St. Joseph's Prep offensive lineman Mark Arcidiacono is set to announce his college decision today, and unless his coach is wrong, the junior is committing to Penn State. Arcidiacono, a 6-foot-4, 289-pound tackle, will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. at the Prep, and the Nittany Lions and Florida are the finalists. Even though the Gators were making a last-gasp attempt, Prep coach Gil Brooks was predicting that Penn State would be the winner.

Hey, one for the Lions! About time! You guys need a little good news as much as we do concerning Ann-Arbor. Nice to see players go with the Big-Ten instead of the southern conferences. Wish him well.

that's good news, considering the other two signees for 2009 are nothing to write home about.

I was starting to think Paterno COMPLETELY LOST his recruiting ability! It is nice to see him and his staff land a big time recruit...way to go PSU!

Hate to say this but if this is best that PSU can do, they are in trouble. Now, don't have a knee jerk reaction because I am not saying this kid sucks. Just saying that Pitt had a better recruiting class last year than powerhouse PSU. Joe PA might be a legend but I think he's hurting the program and his ego and fear of the not coaching won't make him realize the damage he's doing.

Good move for Penn State. Way to prove that they can still recruit.

He will be a good player, but i HIGHLY doubt he had a "committable offer". Good pick up for PSU and maybe later on he could of had a committable offer after some guys dropped off our board.

WTG JoePa, I will always root for him and PSU unless they play UF.
