Apparently James Franklin has said psu needs to be "creative" but not creepy while recruiting. Does it get any creepier than this?

More whining by Franklin

I also saw quotes today where he personally thanked miles sanders mom twice. Really strange "relationship " there. With Franklins creepy past and comments about hot wives, I wonder if Franklin pulled out the jimmy if you know what I mean
If you are the almighty UPS and the dominatrix, er sorry dominator, why do you need to be anything but yourselves recruiting??
Wow he looked like a pretty big d***bag running through the family.

Also said he was gonna kiss Toney on the mouth for not flipping to Pitt. Strange guy.
He should thank her. If not for her he may have been 0 for the year from the WPIAL and 0/4 for those on the Penn State party bus or whatever it was. She kept him from possibly being shut out.
If I were jimmy, I wouldn't use that word "creepy"
Because when I think of Ped State, creepy is a word at the TOP of the list!

He thinks Harbaugh is creepy now, wait till Michigan puts their collective foot into PSU's backside during the 2016 CFB season. The guy is a tool, and he has cemented having the score run up on them.
It will be a small miracle (for Pitt) if Franky is not fired after next season.
More of the hypocritical PEDO U bullshit..
When they lose on the field they do things the right way......
Kids who choose other schools either have grade issues, didn't meet the coaches requirements, or had character issues....
When UPS coaches talk about how dangerous Oakland is or Pitts coaching turn over.......that's facts......when other schools point out the issues at PEDO U......that's negative recruiting
I do enjoy watching them do their mental gymnastics trying to rationalize why their program continues to drift into mediocrity and Milk Dud over promises and under delivers

LOL at that video!!
Franklin looks like his name just got called to come on down as the next contestant on"The Price is Right"!
What a colossal ass clown. I feel embarrassed for everyone in that video.

It most certainly is very strange. Let's leave it at that......
Don't forget that they were offered a chance to play another position elsewhere that they just we're good enough to play at UPS.
We are in his head..... He has been reading our comments about "creepy valley"
His antics look worse when you consider Meyer and Dantonio only have to show up. Welcome to the big leagues James.
OSU, UM and MSU all had top ten classes.

lots of precedent for that sort of thing in Creepy Valley.
one could say he's picking up where others have left off up there. creepy indeed
One of our local fishwrappers ( newpaper) in the Lehigh Valley has a big picture of James with his staff cheering and high fiving on signing day. This paper is really in the bag for the Nitters.
The headline is: Franklin Gets Sanders a Five Star Recruit FROM PITTSBURGH Who He Recruited for Two Years.
They probably got instruction from Nitter Communication HQ to make sure you say Sanders is from Pittsburgh taking a shot at HCPN.
In the story it mentions James was on the phone with Sanders a lot Tuesday night and Wednesday so "to make sure his commitment was solid and to prevent him from talking to other coaches."
I can't wait for week 2 this coming season when we deliver a Nitter "beatdown."

Biggest hypocritical POS ever
But as both Smith and Franklin attested, it takes a special kind of player to not only stand by his original commitment when the big powerhouses like Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State and the like came calling.
“(It takes) a mature kid,” said Smith. “And that’s what we want at Penn State. We don’t want knee-jerk reactors, those kinds of kids don’t tend to do well here. They don’t tend to do well when you get into big moments in big games, and you’re in the fourth quarter and it’s fourth down and you need a big play. Life is a pattern in all phases of your life. So we want mature kids who can handle responsibility, and understand situations and make sure they can handle it in a professional and businesslike manner.
“I feel like Miles was incredible the whole way through.”
Franklin added that in the final six months or so of Sanders’ recruitment, their experience was less like recruiting and more like “a celebration.”
It also took considerable effort by Penn State, of course, because an 18-year-old kid is bound to be tempted by the big names in the current college football landscape, no matter how mature.
“We want to be up front and forthright, and sometimes that hurts us,” said Smith. “The biggest thing is communicating.

Gosh, they really are better than everybody else. Sounds like they will no longer be trying to flip other schools' recruits, a noble gesture. And when have they ever failed to live up to their self-proclaimed high ideals?
Could anyone see their mother or father letting this happen at their house for a football coach? What does it even accomplish? Have a celebration on campus; this is just a waste of time.
So did he just call out Givens and Bowers as knee jerkers and brand them as kids who won't do well there?
bingo..............or the kids he flipped this year from Temple and Rutgers..........dude talks out of both orifices.
Fortunately we have a new Sherrif in town that wont roll over and play dead like the last stiff
Here's two for you: Culture Problem
Wouldn't be a miracle, but a catastrophe. Keep him 4 life. ...like Sandusky's sentence.
Funny… In 2 yrs ole' JimmyH will be back in the NFL and UM will be back to sucking!
Lol. Another JOEBOT standard line. When another school has success against the pedobears their coach will either leave or is cheating. You clowns are so freaking predictable. Straight from the JOEBOT bible
If you knew anything about me, you would know that I am not a Joebot. (Ask mk). If Harbaugh stays at UM, great! Too me, that is not where his heart is. I think he wants to restore UM to prominence and then he will take the best NFL job available to him. JMO.

Just like Pitt got Shady McCoy and ran into record books in the NFL on Eagles Records and Offensive Player of the Year and was happy he Father brought him to Pitt and switched!
Fitzgerald too stayed with Pitt before and after going to a Prep School, and more Records in NCAA and NFL.
Now we have Whitehead, Hamlin, Miller and others to match up against Barkley, Sanders, and McSoreley, what a game to watch.
It will be interesting to see if Sanders can match Shady Records because the last 5 Star Recruit in Hackenberg couldn't wait to leave Penn State under Franklin?

Well, that is the crap Paterno Grand Experiment, Success with Honor and the Penn State Way spouted until Investigations revealed Penn State Players still Playing even while having Agents all season long buying suits until a Store Camera proved it and only then did not play in the Bowl Game? Or when another Players suspended by the University and did play all season and in Bowl Game and not reported after signing day? Or when there was no Athlete Code of Conduct or Athletic Integrity Agreement or AIA Officer, Title IX and Clery Act Violations of Non Reporting Arrests until 2012, and many more less Mature Players at Penn State?
Maybe the Players that did leave and Coaches were Mature too and did not want to get beat up badly by Half Time?
