coach great larry locked owned penn school seven state top
Penn State owned that Maryland-D.C. territory. Seven out of the top 10 players, Larry Johnson's got the state locked up. He's an ex-high school coach down there, so he had great inroads, great contacts.
chris defensive filled finished great maryland mention penn receiver state
Penn State really finished with a great flurry. They really did well in the state of Maryland and they did well on the defensive line, not to mention them getting a receiver like Chris Bell. They also filled all their needs.
kids later lesser pick spring
Today, the way the kids are, a lot of them don't want to participate in them later in the spring because they have a plethora of offers. You have to pick the lesser of the evils.
coaches compete evaluation gives period pick time west
We try to pick it strategically. There's only so many Saturdays during the evaluation period that the coaches can come. It gives enough time to get away from the other (combines). When they're in Pennsylvania, we'll be out West or down South. It doesn't make sense for everyone to compete for the same kids.
