Paterno taken to the hospital

Penn State head coach Joe Paterno was taken to the hospital Thursday morning complaining of nasuea. The early diagnosis is he is suffering from dehydration but is currently undergoing tests to verify this. Joe Paterno still plans on visiting Austin, TX this weekend for a dinner with Texas head coach Mack Brown. Paterno also reportedly was on the phone with two recruits before he went to the hospital so it seems as if this is not a serious illness for Joe. Paterno, who is 81 years old, is in the final year of his contract with Penn State and it has already been established by the PSU administration that the contract won't be settled until after the season is over.

Penn State nabs top offensive lineman

Scranton, PA offensive lineman Eric Shrive (6-7, 285lbs) announced that he will be attending Penn State next year. Shrive is a huge pickup for the Lions as Shrive is a four-star player and the 68th best player in the nation according to Rivals.com. Shrive stated that the relationship he developed with offensive line coach Bill Kenney was one of the main reasons he committed. Shrive chose Penn State over offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Florida State, Georgia, Auburn, as well as several others. By far Shrive is the biggest commitment thus far early in the recruiting season for Penn State as depth along the offensive line is an issue for Penn State in 2009.

In other recruiting news Alexandria Virginia offensive lineman Frank Figueroa (6-4, 282lbs) announced that he will be joining Shrive in the class of 2009. Figueroa chose the Nittany Lions over offers from North Carolina and William and Mary.

Buckeyes land wide receiver commitment

National top 250 player James Jackson committed to the Buckeyes today. The 6'0", 175lbs wide receiver sports blazing 4.3 speed and is one of the top choices from the state of Michigan. Jackson chose the Buckeyes over offers from Oregon, Purdue, UCLA, Wisconsin, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan State. Jackson stated that the commitment this past recruiting season of quarterback Terrelle Pryor played a good part in his choice. "It really helped that Pryor committed there," Jackson said. "It always helps to have a good quarterback."
