Doubt it. As much as PSU worries about perception and image (see 7mill spent already on pr firms) and yes, athletics and athletes are secondary, I'd expect them to be right at the front of the line for the LB from Reading. I wouldn't rule out Stanford either.

I'm not saying that Penn state doesn't want him. BUT Mr. ANZALONE should want nothing to do with Penn State, right? Again, didn't he just say "You don't want your son to go to a place where there's a potential issue"???? If there are going to be potential issues anywhere, it's going to be Penn State. You'd think Mr. Anzalone would keep his son out of Happy Valley at all costs. Unless he is making an excuse for his son decomitting from OSU.

Penn State gets commit from 4 star WR Will Fuller from Philly

Penn State gets commit from 3 star Florida safety Neiko Robinson. Kind of an unknown but watching his youtube video the kid looks like he could be a player. First time Penn State has received a commit from Florida in years.

Really impressed with everything O'brien has done thus far with the program.

The kid from Florida accepted PSU's offer immediately after he received it. What does that tell you??? "Penn State was the first really big school to offer".

Yep and Dion Lewis had 1 offer and that was from Pitt. Seemed to turn out well.

I think the kid looks great on video and was invited to Florida, Alabama, and Auburns upcoming camps.

Could be worse. Penn State could have 4 recruits and kids backing out of committments.

So O'Brien stealing a kid away from North Texas and UAB is a coup? That IS impressive.

I wouldn't say it's a coup and I won't say he will even play, but it sure is better in my eyes than having one of your big recruits be an unranked Offensive Linemen from Chambersburg. You might not have heard of him since you don't follow pitt much anymore.

Then I don't understand the embellishing. He won over a 3 star kid from Florida and you're impressed. And according to BlueWhiteIllustrated, the Fuller kid from Philly is only a 3 star kid. This "ain't" gonna move PSU up in the recruiting rankings.

Fuller is a 4 star on Scout and will be a 4 star on BWI when the new rankings come out.

I am impressed with a coach in one of the biggest scandals in college football, replacing a legend, recruiting as well as he has. It obviously has your attention.
