It seems as if the Nittany Lions are in perfect position to grab their second top national quarterback recruit for the class of 2010.
Michigan's Robert Bolden, considered among the top 10 nationally at his position, said he will make his announcement from his high school on Friday.
The telling part? He's be choosing from among Penn State, Oregon and Louisville -- and he never so much as stepped foot on campus of the latter two schools.
He's made at least two visits to Penn State in the past few months and the Lions appeared to become his clear leader after Michigan State received a verbal commitment from another promising quarterback two weeks ago.
Bolden's verbal would probably give the Lions the top quarterback recruiting class in the nation, which also includes Pittsburgh-area star Paul Jones. (As an interesting aside, Jones had surgery on an ankle that he injured playing basketball and probably will be out of action for up to two months).
"I'm definitely a dual-threat type guy," Bolden told Scout.com. "When things break down I can get out of it. I can make plays with my legs and that's a plus.
"But I'm still trying to get faster. I'm running a lot of track because I want to work on my speed. Track also helps me with my balance and coordination. It definitely helps my footwork."
