Every outsider will see a highly ranked guy in PA and assume we "lost" him. I think that's the most annoying thing on the internets when it comes to recruiting. Now Stokes, he is someone we lost.

I don't think anyone meant to make it sound like PSU "lost" anybody...but it's fair to say that the staff would definitely like to have some of these PA guys that are pledging/looking elsewhere. I don't know the dynamics of the PSU/Gateway relationship and if things are strained after last year or whatever, but I would have to imagine the PSU staff would take Dorian Bell in a hot second if he wanted to come to Happy Valley. Now, if he chooses to go elsewhere, I don't look at that as a loss for the PSU staff. But I do wonder about the holes in the fence around Pennsylvania...are kids getting away that the staff really wants or is PSU focusing more national/regional and thus allowing a lot of kids from in-state who would otherwise love a PSU offer to have to look elsewhere?
