Handing out playing time could be III's most difficult problem. It's a good problem to have vs. looking down the bench and going "jeez!"

"The staff wants to make a FF run" Ummm...shouldn't that be the goal of every staff every year? Depends on what horses you have. The staff may be realistic enough to know what they need to have a real shot I'm just saying that it's not some groundbreaking rationale as to why they're recruiting better. They're recruiting better because they want to make a Final Four run? NO WAY! SHOCKING!

I made the "FF run" comment in response to people wondering why we are still after 5 star bigs when we already have a couple of 4 star kids on board. The staff wants to load up on as much talent as possible.
For those still mentioning Comanche, stick a fork it, he's done. Unlike Rabb, he'd have to battle for playing time...that didn't appeal to him.

Most coaches want to load up on mediocre talent, so they look like geniuses if they have a good season.

Not according to some of the comments made on this thread. Take the time to read it.

I am salivating over this guy. He is truly a man child. 16 when the clips where filmed - he'll be 17 July 2014. Get all ours bigs and Nate when he comes to visit ( if he ever does)

Yeah - stuff is so easy for him that he doesn't look as skilled as he is. But remember, JTIII LOVES big men who can pass. That being said, I'd like to see a guard in the mix who's quick defensive and can pass.Why does this exclude you from that? Haha it doesnt.

@therecruitscoop: RT @jonrothstein: 2015 big man Georgios Papagiannis of Team Takeover (DC) will take an unofficial visit to Penn State today.
Btw, how is he ranked 25th in the country?
He's the highest ranking TTO kid by far but he's probably their 4th or 5th best player
