Nittany Nation Recruiting commented,

“It all depends, Manny. I would imagine the 3 other schools will hand you more money than Penn State but those three other schools don’t have @CoachTrautFB and don’t have @coachjfranklin. Ask @olu_fashanu where you should go.”

An Auburn fan, Joseph, wrote,

“Man, Auburn is the right place for you. Go against the best conference with the best talent around you, get more TV exposure, live at a beautiful school that loves football as much as you.”

Aaron Leicht commented,

“None of the above will result in the highest draft position. For that, you go to Georgia.”
