Knee injuries are always tough. I hope Dumont recovers for his own sake.

Go Rockets!

I thought he had a broken leg. What type of a knee injury was it? At least it happened in the first game - which was in November, but it provides a fair amount of time for healing and rehab. Mental recovery is the most important. Needs to be assured he is healed to avoid the fear of re-injuring it. Been there - more than once. That takes the longest to heal from.

Never had knee injuries. But I’ve had shoulder replacement. Don’t ever do that until it’s the very very last option. Oh man that takes so long and it’s so painful and stressful. You can’t even sleep laying down for weeks. I’m healed now but will never be the same. But my injured shoulder was waking me up at night so it had to be done.

I think it is a broken leg. Mis-speak (lolol) on my part.

I would rather have a broken leg unless it was a complete fracture

Time to welcome in another P5 transfer, Judge Culpepper, a 6'4" 290 lb. DT from Penn State. Another Plant (FL) HS product coached by our QBs coach Robert Weiner. Culpepper earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in both 2019 and 2020. He had over 30 P5 offers out of high school.

It definitely shows Candle and these new coaches need and should receive another year as their ability to recruit. And the improvements over what was a terrible couple years. But I honestly feel we need an offensive coordinator to get this team to a league championship. I see good things ahead.

Can we find some offensive linemen??

Yep...another Plant kid He was a senior when my son was a freshman. His dad is Brad Culpepper...played DT for the Gators, then the Bucs and Vikings in the NFL. Coach Weiner is getting it done!

Sports Illustrated even did a feature article back in July on our new transfer:

Meet Judge Culpepper, Penn State's Most Interesting Man in the World

https://www.si.com/college/pennstate/col...-culpepper

24/7 have all three of the transfers added to this class.This puts the total to 27 . But would they actually be considered part of the class they were originally recruited for

This signing fillS the DT spot vacated by Gaige Hill

Go Rockets!

I predict new menu items on the training table.

I am 100% sure that these new portal transfers are not incremental to our 2021 class rating.

We still have a great class and lets see what happens in Feb. Are we full or not? An additional player could be brought in. It will be an RB or OL.

In theory Culpepper has three years of eligibility if he and UT elect to go that way. He was a RS soph in 2020. Which means he has at least 2 seasons at UT and possibly 3 due to Covid eligibility roll back.

Must love the barbeque!! Eat on

New commit reported on twitter. 6'1 200 ATH Chris Gales from Cleveland Benedictine. Appears to be a PWO. 247 shows his only offer as from Akron.

Moral: Better to be a PWO at Toledo than a scholarship player at Akron

12 days for February signups. Does anyone have an idea if there are any hidden gems ready to sign?

Does anyone know if our early enrollees have arrived yet? And if so, who they are?

Not sure.... possibly no more but could be two.

Needs: OL , RB, LB
