Recruiting

The PSU football class of 2006 is starting to take shape and the outlook at this point appears very positive. Rivals.com ranks PSU's recruiting class as the 10th in the nation with 10 4 star recruits and 6 3 star recruits. PSU also has a higher average of stars per player than they did with last years stellar recruiting class. (3.44 this year as compared to 3.05 last year). The most talented recruits are on the defenseive side of the ball, particularly Defensive line. Recruiting Defense is great, particularly because it looks like the offense will still be productive. However this does leave me with some concerns.

My concerns are limited, but there is no such thing as an unimportant part of a football team. The two places where PSU seems to need bolstering is Offensive line and Defensive secondary.
Levi Brown is the only returning starter on offensive line, he is an All-American but he is the only returning starter. The importance of the offensive line will be heightened because Morelli is a less mobile quarterback than Robinson was. Developing the offensive line will be critical to both the running attack and the high powered passing attack.







The Defensive Secondary has been decimated by graduation. Hopefully the emergence of Deion Butler, and other receivers along with the return of Derrick Williams will allow Justin King to focus on being a dominant corner.













This will remain a part of the team to watch through spring practices and the Blue and White game.

GO State!
