What is going on all of a sudden over there in Happy Valley? Two "BIG" commits in a week! Promising the house or what?

GO BUCKS!

Good catch for JoePa. Hope things go well for the kid, he sure has some talent to work with.

 

[Napoleonbuck]

Now if they only had good coaches to mold that talent...

I kid I kid (kind of).

Good get for the nits if true.

 

[jazzman]

Good get for PSU.....well he's gonna have to go up against an awesome Buckeye front when we meet in the Big Ten. Good luck to him now & then!

Anyone see that coming? PSU has like no depth on the offensive line. They must be selling playing time hard to these kids.

I think they're just reaping the benefits of adding Ang Lee to their Strength and Conditioning program:

Anything that can give the perception to the brass over at PSU that the program isn't going down the crapper to give Paterno a few more years as head coach is fine with me.

Great pickup for PSU and I'm glad he stayed in the B10...I'm really shocked though...PSU has been stealing Illinois' players lately!!! First Derrick Thomas and now Shrive? And Givens too if you even want to count him (Although he commited to you guys first). Whatever they're doing, it's working...

 

[stowfan]

What the heck happened to Grandpa and Notre Dame?

 

[matcar]

Meh...

Yes, this is a good pickup for PSU. Seems that the BPRT was on the money on this one...they kept saying that pulling Eric in would be tough...every post from them made me feel like this one was never going to land. Then we heard that he really enjoyed his visit to Columbus and I thought...well, maybe folks are being pessimistic. Not so much.

Kid from PA choosing PSU...go figure.... ...whoda thunk it..I thought JT had put a border around PA...
