According to Niko. Hearing possibly Jones too.

interesting

Dukes is a RS Senior. 2 years left.

Would love to add Dukes to the RB mix. If he's the "one" I'd be happy. Not that I'd suggest Marrone say no to Mr. Jones, of course...

There goes Marrone's and O'Brien's friendship.

I should clarify. He would talk to them not "to".

sure is better than a stick in the eye, thanks for the info bees

Him being willing is the important part. Don't see why SU wouldn't at least talk to him.

If he really has 2 years left him coming here would not impact any other rb recruit for 2013 (assuming that recruit would redshirt his freshman season)

would jones really be a need?

I don't think we'd turn down talent like that if he wanted to come here.

Article says RS Junior. But that does mean 2 years left (I think). :noidea:

I think I got the phrasing wrong. Ya, 2 years though.

Dukes at 242 pounds might be more of an HBack but the kids who should worry are AAM and Jerome.

Dukes was third on the team with 237 yards on 41 carries for a 5.8 yards per carry average. Jerome by comparison was 37 for 139.

I personally think we need running backs and the competition isn't anything but a postive. Sometimes I scratch my head around here. We must be the only sub 500 team who's worried about kids' playing time and too much depth.

And Dukes is a redshirt junior.

He's probably an upgrade at the power back position. JS and AAM move down a peg. Doesn't address the need for speed.

i think he would be great, starter

After reading that I'm not sure the best thing for him isn't staying at PSU and finishing up his degree.

 

[retro44]

the verbal abuse the penn st. players will get on the road will have many of them thinking they should have gotten the death penalty.

Which in the grand scheme of things is sad since not a single one of them played a part in this mess.

Why?

 

[Noexcuse]

Why?

Academic issues. Not sure he would be able to transfer in enough credits. Ultimately it should be about getting a degree. Just my opinion, maybe he has everything in order now after sitting out the spring.

Glad you said it, because that was my take too.

Didn't Jones start out on offense?
