No.

Why do we need to go after any Penn State players? They played in the Big Ten for a reason - let them stay there.

Because it would scare away kids that have more upside and more years left on campus. I think we will be just fine at runningback. Now if they have some big uglies or DBs that would like to come over. i'll be happy but i'll rather have Kamara than redd. Plus we don't know which mind set the penn st guys would come in with. Heck it might take them a year just to get back being focused on football.

We are assuming that he would turn pro after one year. Would he be able to come in and learn the offense in a month and be a factor?

I don't understand the logic that the players would scare away other recruits.

That's the type of mentality that put us in short numbers at ILB and Safety.
We bet the farm at CB last season on Geno Smith and lost, too.

If we can't recruit for our own needs, then what the heck are we doing?
Either a kid wants to be a Dawg or he doesn't.
With attrition and player flips, we can't worry about the whims of a 17 and 18 year old.
We owe it to our existing players to field the best team we possibly can.

The linebacker Fortt would be a nice addition. Stankiewitch the center is scheduled to graduate in December with 2 degrees, I do not see him leaving for any reason. With 39 days before the start of our season, how likely would it be to get a kid interested in UGA, enrolled, acclimated to the campus and surroundings and (most importantly) productive on the field with his teammates?

From what the 247 site says, he's already graduated, so it'd be easy for him to just transfer down here to play out the football season at a school where he might have a chance at playing for a crystal ball. He's already earned his degrees. All he's got to do is show up and play football. From his standpoint, it might be more fun than dealing with the negativity at PSU in his final year of eligibility, with no possibility of post-season play and a whole lot of losses in front of them.
