Story regarding PSU players who could end up in the Transfer Portal at the end of fall camp: Names mentioned were:
-The bottom two WRs of the depth chart, possibly Ivey & Sunders were names mentioned.
-OL Chimidy Onoh
-DB Lamont Payne
-#3 QB if it's Smolik

Do you have any other names you think we could see move on?

I thought the transfer portal was closed except for players who have graduated.

NCAA approves one-time transfer portal window: Why Power Four front offices don't expect notable entries

A new transfer portal window for eligible players opens July 7 and closes Aug. 5, but don't expect much marquee movement

www.cbssports.com

Unless any players were designated by July 6th, nobody is leaving save for walk ons that get the roster # down to 105.

I'm sure like most other rules, paperwork could be backdated. Outside of a curve ball we don't anticipate, I think our roster is our roster and I don't figure any of these players will be leaving until the winter portal.

OK, I thought they could enter their names after fall camp.

Interesting perhaps to think about but I think in poor taste. These young men have the season in front of them. This isn't the time to speculate on who might get passed over on the depth chart and hit the exits, particularly since parents and family read the sites.

I think we all realize that's what reporters do.

True, but they should understand that now is not the time for those types of articles. Now is the time for speculating on who might be breakout candidates or what positions could make improvements or have challenges replacing those who went to the NFL and who are possible candidates to take those roles.

I do check in there and blackshoediaries. They both have some decent things on occasion. But many of their articles are labelled with a weird inside joke format of "Only XYZ until Penn State football" or "Hyperlinking success ....". Maybe this harkens back to their early days getting started but it's just stupid IMO.

Yes. Maybe I should delete my original post.

It's fine IMO. If people were to start throwing tons of new names out there and took a negative tone, then maybe.

No worries bud. It's a daily exercise to keep up with all the rule changes.

 

[Old Siward]

I might be completely wrong about this, but didn't the judge rule that players currently on rosters at the time of the ruling could remain on the team even if the number exceeds 105? A grandfather clause or something?

Perhaps that was only until the final ruling/agreement?

Thanks for responding. Boy, getting old @#$%$. I somehow thought I read that the judge wanted to make sure players weren't just kicked off rosters all over the country. I guess if I'm still able to count to 105+, I'll know the answer in month.

 

[Lazy Dave]

I don't remember seeing that, but I do remember Franklin said he wasn't getting rid of anybody until he had to to be in compliance. It had been assumed, but I don't know if it's been announced or not.

Here is what I found regarding roster limits

Roster Limits, Not Scholarship Limits:
The NCAA is moving away from sport-specific scholarship limits and towards roster limits. This means schools can offer scholarships to any player on the roster, up to the roster limit, for schools that opt in to the settlement.

Football Example:
Football teams in Division I will have a roster limit of 105 players, up from the previous estimate of 80-130. This change allows for more scholarships to be offered, but also requires programs to potentially reduce their rosters.

Grandfathering Clause:
To mitigate the impact of roster reductions on current athletes, the NCAA has implemented a "grandfathering" clause. This means athletes who would have been cut due to the new roster limits will be protected and not counted against the limit for the remainder of their eligibility.

Opt-In Requirement:
The roster limit changes are mandated for the power five conferences and Notre Dame, and other schools can choose to opt-in, according to NCSA.

Potential Impact:
These changes will likely lead to a redistribution of athletic aid, with some programs increasing the number of athletes receiving scholarships while others may need to reduce their overall roster sizes.

Designated Student-Athletes:
Schools must identify and designate athletes who would have been cut due to roster limits. These athletes are then not counted against the new roster limits for their remaining eligibility.

Ah, there we go! So nobody has to leave. I'm glad they did this as we have a # of walk ons who probably have no desire to leave.

Thank you!

Great info. That clarifies the questions we had. Thanks.

Thank you for posting such a detailed account. Makes me feel as if my old brain might still have a few functioning marbles left.
