Bill Belton

Penn State will hit the road this weekend to face favored Virginia at Scott Stadium on Saturday.

Welcome back to the 'S' Zone, a weekly collaboration of notes on the Nittany Lions and Penn State recruiting put together by Lions247 editor Sean Fitz, 247Sports.com National Recruiting Writer Steve Wiltfong and the newest addition to the team, Lions247 recruiting analyst Cory James.

This week, we take a look at the injury status of starters Bill Belton and Stephon Morris and how the Nittany Lions would go about replacing them, see where Penn State will head to check out some top prospects and check in on recent decommit Zayd Issah.

All that and much, much more can be found below.

Issah- "I just decided to open up and see if I couldn't get recruited to a school that was better fit for me."
My read- "I'm fishing for some other major offers."
"I still am considering with Penn State. If it turns out after my decommitment and exploring my options that I still want to go to Penn State, then I would still go there," he said. "Coach Johnson told me just because I was so up front with them, they knew they were recruiting the right guy and I was still their No. 1 guy. I still have a scholarship to Penn State."
My read- "After Alabama or Oregon string me along as a Plan C prospect for a few weeks/months, I MIGHT lower myself to consider Penn St again." "Clearly I'm the best that they can do at LB and they know it." I'd tell him to reaffirm his commitment before the end of the month or to enjoy life as a Pitt Panther.
At this point I'd take Buddy Brown over Issah in a heartbeat. We need kids who 100% want to be here, not players that might go here if they have to. We need players that are going to buy into everything that our current situation entails. Clearly Zayd does not.
