Yes, they did - ithey may have graduated high school early enough to clear admissions prior to PSU's spring semester

PSU is on semesters, and OSU is on quarters - OSU's "quarter" system generally seems to be advantageous to kids who graduate high school early. I know that the quarter vs. semester issue was also a concern for Fred Davis, who graduated early.

From Rivals100.com...VaTech and PSU are his co-leaders. He visited VaTech this past weekend. He will take one last official to Florida.

Navorro cancelled his visit to Florida and will decide between tOSU, Penn St., and Virginia Tech sometime during the first week of December.

I would say the smart money here would be on PSU or VA Tech at this point, but he speaks highly of all three schools.

Bowman missed playing time for more than half of the season with a shoulder injury. He returned to play in Suitland's playoff game on Saturday and recorded 12 tackles in a losing cause.

This one is close, not sure what are real chances are but if I was placing a vbet, I would go with Penn State.

I'd go vith VT. I'd think that PSU is guaranteed to have a head coaching change within the next 4 years (if not this year..what a way for Joe Pa to go out). I would think that would certainly be a negative, not knowing who you are going to be playing for.

from his comments about the OSU visit, I infer we are running a distant 3rd.

isn't his son running most of the team as it is...i thought he was the one that was going to take over the team...i am sure that is what JoePa would want to happen (keeping it in the family)

Bowman will make a decision is a couple of weeks, he is down to Penn State, Ohio State and Virginia Tech. Mentions that he was always a Buckeye fan.

[wadc45]

I'll go out on a limb and say that we have as good a shot as PSU or VT for Bowman...

If this is true, then he's done a good job about keeping quiet in regards to us...

childhood favorites...one of the first to offer...loved his visit...opportunity to play early. there are lots of positives in OSU's favor. depends on how strongly the staff went after him in regards to other schools.
