Isiah Scott of Hubbard was offered to play WR for the penguins today.  Very good athlete and would be a good pick if he commits.

Was wondering where he was going to end up..... Great athlete, just not as great as his brother.

I'm told Scott has an offer from Kentucky and may get one from Pitt as well.

Larkin is a good one and comes from an athletic family ( Uncle was Barry Larkin of the Reds). Also played on the best team in the GCL South( Elder, St. X, Moeller), LaSalle, and he was one of the reasons why. Good closing speed, good hips and very athletic playing the ball. Great hands. Wondered where he was going to go to school and very surprised he is coming here.
Good analysis. .He is definitely a top 100 corner Nationally. .I'm sure he had several offers including F.B.S. ones. Great addition for Y.S.U.

How about Alabama or Ohio State? Hard to believe this Scott kid is getting all these offers.

Either of those two would really surprise me with him having a 2star rating--although J.J.Watt was also 2star. 8)

I really like the WR Darius Shackleford from Newark. He's a great route runner and downfield blocker with a great set of hands. Also is a Very physical and athletic kid that loves to go up and get the football. Has great instincts for blocking punts and field goals as well. I hope he comes here..just curious does anyone know if he has any other offers? And if not why?

Malone is on the small side at 5'10, 178 but shows good speed, great field vision, nice balance, some power for his size and really cuts on a dime. Very shifty.  Reminds me of Marcus Mason. I didn't find much on him for recruiting which might be a sign of weak  academics. Size will also scare D-I away. He appears to be worth the gamble if academics are O.K.

Fever -- Shackleford is a basketball star and some concern if he is going to play FB or basketball. Newark basketball is usually pretty good.

YSU has offered Dylan Mabin, a 6-1 DB from Nordonia. Looks a nice athlete.

YSU coaching staff was at Nordonia high school yesterday talking to Mayben and spent some time talking to some of the other players.  His brother was a star at North Western and is on Atlanta Falcons practice squad.

Cincy has pulled back there offer from Isiah and most of the other bigger programs are after LJ and are offering the brothers both full rides like PITT.  LJ is going to MSU and that is solid.  Isiah is the type of kid that needs to be at a smaller school and closer to home.  YSU has a good chance of getting him to sign,  he is a very good WR.

I believe he missed a lot of time this year with injuries so maybe that's why.
