I think the nose tackle you’re referring to was from Aliquippa. He was a monster in the middle and I thought he was going to be great.

held a PSU offer
There were some awesome football players in that list that extremely lightly recruited.
The only players in that list that would have been bona fide starters for PSU would have been Baldwin, Pinkston, and maybe Nix or Dickerson.
Dave had 1 good class locally. The rest were 2-3 star guys that PSU/OSU/ND never came after.
Like I said - DW was slightly better in recruiting then DW when it came to local talent.
Some of these guys on this list are Walt guys - Revis, McKillop, Gunn..
The same problem that DW had keeping kids from PSU/OSU/ND/etc is magnified 10x under Duzz.
See, I don't know if I believe that. For instance, the profile for the very first guy on the list claims a PSU offer:
https://247sports.com/recruitment/scott-mckillop-47507/recruitinterests/
Penn State only offered six WPIAL guys in seven years when they were a worse program than they are now and when the WPIAL was actually respected? No way I'm buying that.
PSU offered and landed more then 6 players. We only landed 6 guys that held PSU offers that's the difference.
I do not remember for an instance that Scott was offered by PSU. Even 247 doesn't mention it in his timeline. Rivals said he did not have an offer. In 2004, PSU offered Dan Connor, James Bryant, Dan Lawlor, Tyrell Sales, and Chris Rogers as far in-state players. They landed everyone except Bryant who went to Miami. Those players' offer sheets were drastically different then Scott's. Lawlor was probably closer in offers to Scott, mainly because Lawlor was seen as a FB by some schools and a LB by others.
Here is a write up on Scott
"The two schools that really stick out above everyone are Pitt and Penn State, though I'm still considering the others and there's plenty of time to decide."
McKillop has been receiving mail from programs all over the nation, and he has recently heard from schools like UCLA, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Florida. Pittsburgh has already offered McKillop a scholarship.
"I've already been to Pitt and Penn State and I plan on going to Virginia and West Virginia in the next few weeks. I know I'll be attending a few camps and making a few more unofficial trips between now and next year. I'm not in a hurry at all."
McKillop's brother, Chris, signed with Pitt in February.
If Scott was offered by PSU the author would have pointed that out.
Here is another article once Scott committed... Key word is "interest"
Just a few days prior to Bokor's commitment, Vandergrift (Pa.) Kiski Area linebacker Scott McKillop decided to join his older brother Chris, a freshman at Pitt, on the Panthers team.
McKillop, a 6-foot-2, 216-pounder, chose the Panthers over interest from Penn State, Maryland, West Virginia and others.
Finally,
"A bunch of schools are still recruiting me," linebacker and Pitt commitment Scott McKillopsaid. "Penn State, Virginia, Nebraska, Tennessee, Colorado, Iowa, Duke, those are some of them."
"None of them have offered."

The roster limits are going to be changed after the judge rejected the settlement
The simple solution is that schools are going to be allowed to phase in the roster limits. Anyone who was on a roster before the settlement will be grandfathered in. As those players are "weeded out" of the system the limits will be enforced.
Do you read the judge's comments? She seemed more concerned about the players on scholarship (partial) who are in limbo and will be whacked. I think baseball loses 10?? She made no mention of football. Reading between the lines, she is expecting those on scholarship to be grandfathered in if they so desire. So you are probably looking at a 2-3 year period of variable roster size until the scholarship expires.
