Disturbing trend

By Joe Miegoc | Published: June 29, 2010 | 0 Comments
It all started last Friday. That’s when news came that Damascus, Md., athlete Brandon Phelps, at one point thought to be a Penn State lean, verbally committed to Virginia. The sting was less severe since both his parents being Virginia graduates, but such a big need in the defensive backfield, where Phelps was being recruited to [...]

New offer out

By Joe Miegoc | Published: June 27, 2010 | 0 Comments
Forgive the lack of blogging lately. I’ve been catching my breathe after a hectic spring season/NASCAR week at Pocono. Penn State handed out a new written offer over the weekend to Roanoke, Va., safety Michael Cole. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Cole was in State College for camp and the Nittany Lions’ coaching staff obviously saw enough to [...]

Jarrett gets offered

By Joe Miegoc | Published: June 2, 2010 | 0 Comments
In a move I thought was due any day now, Penn State finally offered East Stroudsburg South cornerback Kyshoen Jarrett. A two-time All-Mountain Valley Conference first-team pick, Jarrett has been a starter for the Cavaliers since his freshman year and it was obvious right away that he was going to be a big-time player. He’s done [...]

Lions get first commit

By Joe Miegoc | Published: May 26, 2010 | 0 Comments
And his name is Kyle Carter, a tight end from New Castle, Del. Yes, Carter’s offer list (scholarships from Bucknell and Delaware besides Penn State), but let me explain why this commitment, the first of a class that will end up being 15 (maybe 16 at the most) isn’t as odd as it may seem on [...]

Class of 2010 wide receiver Levi Norwood, whose brother Jordan starred at Penn State, was given a release from the letter of intent he signed in February. Norwood will instead attend Baylor, where his father Brian Norwood, a former assistant coach at Penn State, is the defensive coordinator. With the depth the Nittany Lions have at wide [...]

QB, LB claim offers

By Joe Miegoc | Published: May 4, 2010 | 0 Comments
Two Glenville, Ohio standouts are claiming offers from Penn State. Quarterback Cardale Jones and linebacker Andre Sturdivant both say they have offers from the Nittany Lions. When I first saw that Jones said he has been offered I was a bit surprised with PSU have sophomores Kevin Newsome and Matt McGloin and true freshman Paul Jones and [...]

A pair of defensive linemen recently picked up offers from Penn State. Baltimore defensive end Marco Jones, who was one of a handful of prospects at last Saturday’s Blue-White game, was verbally offered over the weekend and Alexandria, Va., defensive tackle Jay Whitmire, who was also at the Blue-White game, is expecting his offer any day [...]

Blue-White game thoughts

By Joe Miegoc | Published: April 26, 2010 | 0 Comments
I honestly only caught a little bit of Saturday’s Blue-White game, but in the little I saw I wasn’t overly impressed I did watch Paul Jones hook up with Shawney Kersey for the first of their two touchdowns, but I also saw Kevin Newsome and Matt McGloin look anything like the experienced players they should be [...]

Again? Unfortunately

By Joe Miegoc | Published: April 16, 2010 | 0 Comments
It seems like some people don’t learn their lesson. Penn State sophomore fullback Michael Zordich was cited for underage drinking last week. That comes after a DUI arrest last September. Zordich is not currently practicing with the team. It will be interesting what Joe Paterno has to say during his press conference before next Saturday’s Blue-White [...]

Succasunna, N.J., offensive lineman Angelo Mangiro picked up a written offer from Penn State during an unofficial visit Monday. Mangiro, who projects to be a guard at the next level, also holds offers from Florida, Ohio State and USC among others. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound prospect had been waiting for the Lions to offer and could return [...]
