Ha yea...Matt Flynn was the only real solid QB they have had in the past 7-8 seasons. I am curious to see what Mettenberger can do though.

Matt Flynn sucked at LSU.

He won a MNC and backed up the #1 overall pick before that. Hard to say he sucked.

Looks like Greg Reid will be looking for a new team.

[draftguru151]

I'm fairly sure sucky players have won championships before. Fortt to Cal.

He was clutch and a really good leader. Granted he did not put up huge stats but in no way did he suck.

21 TDs to 11 INTs with a baboon calling the plays. Hardly sucking.

Haplea to FSU.

Looks to be a blocking TE, what is good about this is that if needed, Dan Hicks could move back to DE for 2013 if Bjoern Werner leaves early.

I wrote this up for somewhere else but here are all the Penn State transfers thus far, nothing special really but...


Silas Redd - USC - RB is the easiest position to learn on a new team and USC has no legit starter and are poised for a NC run. If he has the kind of season we all expect, he could ride it straight into the first round and be the first RB taken next year.
Tim Buckley - NC State - Walk-on reserve freshman safety who went home to play.
Rob Bolden - LSU - He's been trying to leave since he came. LSU is actually a good fit for him and there's no way he was ever starting another game here anyway.
Jamil Pollard - Rutgers - NJ native that was legitimately torn between PSU and Rutgers, given what happened, not surprise he hopped back across the Delaware.
Khairi Fortt - Cal - Cal runs a 34 defense that features the LBs and Fortt should easily step into Mychal Kendricks (Eagles 2nd round pick) old spot. Fortt is super talented and likely would be a starter on any other team in the NCAA but we are LB U after all and he was poised to be the top reserve, not a starter. Now he gets to go be a 2 year starter.
Kevin Haplea - Florida State - This one was surprising. Blocking TE that would have seen a ton of action with O'Brien running the show. Probably wouldn't have been a starter though with Gilliam ahead of him this year and Brenneman likely being the starter next year. Not a big-time loss but it hurts our depth there and I doubt he'll see any more playing time at FSU than he would have here.

He was brought in for the niche role of a blocking TE, something we don't actually have as Nick O'Leary is a glorified WR, the Greek is a true freshman who is a receiving TE anyway, and Dan Hicks is a converted DE, who has shown promise as a blocking TE but is no guarantee. I doubt Haplea sees a lot of time at TE, but he wasn't brought into be a starter either.

Don't see it.

[Grizzlegom]

Maybe I'm just a homer but if Lattimore doesn't come out, I don't see any other guy that I would say is a shoe-in over Redd.

He's a solid back, but I just don't see first round qualities.

K/P Anthony Fera to Texas.

That was the one guy I wanted FSU to get, our Frosh P was outperformed in the Spring Game by a walkon.
