started talking to me and offered me. I talk to Coach Franklin, the running backs coach, the wide receivers coach. Pretty much the whole coaching staff is texting me daily, letting me know that they re- ally want me. They're coming at me hard." A member of the Rivals100, Curry has earned o8ers from many of the nation's best, including Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, TCU and Tennessee. He's already taken o9cial vis- its to Auburn and Tennessee, which means he has three remaining visits. One of those trips will be to Penn State, as Curry is set to take an o9cial visit to Uni- versity Park on the weekend of the Ohio State game. "They're coming at me full speed and are de7nitely one of my top schools," Curry said. "They've been showing love since they've started talking to me." One other notable development in re- cent weeks concerns the overall size of this year's class. With players such as Miner, Robert Martin and Nana Asiedu no longer part of the active roster, it looks as if the Nittany Lions will be able to use all, or nearly all, of the 25 allotted scholar- ships in the Class of 2019. Back in the spring, it looked as if the class would max out at about 20 members. Even with the addition of Porter, there's a good chance that Penn State will try to sign one more defensive back. Safety Lewis Cine, who is from Everett, Mass., but now plays in Texas, remains the staff 's top target. However, the de- fensive line remains the Lions' top pri- ority. Defensive end Adisa Isaac of Brooklyn, N.Y., and defensive tackle Jared Hunte of Middle Village, N.Y., both appear to be leaning toward Penn State. The staff is also still pushing for five- star defensive end Zach Harrison of Columbus, Ohio. On o8ense, quarterback is the only po- sition that appears to be set. We expect Penn State to add one more tight end, and Brenton Strange of Parkersburg, W.Va., looked to be the most likely candidate as of mid-September. The sta8 would like to add two more running backs if pos- sible, with Noah Cain of Denton, Texas, and Aaron Young of Coatesville, Pa., near the top of their wish list. In addition to Curry, Indianapolis native David Bell is an important target at wide re- ceiver. In fact, we believe that Bell is ahead of both Curry and Cornelius John- son of Greenwich, Conn., although all three are very good prospects. Finally, Jakai Moore of Nokesville, Va., and Trevor Keegan of Crystal Lake, Ill., remain the sta8's top targets on the of- fensive line. Penn State appears to have a better shot at signing Moore, although Keegan has been on campus multiple times and will take an o9cial visit at some point this season. ■ CONSIDERING PSU Antony-Richards has spoken highly of the Nittany Lions' coaching staff.
