Hey guys, even though I am usually in the thick of things (being a roomate to some players), I haven't contributed on recruiting for a while. I apologize.
Anyways, I talked to Jordan Whiting today and he just told me that Shariff had a great time on his visit. One thing Jordan told me that sounded great was when he stated " I was suprised that Shariff called me back after only two days. Usually I never hear from a recruit until after the second day." He calls Jordan on a regular basis and Jordan is confident that we can land him. I asked him if he thinks Shariff was coming and he shook his head yes.....
Go bucks!

Hope that is accurate...
And that you (and Jordan especially) are right!!
While I am very happy with the progress we have all seen lately with some of our DTs, it certainly has been a position of need here, and having Floyd on board would be HUGE towards continuing the tradition of lots of BCS bowl games we have had recently.

PSU already has 2 DT's in their recruiting class. They are close to filling up and may have other needs. Florida and South Carolina also have a DT commit in each of their classes. We offer him the best shot at playing time with 2 seniors graduating.

PSU nor Florida nor South Carolina would turn down Sharrif if he wanted to commit, getting playing time against those other DT's would not be his main concern (at least I don't think it would).
But you are right, especially with John Simon getting so much PT as a freshman that's got to be exciting for big Shariff.

Anybody have an insight on Mr. Floyds academic chops?
Not to be a profiler but the somewhat late offer and the fact his body composition scream "SEC", had me concerned.
I assume they feel good about him gaining admission now, but I don't want to sweat it out.
PS - I have no idea what his reported gpa/test scores are.

If that does not work out, he could always move to guard. He has a solid get-off and can be tough to move off the ball. He is able to come out of his stance, generate some power and does a pretty good job at taking on and even defeating double teams. He will flash the ability as a big man to be able to turn his hips, get skinny and slip past a blocker. He moves well for a big man and can be disruptive, but really seems at his best eating up blockers and pushing forward. He does need to work on using his hands to separate and being able to work across the face of a blocker. As a pass-rusher he is a bull rush guy. On offense, he can create push and moves his feet well enough to reach the defender. Does a solid job of being able to work up to the second level. Floyd is a good prospect on both sides of the ball and that gives some added value. If defense does not work out, you could still get production from him on offense.
I think that Worthington and Heyward could teach him a few things about using his hands to separate from the blocker. Both seem to excel at that this year.....

Wow...well there you have it. Former favorite is now out of the picture. And to rub it in he's going to use an unnofficial visit to PSU to get a better idea about us
Man, with Terrelle, Sweat, both C. Browns, Bell, and maybe now Floyd, you've gotta think that Penn State is tired of us poaching their state.
