Black Shoe Diaries Penn State Receivers

One of Penn State's concerns for the upcoming season is at the wide receiver position.  The loss of the top three receivers has opened up opportunities for the younger members of the Lions to shine.  One benefit to the new group of receivers is that Clark and Royster can expect to receive better down field blocking from the larger bodied receivers.  Newcomer Justin Brown might place his name in the hat for all Big-Ten Freshman of the Year if he can crack the depth chart and become one of Clark's favorite targets.  A brief look at Brown's physical attributes shows that he added 20lbs since 2007 and should be ready to play in the fall.  Brown stands at 6'3" and has 4.4 speed.  Not quite as fast as Williams, but one of the faster options that PSU has at receiver.

Black Shoe Diaries Navarro Bowman's future

As the preseason hype begins to build for the upcoming Penn State football season there is one question that needs to be answered:  What is Navarro Bowman's status?

Will Bowman be on the team, will he be suspended for several games, Will he suit up and be on the field for Akron?

 

In my opinion Bowman should face a short suspension, say 25% of the regular season or the first three games.  I definetely do not think Bowman should be kicked off the team.  Bowman is an outstanding football player with great potential who will not benfit from being excused from the University.  Bowman has the ability to overcome whatever issues he has and if things workout for him, he can become a role model for making a "positive" change.
