There is bad news and good news on the Penn State football recruiting front.

Unfortunately, the bad news is definitive, while the good news is more speculative...

The bad news is 4-star defensive end Dominique Easley is no longer a Nittany Lion. (Technically he was never a Nittany Lion, but we begin to think in those terms when a player makes a verbal "commitment.")

Easley told ESPN, "Penn State's a good school but I wanted to get off the East Coast and do something different."

It's looks like Easley's finalists are Oregon and Miami. (Apparently Miami is no longer hard on the Atlantic.)

On the good side of the ledger, Joe Paterno is scheduled to make a rare in-home visit with 5-star running back Marcus Lattimore on January 28th.

South Carolina is thought to be the leader for Lattimore, with Oregon and Georgia also in the running.

The conventional wisdom has the Gamecocks in the lead, but Lattimore's father, Vernon Smith, told Nittany Network that it's wide-open: "Nobody is really in front of anybody. Everybody is still in the running pretty much."
