Koroma is the second straight PSU transfer to declare early. Following Chris Baker last season...what is with PSU transfers leaving FBS schools early?

That would actually work wonderfully to me, but Benn isn't rated as a 1st Rounder so I see no need to trade up for him.

Lucky us then, rd's 1 and 2.

[psubills62]

Koroma is the second straight PSU transfer to declare early. Following Chris Baker last season...what is with PSU transfers leaving FBS schools early?

Well they aren't getting any younger, as they probably each had to sit out a year before playing again. I know Baker at least had really good stats at Hampton...not sure about Koroma. Either way, good luck to them.

You do not have to sit out a year when you transfer to a school in a lower football division.

[psubills62]

Marvin Austin is returning to school;
http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/934262.html

Seems to be a bit of a surprise. Saw him in the first round in a LOT of mocks.

Any word on the main PSU juniors (i.e. Royster and Bowman)? I'm not expecting either to stay. Royster, imo, would be most likely to stay if one of them does. Either one would help immensely next year.

Makes sense with already Price, and McCoy declaring he chooses to stay and gets put at the top of the 2011 draft class.

Both are heavy leans to leave. Bowman was as close to 100% as you get, Royster was closer to 70%.

Add Quan Sturdivant, Kendric Burnley, Deunta Williams, and Greg Little to returning to UNC;
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/ncaa/01/04/north-carolina.ap/

That's a hell of group to keep at Chapel Hill.

[RockStar36]

Here is my contribution, assuming it isn't posted alread.

NC State - Toney Baker - http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/8455/nc-states-baker-heads-to-nfl

[psubills62]

Add Quan Sturdivant, Kendric Burnley, Deunta Williams, and Greg Little to returning to UNC;
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/ncaa/01/04/north-carolina.ap/

That's a hell of group to keep at Chapel Hill.

That's an excellent job to be able to convince all those guys to stay, especially considering there could easily be a rookie pay cap in 2011.

PSU RB Evan Royster staying in school:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4802112

Big surprise to me. PSU hasn't managed to keep kids in school the past few years. He may have gotten a poor grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Board.

Good luck to him. Barring injury, he should become PSU's all-time rushing leader (needs ~500 yards, I believe).

[DraftBoy]

DeAndre McDaniel is staying;

Jevan Snead declaring:

http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=5695

Very surprising to me, considering how bad he was this year. Not sure this is the kind of guy I'd like to get, except if we take a flyer on him very, very late.

I agree and coach wanted him to come back...
Coach knows he isn't ready...
I bet Mallett will come out now as well

Also this is strictly a rumor at this point but it has been announced that GT WR Demaryius "Bebe" Thomas is having a PC at 1:15pm to announce if he is leaving early or going back to Tech. Based on my sources he will be announcing his entrance into the NFL Draft, but likely not hiring an agent.

I concur, if we can get a guy like Greg Jones (r3) on the inside and Justin Cole (r5) on the outside Id be very happy with this draft class.

Norfolk State WR Chris Bell declared:

I have no idea how much he is on the radar of NFL scouts or anything (i.e. if he'll get drafted or go UDFA route), but it's another PSU transfer leaving early. I figure DB will be interested in that.

This is actually pretty big news to me. He had 950ish yards receiving and 13 TD's this year. Former Penn State WR who was accused of pulling a knife on a fellow teammate.

He's 6'3, 205 and runs around 4.5 40. Very interesting news.

Sounds like some good stats and measurables. Here's some quotes from a PSU board on Bell that you might enjoy:


Headline should be:

"Bell Taking Stab at NFL"


I'm not sure he'll make the "cut".


Guess he has to take a "hack" at it?


He'll make it if he puts a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into it. (His own, this time)


In all fairness, he didn't stab him, so maybe he could say he was just re-enacting the "This is a knife" scene from Crocodile Dundee or something.

[malvado78]

Just saw this today. Where do you think he compares to the other RB's?

I have no way of comparing them...he is a RB.

[malvado78]

Wow I am just hitting it out of the park today! I am sitting here in the hospital right now though. But yes you are right RB.

I guess I know he was a runner up for the Heisman. He vs Ingram.

[DraftBoy]

Most people assumed he would, he was already a senior.

Most people assumed he would, he was already a senior.

From the ESPN article:


He could have stayed for a fifth season because he played just one game in 2007 because of injuries but opted for the NFL instead.

[psubills62]

Just saw this today. Where do you think he compares to the other RB's?

I'm no judge of talent, but he's probably not as good of a prospect as some guys, like Spiller. Speed and versatility (namely being a good receiver out of the backfield) seems to be what separate the 1st-round RB's from other "meh" running backs. Gerhart is a power guy, which doesn't seem to mean a whole lot in the NFL. Getting someone who can just plain run away from pro defenders is much more worthwhile.

My guess is he's a 3rd or 4th rounder, but DB will be more accurate.
