And now it begins. EVERYONE PANIC!
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:12 PM ^
Welp, guess Franklin sure got the better of us this time.....

Penn State: Suck it, Michigan. We stole your walkon.

Zack Kuntz, who is a 2018 top tight end. He's also a Penn State legacy, so it's not like keeping Shuster would have helped.

Can't blame him; it's what, $44K for out-of-state tuition at Michigan?

Sure, but if the other 15 QBs pitched in the kid could attend for like $4K...

Mary Sue don't care.
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:58 PM ^
I don't blame him, either. I am guessing he sees an easier path to a scholarship at PSU than he does at Michigan. As others have noticed, there's some serious money at stake here.
February 2nd, 2016 at 10:40 PM ^
Not at all, I wish him best of luck. He's from Camp Hill, PA and he'll pay instate tuition at PSU.
Good luck, young man!
February 2nd, 2016 at 10:45 PM ^
In state tuition at penn state is like 35k a year. its not like its a cheap school to attend...
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:12 PM ^
Or is he PWO there also?
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:16 PM ^
He appears to be a PWO there also because 247 lists him as a PSU commit but does not list him as having an offer there. I assume that it is in some way related to the quasi-hello post about Peter Bush a couple of days ago (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/pwo-athqb-peter-bush-newport-beach-ca), but I didn't include it in the post because 1) that's just my speculation rather than based off of any information, and 2) I didn't want to generate more freak-out about recruiting tactics when there's no reason to believe anything bad happened.

Remember, Shuster is from Pennsylvania. He will be paying in-state tuition at Penn State vs out-of-state at Michigan. Residency is not an issue for scholarship athletes becuse they don't pay tuition. But for a walk-on, we're talking about tens of thousands of dollars here.
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:40 PM ^
PennLive article confirms he'll be a preferred walk-on at PSU.

Ranking than Rutgers
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:16 PM ^
Either way, quite a tuition savings. Can't blame the young man and wish him well.
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:16 PM ^
Got to celebrate anything you can over there these days.

DAMN!
We're down to 12 quarterbacks now!
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:23 PM ^
1) definitely cheaper for him
2) given their tire fire of an OL, he'll eventually see the field at PSU. Hope he enjoys 1.23 seconds to get off a pass
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:39 PM ^
He played not too far from where I live, and I saw parts of three of his games this season. His stats might show yards and TDs, but picks...he throws 'em.

Penn State will need him. Their class is falling apart.
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:29 PM ^
I can't blame him, Penn State is pretty much QB university ever since Matt McGloin.
February 2nd, 2016 at 6:35 PM ^
LOL @ your avatar. I was watching that movie the other night. "I bet you're thinking because of the beard, I'm pretty hairy. Nope. Completely shaven." "Alan!!!!!"

Relax... it was just one of Crystal's Ballz to Clemson, and by a Domer at that. Nothing to see here, move along....
