Andrew Nelson wrote an article for Nittany Nation on ESPN explaining why he chose Penn State. Pretty good read here.

Pretty cool that he actually wrote it himself. Some recruits can barely read, lol.

Agreed. Fortunately he attends a very solid high school in Hershey High.

That has little to do with his success imo. There are plenty of problems in that district. You just don't hear about them. He is just a good kid.

Agreed 100%, but not every district has the funds to keep them quiet like Hershey does.

Is there anyone who has met Larry Johnson who doesn't think he's one of the most impressive people around?

I can think of at least one on this board. Although, I'm not sure if they have ever met.

Talk about a kid with a good head on his shoulders. Thanks for posting.
EDIT: even though I quoted a post about new-era, my post was about Nelson...

I continue to be stunned (in a very positive way) by the caliber of the players we are drawing...and the caliber of the staff. Andrew should be a great addition to the team and a fine representative for Penn State Athletics.
Thanks NittanyChuck for sharing this excellent read...

A recruit who can type more than 140 characters and spell the word you. Love it.
