This tweet makes it clear that Cabinda is definitely listening to their pitch. He hasn't shut down his recruitment. That's not good. I believe that those five additional scholarships that PSU gets are for next year, not this year. But the numbers must have been worked out somehow for PSU if O'Brien is extending an offer to our guy.
No need to panic yet. He's still a commit. I'd like to see the coaches get him up for Clemson, though.
In general, I worry less about LBs and RBs. There are more good ones out there at these positions than there are at others. Over the years, I rarely remember our season being derailed by poor running back play or poor linebacker play. We've had some problem spots at those positions over the years (Dumas, Mele, and Flaherty earlier this decade come to mind at LB and even in our worst years, it seems like we've had good tailbacks), but usually when a team goes south it's because of horrendous line play or QB play or defensive backfield play (I still have nightmares of O'Neil Scott getting beat deep).
