OT: D1

[SRU 88]

Former Slippery Rock OC Phil Longo is the new head coach at Sam Houston State.

I think that was his first stop (as OC) after leaving THE ROCK. Either a year or two after ROCK TE/Recruiting coordinator Zack Patterson went to Sam Houston as well.

Replying to multiple messages here but end of the day money talks.

Our schools don't pay much of it, either.

Will certain ones be looking? Hard to say. Would they listen? They all would.

[iupgroundhog]

He's been there for 27+ years at this point. I'd be surprised if he left. Clements/Mulrooney I think are attainable, maybe Jimmy T as well if he keeps the upward momentum at ESU.

I've always thought Jimmy T was an ESU lifer. No?

[Ram040506]

I wonder if Mini Me will get any interest after last weekend?

Norfolk State, which pryed Tony Atwater from the arms of IUP, has signed Michael Vick as head coach. Mike also had Sacramento State bidding. No schools with Dawgs nicknames though.

[IUPNation]

He was in a tough spot -- James Franklin said so himself this morning.

There's only so many P4 QB1 spots. Portal Season is in full swing. He will certainly have some suitors. If PSU keeps winning it could be another month before he hits the market. He won't be the last.

Well IUP DOES need a QB. It’s an upgrade education wise for him too.

😉

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Ii gotta think he's heard something. He's a Pa. kid who has always wanted to play for Penn State, so it's hard to believe he'd pass up a chance to be starter next year if he thought he had a clear path. As a playoff participant, he could get into the portal after the playoffs, but he probably is afraid most of the big schools will have their QB slots filled if he waits too long. Moss from USC has already gone to Louisville, and other guys have made the move.

ESPN reporting Allar is returning next year to PSU

[Ship69]

I think it's both. Allar hasn't said he's going to the NFL and there are reasons for him to stay. Everybody says the freshman is really good.

Do you think it's possible that Pribula isn't aware of Allar's intentions? I think that is unlikely.

The problem I have is that it makes him ineligible for this season's playoffs. Next year is next year.

If Allar leaves, Pribula's move makes even less sense. Reporter in PennLive speculated Pribula either heard Allar might stay another year, or that the freshman kid waiting in the wings is really good.

He was the presumed starter next year. Allar was going to the NFL most likely.

Penn State volleyball survived a terrific five set battle with Creighton to advance to the final four. They’ll face Nebraska, who looked scary in sweeping another B1G heavyweight, Wisconsin, in their regional final. Should be a tremendous doubleheader on Thursday night.

B1G depth in volleyball is unreal.
