It really doesn't seem like there are any CB prospects that we are in on. There are some kids that probably have most of the physical ability to play CB in PSU's scheme but none of them are highly touted, and none have offers.
5'10 170 MD ATH/RB Antwoine Reese (Westlake - same HS as '09 PSU signee Devon Smith), NJ ATH/RB Nahjee Tyler, 6' 195 PA ATH/RB Jawon Chisholm (watched his YouTube highlights - same school as RS FR PSU DT Brandon Ware....Quad A comp).
I don't think there is any question that '09 signee Derrick Thomas should be on the defensive side of the ball....he should still be used as DWill's primary KR/
PR replacement, maybe even as a FR, but he should be prepping for time at CB rather than WR unless it is a one year deal like AJ Wallace/Justin King being used on both sides of the ball.
We've got a handful of WRs with a few years left (Zug, Moye, Brackett, Powell), RS FR AJ Price, all of the '09 signees, and an immediate impact type with Adrian Coxson in '10. I can't imagine how Derrick Thomas won't be at CB...we need him there big time. There are of course numerous other guys at CB, I'm not listing them all, but Lynn and the '09 CB class are really the only players you'd ever expect to see starting.
TR SR AJ Wallace (6'1 185-190 - dropped some size)
TR SO D'Anton Lynn (6'1 195-200 - added size)
RS SR Knowledge Timmons (5'10/5'11 185-190)
At least we'll hold on to D'Anton Lynn after this season, he may just fulfill the promise at CB that AJ Wallace never did. I really like '09 signee Stephon Morris, so whatever his shortcomings are, I believe he'll do really well in the PSU scheme and shouldn't be overlooked.
TR FR Derrick Thomas (6' 180)
TR FR Darrell Givens (6'1 180)
TR FR Stephon Morris (5'9 185-190)
TR FR Michael Wallace (5'10 175)
That is going to be one hell of a scary secondary going against 'Bama in '10. With only Lynn returning and four TR FR CBs things could get scary for PSU. At least we aren't losing any safeties after this upcoming season and they'll have experience going into the '10 season, as well as Lynn having a year under his belt at CB. Of course this is all assuming that Lynn/both S start all year and don't suffer any injuries...
