Nice to see the young CB's (Thomas and Johnson) and LB's (Arrington and Smith) listed. A couple other players that didn't seem to make any formal announcement also listed. Freshman WR Samuel, OL Harbour.
Here is CLE, many are freaking out that 30 tOSU players hit the portal. And they didn't have a head coaching change.
I'm going to add to the new portal commits thread if you don't mind.
Oregon is starting to lose a lot now that they are out as well. Our fans freaked out but this is the state of "college" football now.
Great to see the new coaches bring in bigger WR's. I found it hard to understand why Franklin and his WR coaches brough in so many 6' and under WR's after all the success of ARob, Godwin, Blacknal and others earlier during Franklin's PSU tenure.

yeah they essentially trade their top TE recruit from last year, who entered the portal, for Olesh.
Indiana is the model, but I don't know if Lanning knows how to replicate it. I believe CMC gets it.
Maybe not enough money left for a player that likely got top dollar. Porter, with the other WR's Campbell has lined up, might have gotten the PSU WR's on a par with Uh-high-ya once Jeremiah Smith moves on.
I'm sure Porter got paid well. We may have too many positions to fill to pay that. It would be nice if we saved room for one 1 or 2 difference makers at positions like WR, DE, DT.
We may already have the difference makers at DT and possibly DE. The 3 incoming DT's all have good size and two of them are 5th year+ players. At DE the top players are likely to be Granville and Kemajou. There looks to be room for another player at DT and maybe 2 at DE, and in looking at the 247 listings of top players at each position there seem to be a good many talented players still not committed but there haven't been any leaks about them visiting PSU.

Interesting lineup.
Change 1st and 2nd team to Primary Rotation and it works for me. Brahmer, Bacon, Peoples, and Eskildsen will make big plays, but the rules say only eleven guys at a time.
Sucks for Tatsch to be 2nd team behind no one. I kid. But am I the only one seeing that?
It's likely because whoever made that depth chart believes that Campbell will bring in the starter at that position before the end of the portal session. It's the same for one of the 3 WR's starters where he has Howard and Sewell as starters but an empty spot for the 3rd WR starter. The top part of the 2 deep on offense is cut off in the post here, but if you go to twitter you see all the positions.
