Damn we're good. 10% of the top players in the country on one team .. Can't wait to see that class hit the field in crimson and white.

barners have one guy who is literally the last person of the top 100. Barely have two. Think I saw that Ricky Town got a 4*, but I'm not sure.

Penn State is moving up.

Lost his five star status:

Town competed in two events this spring that we know of and he had average performances at both. He played in a 7-on-7 tournament in Las Vegas and had accuracy issues and then was sort of anonymous and blended in with the crowd at the Golden Arm Challenge in Atlanta. I still contend Town is one of the best quarterbacks in the country and he could become a star at USC. There is no question in my mind he is a gamer, but to justify keeping him in the five-star class, we didn't feel he backed up those accolades this spring. After being committed to Alabama early, Town is almost definitely sticking with his USC pledge. - Adam Gorney, Rivals.com West Analyst

People round here are really excited. We haven't had much to celebrate Nittany Lion-wise in a long time ..

Meh, just a rating and a competition. I think he's the best QB in the class.

Ratings and competitions are one thing I pay VERY little attention to when it comes to college QB's. You can tell me all day long he's the best in the class, and for every example given I can point to several who had the same label. In all seriousness, go back and look at the top 20 pro-style QB's and you'll find half of them that make you say, "who?"
.....

For the hell of it, I pulled one class which would be seniors this year. Top 10 ranked pro-style QB's of the 2010 class per Rivals.

Zach Lee will probably be pitching in the majors some time this season.

Not much of a predictor when Blake Bell and Tyler Bray had the best college careers of the ten.

In the ol' "what if" category...

Bray was a Kiffin recruit. If LK would have remained at UT what kind of career would he have had?
