Elite 11 Announcement

Christian Hackenberg was the first 'no brainer' pick.
Update from later in the thread...This is the finals announcement. It developed into a top 25 list that will later be broken down into the Elite 11.
Update from later research...Zach Greenlee won MVP at the Las Vegas Elite 11 Regional. Christian attended the event so he was the first 'no brainer' from the non-MVP considerations.

Trent Dilfer said that (paraphrasing) Christian is a quarterback that you can build your program around. He's the first QB on the board.

As an FYI, this is for the top 24. The analysts were saying that Christian was a top 3.
Update: As the final picks were being debated, Trent Dilfer said, "This is a loaded class."

Ryan Burns, a QB on PSU's early radar and a Stanford commit, was not selected.

Ahh. Heck of a QB class this year. Browne, Shane Morris, Hack, Bateman (Bama finally gets their stud QB), and Olson are all studs - and better than any of the QBs last year IMO including Gunner. I really look forward to seeing those guys all compete on the same field.

Hmm I don't recall hearing that, but a recruiting analyst on twitter said Ryan has a prior commitment.
Andy Drukarev ‏@andydruk
Stanford 2013 QB commit Ryan Burns had an invite to the Elite 11 Finals, but declined to participate in a team camp that same week.
Andy Drukarev ‏@andydruk
Trent Dilfer watched Burns throw at Stanford's QB camp on Tuesday + was very impressed.

Its true. It was stated after the selections were made that Ryan had a prior commitment.

I'll give you a +ONE because Hack is damn good.

I really really like the Hack, I cannot wait until he gets on campus. He seems more excited about being Penn State then a lot of the rabid fans. I don't know if he was a huge fan before he declared but he is making up for lost ground now. Here is hoping that he has a better career both college and pro then Collins had, it is about time that PSU had a truly elite QB and this guy may fit the bill.

I believe because we landed Hack, ESPN ranked this recruiting class at 15.
