SHOCKING NEWS: Navorro Bowman Takes The Money And Runs
It’s official now, according to Dear Worldwide Leader’s Joe Schad. We all held out hope that Navorro Bowman would eschew those millions of guaranteed dollars from being a first round pick in the NFL draft and providing financial stability for his kid and mother in order to come back and help PSU defend their Capital One Bowl title. Alas, it was not meant to be…
Speaking of shockers: Wisconsin’s basketball team, a mere 4.5-point favorite, obliterated the Fighting DeChellises to the tune of 63-46 yesterday. Wisconsin’s shooters were given at least a 10-foot cushion at all times to launch their numerous wide open three-point shots, eight of which found the bottom of the net. Wisconsin’s defense also proved to be stifling for anyone not named Talor Battle or DJ Jackson, as they were the only two players who showed any signs of life from a scoring perspective. For those of you keeping count at home, this marks 11 straight victories now for the Badgers dating back to February of 2003. It’s alright though, one of these days..we’ll crack the 50-point barrier against them.
Alright, enough sarcasm. It’s time to switch over to my serious face: Penn State avoided elimination in the Marcus Lattimore sweepstakes, per Adam “McLovin” Rittenberg:
ESPNU 150 running back Marcus Lattimore down to four
Four-star ball-carrier Marcus Lattimore (Duncan, S.C./Byrnes) has eliminated Georgia from contention, ESPN affiliate Web site TheBigSpur.com reports.
The ESPNU 150 talent is now only considering Auburn, Oregon, Penn State and South Carolina.
Lattimore has already completed official visits with the Tigers and Nittany Lions. He plans to visit the Gamecocks on Jan. 15th and the Ducks on Jan. 22nd before announcing his decision February 2nd.
Now, depending on who you believe; either Auburn or South Carolina is the current front-runner for Lattimore’s services. That may be about to change though with JoePa planning on making a pilgrimage to Lattimore’s hometown in South Carolina. Undoubtedly, Joe has the power to change a recruit’s mind, he’s used his special powers before to lure in the Derrick Williams/Justin King recruiting class that pulled the program out of the Dark Years and there’s no stopping him from doing so again..so long as he doesn’t forget to put on his ‘COME TA PENN SHTAAATE’ face.
Stare directly into his eyes, Marcus...Yeah, just like that...Now grit your teeth like a pitbull.
