Sometimes when I look at this group, I also think that this group might have actually been the last group to be recruited at first by the Paterno staff. In the fall of 2010, they would have been high school sophomores and maybe some of these players would have been contacted originally by someone on the Joe Paterno staff of that year?
Also, you look at the players still playing, and those who are still on the tea, are very important leaders and cogs for this team this year. DaeSean, Parker, Andrew, Curtis Cothran(who has put on nearly 75 pounds of muscle in our Iron lion program), Brendan Mahon, and of course Adam B who is now with the Minutemen of UMass and remains friends with the team.
