Haha, I was just going to post this.

I’m not a recruiting expert but it sounds like there a lot of rising seniors who are just as good if not better than kids who have already committed. Maybe there is hope for this class to get a lot of unknowns with high potential.

With his size, maybe they will ask him to consider a switch to the secondary.

But watching him grab some high passes and deftly scooping up some grounders makes me think he can probably catch some throws from Bolden!

Never miss an opportunity to slam Bolden.

It’s what you do.

Not sure about his mobility.

I like the downfield plays.

Hes a good deep ball receiver a la Butler.

Awesome. He really goes for the ball, doesn't wait for it to come to him.

More than happy to spend a scholy on this guy.

Wait. That’s too positive.

If all else fails....

maybe Kurt has some eligibility left? And crap, I’m rooting for StTebow just so that BOB and the Boys can get their collective cabooses down to (or wherever) Stae College and begin the beguine.

Skyler and Jonathan:

Ebony and Ivory, Part II?

9931’s comment touched on my biggest gripe about the “star” system: It rewards kids who might have peaked at age 18 while penalizing those who peak at age 20 or 22. How many times have we seen a kid come to Penn State relatively unheralded, only to make a major impact by the time he is a senior?

I do think recruiting/ranking services try to estimate a kid’s potential based on his HS performance, but they are not as good as they think they are. Getting worked up about today’s “Oh my goodness, he’s a 5-star!” kid is not worth it, imho.

Does Herschel Walker have a kid?

I’d like Jonathan Warner to completely outshine Herschel’s offspring in the 2016 Sugar Bowl.

Well, it does keep the legacy links going

Which I think is a good thing. And Penn State has to be on the “good” side of one more letterman.

I'd like to see him as a Jordan Norwood

kind of receiver. Not that big, but absolutely fearless across the middle.

Agree with that

Legacy players aren’t bad. They care. They’re committed. Their dads will give more money.

From those videos, it appears that the QB always figured he could air it up to Warner in double coverage and he’d come up with it. That suggests he could be a Norwood type. It also appears that he could teach our team how to run a quickout/screen play properly.

I also notice that the DBs line up about eight yards back from him. Then again, it could just be a weak high school league.

Legacy Players

I noticed his QB could toss a pretty accurate pass on the run too.
I think bringing him on board would go a long way to pleasing the letterman and firming up BOB’s support among them.

Plus just from this brief scouting report, the kid is well regarded as a player.

by Nectir on Jan 16, 2012 8:41 PM EST reply actions  

Recruit the QB too

He seems to have a firm grasp on the position.
