By Sean Fitz. Expecting Northwestern to offer soon as well and ND is saying he is real high on their list....both Miami (FL) and Oregon want junior film. Jameel says PSU thinks he is the best back in PA....going to try and make the Ohio State game....Jameel thinks PSU will offer once they get his junior film. Will also go to the Pitt-Syracuse game and try to get to the ND-Pitt game. Hasn't thought about recruiting, talks about the influence former McDevitt/Pitt RB LeSean McCoy has had on him, and the success of other McDevitt players at Pitt.

By Sean Fitz. Syracuse is the latest to offer. This past weekend Jameel and his parents visited PSU for the Ohio State game....thinks PSU is going to offer as soon as his film gets sent out and his coach said they'll send it out Monday, coach Larry Johnson introduced Jameel to coach Joe Paterno and they said they're real high on him. Jameel says the atmosphere was crazy and it doesn't get too much better then that. Has only been to RU and Pitt prior to this, with RU being a game day experience, so it is too early for leaders and he plans to narrow his list around the 2010 class signing day.
