff likes and wants him then bring him in. Our WR situation is very much "throw **** at the wall and see what sticks." It's a total rebuild of the entire room.

We desperately needed transfer WRs. I just hope the number we are going after isn't indicative of the staff's opinion of the younger guys on the roster.

Not a bad get. Let's not act like our passing game was all world. Big benefit: he's an upper classman from a Power 5, who happened to be in the playoffs. He's a take all day. Now do I think DT is more important and we should be getting more beef up the middle? Absolutely, but you never turn down talent that can make you better.

How is he through the "A" gap?

You're underestimating Elko's determination to get stuffed running up the middle

Don't you mean running at the DE being blocked solo by the TE?

Beat me to it. At one point, 100% of the receptions in that game by PSU were by a TE. Not sure how it ended up, but nobody WR did anything.

---

That's how it ended. No WR made a catch for PSU in that game

I also follow Penn State football. Met my wife there and got my graduate degree there. (Don't worry A&M still my favorite and got my undergrad at A&M)

Wallace was the most frustrating player to watch. Has talent but too often would not fight for the ball. And in big games forget about it. Go look at how many catches he had against ND while playing a bunch of snaps in the playoffs (big fat 0).

He can improve but he was not good this past year.

---

In the few Penn State games I watched, I think the blame is placed in the wrong spot here.

Considering the entire WR group had a whopping 0 catches, I think it goes beyond just this WR as the issue.

Sarks 2nd & goal from the 1 slow developing toss sweep out of shotgun was one of the worse play calls I saw all year.

---

I agree terrible play there by Sark. Only surpassed by our two 4th down play against Texas.

Cool, I was wrong on my picks. Good call on OSU.

I still trust Wiggins ability to judge talent over posters here. All I'm saying.

---

The "i trust the coaches and not some random internet users" has failed so many times.

Sincerely,
Fran, Sherman, Sumlin, and Jimbo Fisher.

I guess I missed where the random internet poster built and managed a team.

He was the #1 WR at PSU, a team that made the semis and I think should have beat ND.

But if he was really good PSU would have done all they could to keep him.

He can be much better. Hope if he come here he puts it all together.

---

I know he was but you're acting like he won't be an improvement on what we had. At worst he would be on par with Noah which would be a huge plus.

---

You are acting like it is impossible to get anyone else?

I watched both play this year and Noah is a better receiver and better potential than Wallace, IMO.

You can point to stats or whatever but fact is Allar was a pretty good Qb during regular season (awful in their last) game). Noah would have been a #1 WR at PSU in 2024 and at least put up similar stats or better than Wallace did.

---

You may be overrating Allar a bit here. He is awful in big games. All of them not just ND. Against good power 4 teams this year PSU was 1-3 and Allar had 158.5 yards per game with 3 TDs to 4 Ints and about a 53% completion percentage. If he wasn't hitting Warren he wasn't hitting anyone. I guess when you see that it is the receiver's fault, but here when Noah Thomas doesn't put up stats it is the QB's fault?

There is also a huge chance he may not be capable of getting the ball to wide receivers. Keon Lambert-Smith went from Allar at PSU to a terrible QB situation at Auburn and doubled his TD production while gaining 308 extra yards. Wallace last year was similar to Lambert-Smith in 2023.

We get it, you know football and your wife went to PSU and you think Noah Thomas is better than Wallace. That doesn't mean Wallace would not be a great addition to our WR room.

FYI - I live in West Chester, PA and have for many years and also follow Penn St. football as does everyone around here.

I lived in West Chester on Dogwood Lane back in 1993-1995.

Going to need another WR or 2 if the news about Hudson that was quickly deleted on premium was true.

What news?

Nevermind I see the rumor he's leaving to focus on mental health.

That sucks. I hope he gets that ironed out for his own sake. I was sure he'd be the next Mike Evans too

That's about 5 minutes from me. I knew there was a reason I enjoyed your recruiting updates.

So does the rumor about Hudson have legs or not?

I haven't seen anything except from a random poster.

A couple of connected posters on premium seem to think there is real smoke to this

It's probably not true. I mean, our coaches know better than some random internet user

What? He is the head coach, and he hired the assistants. The buck stops with him. He alone could have changed any call or made any game time adjustments.

From what I know yes. But also it sounds like it's sort of like the moss situation from last year

MaroonRevival said:

Surely with our long history of wide receiver development this is a no-brainer for this kid…

---

If he had 0 catches in a playoff game, then this is the perfect place to continue his maturation.

Wow ... I wouldn't have believed this but I just looked and you're right. All TEs and RBs. That's got to be disheartening if you are a WR.

This can't hurt our chances

SOURCE: UNC is expected to hire Louisville WR coach Garrick McGee for the same role. The 51-year old McGee helped develop a very talented receiver room at U of L. @mzenitz first reported the move was in the works.

I'll be honest, I thought he was a longshot at first as it was rumored he had his destination pre-determined. Sounds like we are giving it a good shot. Could be down to us and Ole Miss. We will see if the WR coach at Louisville makes a difference or not.

Brauny said it's us and Louisville. Did that change to include Ole Miss?

They are supposedly getting a visit. We'll see if it happens.

Wallace to Ole Miss

Yep. Sucks but once they entered the conversation I was concerned. They have no issue spending the big bucks.


Who is going to be their QB?

Austin Simmons looked like an absolute stud, albeit in limited action this year. I think they'll be just fine

No Wallace
No Hudson
No ah

He's their lefty right?
