Subscribe to Penn State Clips via EmailQ: How was your visit to Penn State this past weekend?
A: It was good. Everything went like it was supposed to. I felt contented. I met a lot of new people, got to know Coach Johnson better. I really enjoyed meeting Coach Paterno. It was a good game. It was a good trip.
[We're glad Thornton thought it was "a good game." We were somewhat less thrilled!]
Q: Contented, huh? Did you commit, or are you close to committing?
A: No, no. Everything’s still the same. I went up there to get a look at football outside the South. I wanted to see how it stacks up. Not bad.
Q: So is it indeed a two-team race between Georgia and Auburn then?
A: Those are two schools that I’ve always liked.
[This is a very interesting non-answer. Perhaps Thornton will be a pre-law major?]
Q: Do you like one of the best?
A: I like them both.
[Another non-answer.]
Q: What about Michigan? You said you wanted to get a look at Michigan?
A: I’m still trying to do that but I don’t really know if that’s going to happen. I’ve got some conflicts, some family things to take care of. We’ll see.
[Translation: "I'm going to stay away from that train wreck."]
Q: What’s this fascination with Big Ten schools anyway?
A: My whole thing with the Big Ten conference is I always thought the players were so big, but not so fast. But I was standing right next to them and they didn’t see that big to me. I was bigger than most of the guys I saw. The speed is about the same as the SEC though.
[Whither Southern Speed®?]
In other recruiting news, Michael Dyer, one of the top-ranked tailbacks in America, committed to Auburn on Friday. We have to think this cuts Marcus Lattimore's list down to four.
South Carolina has been the long-time leader for Lattimore, but Penn State appeared to gain ground last weekend.
