Berge

Genuinely surprised by this. Happy, but surprised. He's joining a crowded room with a lot of talent around his weight. It'll be interesting to see how the lineup is juggled. That Kemerer guy will do great for you the next 4 years...plenty of time to get another one.

Man alive. How little money are these kids willing to take? this must be an even tougher blow for Minny then us, since he's another local great to leave, but still, it sucks.

PSU has taken recruiting to a completely new level. We're simply being outworked on the recruiting trail by too many schools. Good luck to Brady and congrats to PSU. He will be their 149 when Zain graduates.

My reaction if we don't get Warner either.

Not a need weight for the next 4 years. I don't think a kid as highly regarded as him was interested in only starting for 2 years.

I'd pay money for a legit breakdown of how psu can even do this regarding scholarship money and the amount of top ten guys they bring in. No slush fund jokes. No "for the good of the team" crap.
Just something that makes somewhat a bit of sense.

You can give a 70% scholarship to 14 guys, which means there really is more than enough money to give several people big chunks of money. You throw in academic money, wealthy families, and about a million other factors, and you can make it work. The trick is not giving too much to people that aren't going to see the lineup

Warner is the *more important* recruit given his weight range, but this a blow. Can't be spun any other way.

Ok. Let's say Berge got 70% which I find hard to believe considering the guys psu already has and have coming in.
70% of out of state tuition at psu is still $14,000 per year. multiply that by 5 years (redshirt) that's roughly $70,000
70% at Minnesota with in state tuition is roughly $4,500 per year which is about $22,500 after 5 years.
That's the difference between paying off your student loans in 15 years or 30 years.

It's complete conceivable that his remaining tuition could be paid in other ways including his parents.

What's this loans and tuition stuff? Slush fund! Slush fund! Slush fund! Stay on point.

His parents have $0 to contribute towards college? I guess he should be pretty upset with them for being irresponsible.

I really don't know where this notion that every parent helps pay for their college tuition comes from. Mine didn't and neither did just about every student I knew. Most of us were lucky to get some groceries once a month or a $20 over christmas.
I worked on the side. A lot of guys I knew worked full time jobs on top of full time college.

Then he can suck it up and make his decision. I'm not his parent, friend, or neighbor. Good grief

With the genes in his family I still say no way he is at 149 season after next. For what ever that's worth.

The comment wasn't meant to start a who should pay for college debate. The point is that there is enough money in the 9.9 to give out large chunks of money to quite a few kids, and that we have no idea how much debt if any Brady will personally incur from making this decision. I'll edit the previous post to reflect this

Yeah, with that # of high recruits they aren't all getting 70%. It is quite amazing how they can slide all this money in there.

Unless you have something to share with the class, I don't think YOU know why he didn't choose Iowa. He preferred Penn State as much as that sucks.
