As today is National Signing Day for college football I figured we should start an open-thread type for the day that is already unfolding. I’ll try to keep this commitment board up to date as the letters of intent come in for the Nittany Lions.
Players highlighted in green are already enrolled and therefore do not need to submit a letter of intent. Players in blue have submitted their LOI, fulfilling their commitment to the Penn State program.
UPDATE (3:45 PM) – All verbal commitments to Penn State are now officially signed, with Vinh Vuong coming to the Nittany Lions as a preferred walk-on. Stay tuned for continuing coverage of the Class of 2010.

Henderson just announced for the University of Southern California. That was the best scenario for Penn State fans, we do not want to see a player like that donning Scarlet and Gray or Maroon and Gold.
Amazing class. I was really hoping for a last minute commitment from 5 star safety Keenan Allen. Surprising he ended up picking Cal over Penn State.
Any word on Henderson yet? I'm slightly pleased Penn State currently has the top recruiting class in the league. That could change if Henderson picks the Vest.
Interesting bit of information. Of Michigan's recruiting class 11 are from the state of Ohio.
Per Rivals Henderson hasn't made a decision yet, word is he will eventually end up in Columbus though.
Wow! What happened with Cal today. Rivals jumped them above us to the #10 spot overall just on LOI day. And now we are getting the best class in the B10 usually reserved for Michigan or Ohio State? A power shift is imminent.
Think that's weird, take a look at Auburn. Rivals has them as the #3 overall, second best in SEC.
Picking up Bolden was huge for this class. Being a kid from the state of Michigan, that was the only recruit I was nervous about for this class.
It's great to watch Wolverine fans sweat on LOI day after the shenanigans Rich Rod pulled in seasons past. It is 1 hour past potential Michigan/FSU recruit, Dorsey's announcement time. Not a good sign.
And just like that, Dorsey signed his LOI with the University of Michigan. http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1047972
What is taking Henderson so long! Just announce for the Gophers already
Tennessee will announce that Justin Wilcox an extremely respected ass coach from Boise State as the new Volunteer's defensive coordinator today. That's a really smart hire.
A little bit of non-recruiting news, the NCAA has responded to Michigan on alleged practice violations and the board of regents are meeting about it today
This brings me tears of joy. Is that bad?
Owamagbe Odighizuwa the 17th ranked player in ESPN 150 on television making his college choice now. Instead he is reading out what should be in his yearbook's senior profile. Pick a school already!
“No. 8 player in the country, Owamagbe Odighizuwa, giving an Oscar speech before announcing his commitment” by Stewart Mandel of SI on twitter. My thoughts exactly.
And finally! Owamagbe Odighizuwa picks Cal. What a LOI day for Cal!
And finally! Owamagbe Odighizuwa picks the UCLA Bruins. Good luck to Bruin fans in pronouncing his name in the coming years.
It's starting to wind down now, most players have signed their LOI in the B10 with the exception of Henderson and we are basically just waiting on Levi Norwood. Vuong is verbaled to Penn State, but did not hold a scholarship offer so there will not be a LOI. He will be regarded a preferred walk-on though. http://tinyurl.com/ygzbxu5
Thank you and your staff for doing this for us. Its tough to go through the circus of comments found elsewhere and multiple websites for actual information. Appreciate the effort guys!
And that's it folk, all LOIs have been signed and faxed to Penn State marking one of the best recruiting classes in almost a decade for the Nittany Lions. A full recap and Big Ten comparison will follow soon.
Thanks for the updates. Ive been at work trying to keep my eye on work and on LOI's and you guys have been a huge help. Great looking class. Seems to hit all the positions we are in need of. Lets go state.
S Henderson has just announced for the University of Southern Cal. That's great news and the best possibly scenario for Lion fans. One less player of that caliber we have to worry about playing across the field from us in conference.
With Henderson leaving for the Pac 10, this solidifies our class as tops in the Big Ten no? Amazing news and congratulations all around to the coaching staff.
