Penn State football: Lions land solid recruiting class
Carlisle Sentinel, PA - Feb 8, 2007
STATE COLLEGE - Solid, but not flashy.

No, that's not Joe Paterno's sideline wardrobe of black sneakers and khaki pants.

It's how recruiting analysts are describing the 21 recruits who formally declared their intentions to attend Penn State on Wednesday, the first day of the national signing period.

No highly-rated speedsters like Derrick Williams and Justin King in this bunch, though the Nittany Lions weren't necessarily in the market for speed.

Still, two major recruiting services - Scout.com and Rivals.com - rated the Nittany Lions' 2007 haul among the Top 25 in the country.“It's a strong class ... not heavy on the skill positions, but that wasn't an area of need for them,” said Rivals analyst Mike Farrell. “It's not as talented from top to bottom as last year's class.”
