Even with rain in the forecast on Saturday, a number of recruits were able to make the trip to Happy Valley for the Nittany Lions' annual Blue-White spring scrimmage.

Man, that Sorrenti kid looked like he was ready to kill someone. Good pictures, love seeing several 2014 recruits there.

I wonder if Yannick Ngakoue and Derwin Gray coordinated wearing the same shirt.
Man, Mahon is a wide body.
Agree with bills, like seeing several of the '14 guys there.

May be a dumb question but wanted to be sure that's Troy Vincent Jr formally of the Eagles and Fins?

Just watched some of 2014 Jared Cohen's highlights. On several pass plays they used an interesting set (not novel, I'm sure, I had just never noticed this before) where the OG - Cohen - actually pulled outside the same-side OT and blocked the edge guy.
So is Troy Vincent the son of the NFL Troy Vincent?
Sorrenti seems to play mean, but looks fairly slow (short legs - takes a lot of steps, but doesn't always get that far). More natural at LB than FB or RB, IMO.

Helps influence LBs and DL. Kind of an OL play action. I'll have to look at it, but that's what it sounds like.

Right, makes sense. I know Gailey in Buffalo has run pass plays where they pull the OG to freeze the LB's. Just don't think they pulled to the same side (not like it's that big of a change - just need an OG with some good feet to go that wide).

Honestly it could just be against certain fronts, or a certain technique. We rana belly play all the time in HS where we would switch guys on the run play. Well we had a pass off of that that we just threw the ball instead, used the same scheme to influence.
Btw someone get Luis Uceta a sammich!

Yeah, that's a good nick name for him. He definitely looks the part of an interior OL already!

Da'Quan Davis looks like a little kid with a Napolean complex. I think he is trying to scare someone, but I am not sure who.

Mahon is just enormous. Can't wait to see what he'll bring to Penn State.

Ok...DB Wesley Scott (pic 14) is a dead ringer for Dave Chappelle's Prince.

I know he's bigger than that. Sneaky and I saw him last year, and he looked probably 260ish then. He just looks thin in the pic. Prob between 6-6'1 from seeing him in person. Knowing that, the rest of the dudes are pretty tall...b/c they tower over him.
Cothran is built like a hoss for a dude that tall.

Hopefully he can play corner and play early. He does look small though.

Yeah, Webb isn't that tall, though I'll bet he weighs more than he looks (especially in that picture).
Maybe it's just me, but that picture looks a little...stretched horizontally. Could be a point of view issue there.
