Sing It With Me: All I Want For Chirstmas Is A Dual-Threat QB (Updated)

Updated: December 7, 2008

Ok, so maybe I want a little more than just a Quarterback. Below is my wish list of recruits and my projected probability that Penn State lands each. We probably have 6 more scholarships available:

Quarterback
  1. Kevin Newsome--75% (We'll see what happens now that he's been up for his official visit).
  2. Tajh Boyd--5% (Boyd has now decommitted from both West Virginia and Tennessee, so who knows what team he will finally sign with, but Penn State is on his short-list).
  3. P.J. Jones (2010)--85% (Newsome's decision won't effect P.J. who has to be PSU's #1 priority for 2010).
Running Back--None

Wide Receiver
  1. Justin Brown--85% (Also rumored to be a "silent verbal," but I'd be shocked if it's not PSU in the end).
  2. Antone Exum (Ath.)--60% (It's down to PSU and Va. Tech) .
Tight End--None

Offensive Line--None

Defensive End
  1. Jason Ankrah--20% (PSU staff may have cooled on him, but he's still the best the D-End prospect).
  2. Lanford Collins--20% (He will visit soon, after that who knows).
Defensive Tackle
  1. Raynard Randolph--25% (Big athletic tackle that has enough talent to thrive under Larry Johnson, Sr.)
Linebacker
  1. Jelani Jenkins (OLB)--65% (I'd be surprised if he doesn't choose PSU in the end).
Defensive Back
  1. Gerald Hodges (Saf.)--60% (Has not solidified his commitment to Rutgers since his recent visit and is coming to PSU for an official visit soon).

I would almost completley agree with you. I do have a couple differences.

I think Newsome is a little higher (maybe 60% or more)

I would say Jones is a little more (85%) 100% if Newsome goes elsewhere


Hodges has to be more than 45%. If that was the case he would just reconfirm to Rutgers. If he comes up Dec 6, I think it puts us way in the lead.

Nice. I'll look at my numbers and adjust them accordingly... I had not heard about Hodges coming back on the 6th? Is he coming with Newsome and McNeal?

He was planning on it if his team was eliminated from the playoffs. They are so we will see where that goes.

They are hoping to have Newsome, McNeal, and Hodges in that weekend.

I would also add if Exum is down to us and Virginia Tech I would at least give us a 50% chance.

YEAH for Newsome. Life saver for PSU.
