OT: Name one recruit you had a legit shot with who you missed and wish you wouldn't have
- Thread starter kjb32812

I said someone you had a realistic shot at.
It's my make believe scenario so I can pick anyone I damn well please. I'll go with Hackenburg. You stick to your make believe scenario, I'll stick with mine. So there.:chairshot:
P.S. How come Spanky didn't get called out for the Joe Montana pick, Teach? This is bullsh*t.
As OP is a Penn Stater, the obvious response is Saquon Barkley as he was originally committed to RU. I love our RBs, but Barkley is on another level.
Tyler Matakevich - heard we would have easily had him if we wanted. He was a great college LB and a lunch pail guy.
Interesting thread. The Barkley flip would sting more if Hicks and Martin weren't so solid. Two good names have been mentioned in this thread in Skai Moore and Shilique Calhoun - to add another Mackensie Alexander was a high pick in the draft and he had us as his leader late in the process before choosing Clemson.
I knew Tyler from high school. He didn't even get offered as a recruited walk on
Yeah, I will go with a whole list of WRs
Blacknall and Njoku come to mind....and last year Wright and Mack

Myles Jack. He ended up at UCLA. He plays in the NFL for Jacksonville now.
Not sure why posters have such a hard time recognizing that this was a sincere thread. And even if it wasn't, who cares? Have some fun with it, and stop being so insecure.
Gerald Hodges was one. That stung. Glen Carson too that same year. We did get 2 goods ones in Steve Beauharnais and Kas Greene. (Not sure if Greene was the year before.)
Skai Moore is up there. But, not getting Calhoun stung more seeing what he turned into. I was indifferent at the time, but he really developed in college.
Corey Clement and Barkley also, but agree we have 2 very good RBs with Hicks and Martin...and Sneed is getting a lot of positive pub as well.

Disagree. This was a good miss for us.
Overrated and if he came here and absolutely sucked as he did in every big game he played in at Bergen then people would say "he shouldve went elsewhere hes bad because hes at RU". Very very very glad we missed on him
OP should go back the the mainboard where he loves bashing RU only to come here and play nice.
OK that's one way to look at it. Reports out of Tennessee are that he's looked amazing. His personal highlights are going to be shown on sportscenter every week, and we can be glad he's not here.
Not sure I read this right but I heard that the great PITT and NFL running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward wanted to play for RU but the Board of Directors wouldn't admit him (grades/SATs)
Maybe, but there is a big difference between camp/ practice setting and when the lights come on and you have to worry about a 250 pound LB taking your head off.
He always looked good in practice and when the team was behind. As the other poster said, he usually came up short in the big Bergen games. I hope the kid well, but I don't think we will miss him. He was very injury prone.
My issue with Blacknall coming out of HS (and even in the all star game) was that he never fought for a ball. If there was a 50/50 ball, a jump ball etc. he never got it. When he was open he was OPEN and caught the ball but he never seemed to have that fight in him at WR. To me ( and this is just from my recruiting experience at the D1AA level) he did not seem to want to be there playing. He always just seemed to go through the motions. He has tremendous potential though. And I agree big year for him to show what he has.
I think Guarantano was over rated in HS, is over rated now, and until proven otherwise with on field success, I will continue to think that.
I forgot that but you're right.....I remember reading Dick Anderson saying he's not going to argue with a bitter 17 yr old kid over Ironheads dismay.....I remember my HS team ''Belleville'' playing against him in ''81'' I think and beating Passaic 3-2 i believe and it took half the team to bring him down...I think they PHS was 1st or 2nd in the state SL poll and my school 5th or 6th !?!...Great memories..he would have been awesome here...unfortunately he passed away young...in his 40s!!!
After Brian Toal, heyward is right up there with Peppers as the second best high school player I've ever seen.
And Before you go nuts I said high school player. It was clear peppers had the most college potential. But if you saw Toal play live you would have agreed he was an all-time high school beast.
Blacknall should be pretty solid this year. I don't think he has the best in the air catching ability or whatever but he is a big fast target and it looked to me in the spring game like he has started to figure things out.
