The real meltdown would come if Zordich picked OSU also. I highly doubt they land Major so that would leave htem with just Mauti and maybe Beachum. |

Which is a very real possibility. |

While the 2008 class is a banner recruiting year for the state of Pennsylvania, Penn State could lose out big time. Sweat, Hale, Nix, Wilson, Baldwin, Carraway, and Moody (FSU commit) are all likely to end up outside Happy Valley. Pryor, Holley, and Alexander are all considering Penn State, but the Nittany Lions are not the presumptive favorite. Only Wedderburn is a strong PSU lean.

Welcome aboard to Sweat (if in fact it is his decision).

The Zordich thread over there is a lot more fun.

Thats what I don't understand. I love JOE PA as an coach/person but, if he was coaching at OSU he would have been gone years ago. Penn has great talent every year but, most of the top players go elsewhere, yearly. Is there any bad-mouthing going on about Joe pa's lack of dominating in-state recruiting . If they ever kept the top players home they would be scary to play against.Ohio is so loaded this year but, we only have 13 schollies so I hope PSU picks up the ones they want that we can't fit in. PSU is my # 2 favorite team behind  .

I was once having a crises about this very thing. After you look closely, its not all that bad. We're in the same position with the limited schollies and I really think the staff is higher on out of state guys.
Nix, Baldwin, Carraway, and Moody don't have offers. I honestly don't even want Holley (look at his SA combine size and test numbers). I think we get Alexander, Wedderburn, and a coin filp with you guys for Pryor. So out of the 11 guys you mentioned, we're only really missing out on 3. |

I hope this kid chooses us. It would hurt if he chooses UM or ND.
