That's a shame.

Looks like Givens did not qualify for Penn State and is looking at "North Carolina, Miami, Nebraska, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Florida, West Virginia, and Rutgers."

Another "miss" by Tressel...

He's got a HS certificate, at least 2 BE offers and can play defense. What's RR waiting for?

Also going against him: He plays defense.

I usually don't bash BUT according to some PSU fans they act like they have Ray Lewis, Singletary and Derrick Thomas all in their prime roaming around back there. So they dont need no stinkin Givens to play ball with anyone. They've taken the LB U thing way past normal logic and reason. They actually were upset that Lee (who didn't play last year because of injury) wasn't named Pre-season def. player of the year.

And Givens seems to be a free spirit. He leaves us, then tries to come back, then learns his grades suck and he can't get in anywhere. I'm betting on NC or W. Virginia on this one. Both seem to take what others can't. Heck Mich St. might want to make a few phone calls themselves since they seem to get anyone in also.

You're a little far off on UNC taking what others can't. Butch Davis is turning UNC into a pretty good team, and he took a WR(Jheranie Boyd) that OSU coveted. And they've brought in the likes of Mike Paulus, Joshua Adams, Marvin Austin, and of course Boyd to name a few who are all at least 4star recruits. Look out for UNC to challenge in the ACC in about a year or so.

I think he meant that UNC is taking what other's won't take academically, but I hadn't really thought of UNC in that way. WVU on the other hand . . . .

Butch must have some pull. "Well you want me to win, don't you?"

Oh ok, that may be true. And I second the sentiment about WVU, lol!

I've heard a pretty steady drumbeat of South Carolina on this one.

Just curious, did you attend the "jimotisforheisman school of capitalization/punctuation/abbreviations, etc."?
