We've Got Your "Seven Nation Army" Right Here.
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 thing that’s become painfully obvious from watching the Fighting DeChellises so far is the lack of true post players that can defend and score down low. Andrew Jones is doing his damndest but his production has left more to be desired, not to mention he gets very little support from his fellow “forwards” who [...]
Those of you with a deep-seeded hatred for all things Ohio State and Columbus-related might want to mellow down a bit, because the Fighting DeChellises have once again managed to go right into the Buckeyes’ backyard and poach another hidden-gem recruit in high school junior Trey Burke. That’s right, high school juniors and sophomores are [...]
Well, okay, I sorta did forget. Granted, I felt like something was missing when I finished my “Not-So-Deep Thoughts” post yesterday but I couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was. Then it hit me this morning, I forgot to welcome you aboard to one of the top recruiting classes in the nation right now. Did I [...]
EDITOR’S NOTE: I realize this is fairly old news as of now (Thursday). I meant to get this published sooner but had it sitting on the backburner the last couple of days. I apologize for the lack of timing. We now return to your regularly-scheduled blog post.
Okay, this is getting a little ridiculous…And I’m loving [...]
It’s amazing what can transpire in less than a week. PSU’s 2010 recruiting class got a double-dose of defensive end goodness with commitments from 4-star players CJ Olaniyan and Dominique Easley
Here’s a few quality sentences on Olanyian per ESPN’s recruiting service
He is a productive defensive end. He displays a good get-off and is tough versus [...]
Leave it to another commitment from a 4-star recruit to awaken me from a boredom-induced stupor caused by last weekend’s uninspiring, sleep-walk of a victory over Syracuse.
Per Bob Lichtenfels at Scout.com, here’s a description of our latest prize, Zach Zwinak (with one of the best opening sentences ever for a recruit bio):
Zwinak runs and blocks [...]
“I went up there and felt at home,” he said at the press conference. “There is no place like Penn State.” “There’s no place like Penn State.” “There’s no place like Penn State.”
Those are the self-pleasuring words of PSU’s latest catch, Dakota Royer. Admittedly, I added on the last two sentences to the actual quote [...]
The parade line of kickass recruits comprising the class of 2010 continues to get longer as 4-star tight end Kevin Haplea announced his intent to play for the good guys this morning.
As always, ESPN.com’s recruiting gurus have plenty to write about this kid:
Haplea is a good well-rounded prospect.
Actually, there’s a lot more than that, you [...]
After months of deliberation: State College WR Alex Kenney realized that having the locals embrace you is better than having them chase you out of town with pitchforks and torches in hand, and officially became PSU’s 13th commit for the 2010 recruiting class.
Per FOS, Happy Valley’s most embraced native son since Mike McQueary (LJ spent [...]
