**One of the nation’s top JUCO basketball players has Penn State listed in his final 10. He is set to announce his decision Oct. 18. Some tough competition here for PSU to compete with.
I would like to thank all the schools that have recruited me you helped a kid who never played in highschool get one step closer to his dreams. That being said I will be focusing in on these 10 schools and will be committing on October 18th #2W💜 #AGTG pic.twitter.com/xiL9XA1Cvp

**Former Penn State LB Troy Reeder making his mark in NFL.
Good things come in threes. @troyreeder9 notches his first career sack then adds two more for a hat trick in Sunday's win!

Update: 9 a.m.
**We are now less than two weeks away from Penn State’s season opener at Indiana, and we still don’t know if it will be played on Friday, Oct. 23 or Saturday, Oct. 24.
We should find that out today. Actually, we need to find that out today, especially if the game is going to be on a Friday so that both teams know exactly what they’ll need to be doing to prepare.
It would make a lot of sense for the PSU game to be on Friday night. Below is the Big Ten’s opening-week schedule, and having a national brand and top 10 team play on a Friday night would be good exposure for the Lions, Indiana and the league.
If the Big Ten is going to put any of these games on the Friday night, the PSU contest might make the most sense.
-Nebraska at Ohio State
-Michigan at Minnesota
-Penn State at Indiana
-Iowa at Purdue
-Illinois at Wisconsin
-Rutgers at Michigan State
-Maryland at Northwestern
**Can you believe it’s been 41 years since the Steelers started a season 4-0? That seems so strange, given how good the franchise has been for so long, but sure enough, that is indeed the case.
Brothers.
