FWIW, Freeman was a 4 star last year from what I’ve been told, and MSU held off on offering a different 4 star until they talked to Freeman.
Kevin Newsome is Penn State’s 22nd recruit of its class, which should be finalized in early February, but I haven’t found who the Lions commited in the “21st spot”. How do you think the addition of Newsome changes Penn State’s class ranking? And with JoePa’s three year extention official, is there anyone besides the players I mention below that might now have Penn State on their short list?
Maryland linebacker Jelani Jenkins, Delaware receiver Justin Brown and Virginia athlete Antone Exum.
Penn State’s 21st commit was the 4-star WLB that committed sometime last week, I can’t recall his name. He and Newsome will be included in the next round of rankings, and will certainly push Penn State past Illinois, maybe even higher.
Don’t know anything about Penn State recruiting in terms of the guys you mentioned aside from Jenkins, who has Penn State in a distant second behind Florida at this time (though I believe they’ll be given a chance to catch up).
Word is that Justin Brown is very interested in Iowa and will visit Iowa City the 30th, the week after his official to Penn State. Interesting??
