During Micah Parsons’ up-and-down, tweet-by-tweet recruitment — during which the five-star talent committed, decommitted, considered Ohio State and named his dog, “Brutus” — members of Penn State’s program wondered the same thing.
Why are we putting up with this?
And they made those concerns known to head coach James Franklin.
“There were some coaches and players questioning if we ought to go on this roller-coaster,” Franklin said Monday afternoon, the first day of spring practice. “I haven’t heard one person question the roller-coaster since he showed up on campus.”
Parsons — a legit candidate to land Penn State’s starting middle linebacker job — is proving why it was worth Franklin and the program to jump aboard the roller-coaster.
