Message: [QUOTE="richmondcuse03, post: 5531020, member: 984"] I'll take the opposite end of this bet. I have zero concern with him going to Penn State. After he got hired, I heard him during an initial conversation with some donors and he made it clear that he had an axe to grind with Penn State. I think it has to do with him going head to head against them for most of his career recruiting but also being a Jersey kid overlooked by the traditional power in the northeast. I think he really wants to take down Penn State. I also don't think he wants to live in bumble PA, but that's more of a guess. I think this is all moot because Penn State is going after much bigger targets but even if they wanted Fran, I think he'd simply leverage to renegotiate a bigger deal here. Entering the year, I was far more concerned with Maryland suffering and making a change -- that's where the Big Ten resources scare me. Urban school. East coast. Core recruiting area. Etc. Checks a lot of boxes. [/QUOTE]
