12 Verbal commitments: '09 Penn State Recruiting Class

Verbal commitments stars/ratings one through twelve on Rivals/Scout, side by side.

Star-divide

I just thought it would be interesting to have the ratings side-by-side for each '09 verbal commitment in the '09 class. I'm thinking that even with 12 commits we may have anywhere from 12 - 16 more available if need be, that is right...I have actually heard numerous times that if we were able, we could potentially sign a class that included nearly 28 recruits if not 28. Excellent start, we've clearly addressed needs on the offensive line and in the secondary already.

 

UPDATED 6-18-08. Scout rankings.

                                                                       RIVALS                  SCOUT

[ATH] Derrick Thomas                               3* (5.7)                    3*

[ATH] Curtis Drake                                        NE                         3*

[WR] Brandon Felder                                 3* (5.7)                    3** (was NE)

[OT] Eric Shrive                                            4* (6.0)                   5*

[OT] Mark Arcidiacono                                3* (5.5)                   4** (was 3*)

[OG] Frank Figueroa                                     NE                        NE

[C] Ty Howle                                                 3* (5.7)                   3** (was NE)

[DE] Sean Stanley                                       4* (5.8)                   4*

[CB] Darrell Givens                                     4* (5.8)                   4*

[CB] Stephon Morris                                   3* (5.5)                   3** (was NE)

[S] Malcolm Willis                                       3* (5.5)                   3*

[S] Stephen Obeng-Agyapong                  3* (5.5)                   3*

Rivals:

3 - FOUR star recruits

7 - THREE star recruits

2 - NE recruits

Scout:

1 - FIVE star recruit

3 - FOUR star recruits

7 - THREE star recruits

1 - NE recruits

 

I'm really favoring Scout's rankings at this point. Mark Arcidiacono got lowballed by Rivals big-time, Scout shows him some respect as the #26 OT and a 4* recruit.

Poll
Which 3* Penn State verbal commitment for the 2009 class will have a 4th* added on Rivals? If you reach 5.8 on Rivals than you are awarded a 4th*, we have 12 commitments and these are the three that have a 5.7 rating on Rivals and are thus closest.

QB: '09 class...

I know…right. :(

Looks like it is Kevin Newsome, Tate Forcier or BUST…and Kevin Newsome is committed to SCUM.
