Gotta like our chances then. Brown is at the top of my wish list for '10, right behind Turner.

Yeah. He looks like a great All purpose back who would be a great compliment to Pryor or another dual threat QB. CAn catch and has really good speed and some pretty good moves too. It would really be great to have a couple 5 star RBs 2 years in a row. Brown is going to be a 5 star or close to it correct?

1. Corey Brown, Cardinal O'Hara HS (Springfield) RB- The early favorite to be the top prospect in the state next season thanks mainly to his game-breaking speed. Needs to add weight to his 6'0" 170 pound frame if he wants to be an every down back in college, but he will get that with a college weight training program. Also has great hands and is an elite return man. Tore his MCL early in his junior season, but it didn't require surgery and is expected to be 100 percent healthy by the summer. Early offers have come from Pitt, Penn State, West Virginia, Florida, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Rutgers, UCLA and many others.

From GatorBait....Talks about his interest in the Gators. Says Penn State and Ohio State are the only Big Ten schools that he's considering and briefly talks about his interest in both.

From reading the last couple articles about him, he seems like a smart kid who is knowledgeable about the schools recruiting him, including the offenses, recruiting classes, and all that stuff.

Rutgers will probably be a serious challenger, but I also get the impression that he really cares about winning and Rutgers, though a solid program, obviously isn't on the same level as OSU, PSU, Georgia, Florida, etc.

This may be a recruitment where Terrelle Pryor is able to really help. TP is already a big name in PA and if he has a great sophomore year, the opportunity to play with TP in 2010 and maybe 2011 would probably be pretty attractive to Brown. He also seems to fit into what we look to be trying to do on offense.

Not to get too far ahead here, but if Montana commits, his PA family background could also be a bit of a help in the recruitment.

Brown reverses field, PSU now in the mix - (free)

Joe Paterno is off to a great start in Pennsylvania with the class of 2010. Penn State already has commitments from two of the state's top five juniors: linebacker Mike Hull from Canonsburg Canon-McMillan and quarterback P.J. Jones from McKees Rocks Sto-Rox.

For a while, it appeared another of the Keystone State's top five juniors - Corey Brown from Springfield Cardinal O'Hara - was not considering the Nittany Lions. In November, the star running back revealed a list of his top eight schools and Penn State was not among them.

But Brown has had a change of heart. He no longer has a top eight and says he will visit State College in March. Penn State was one of the first six schools Brown had a scholarship offer from. Many more have since joined in.

"With all the new offers, I don't have a top eight anymore," Brown said. "I'm looking at a lot of schools.
