[URL='http://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/index.ssf/2014/02/penn_state_hosts_approximately.html#incart_special-report'][U]According to PennLive.com, Penn State hosted several four-star prospects Saturday[/U][/URL], including Sayreville's Myles Hartsfield and St. Peter's Prep's Brandon Wimbush. Don Bosco Prep's Daivon Ellison, South Brunswick's Dontae Strickland and St. Peter's Prep's Jordan Fox were also in attendance. Rutgers commit Saquon Barkley – a Pennsylvania native – also attended the event, much to the chagrin of the Rutgers fan base. The 5-11, 200-pound Whitehall (Pa.) running back is rumored to have flipped his commitment to his in-state school during the unofficial visit, but it is not yet confirmed.

"And if another school comes along -- say like a Penn State, Pitt, North Carolina. Say when I visit them, I feel better at that place and it fits me better as a running back for my four-to-five years of college, then that will be the college I pick to play for." Although Barkley admits to having a strong affinity for Penn State, when asked about the possibility of flipping to the school last December, he said Rutgers didn't really have "anything to worry about." "There was an article about me and my interest in Penn State, and I guess Rutgers saw it and I think they got worried. They've been talking to me a lot lately. But I don't think there is really anything to worry about," said Barkley. "But I've been talking to them and communicating with coach (Darrell) Wilson and coach (Tariq) Ahmad." So, it remains to be seen where Barkley will land with a year remaining until National Signing Day 2015. A few prospects double dipped over the weekend, attending both Penn State and Boston College's junior days. Englewood's Wesley McCoy and Wallington's Adam and Ryan Adzima joined Ellison, Wimbush and Fox at Boston College, the day following their unofficial visits to Penn State. Ellison – a three star recruit with offers from Rutgers and Boston College – provided feedback from both events. [B]Penn State: [/B]It was exciting. It was a very productive day. The coaches kept it real with me and made me feel I like I was family already. And I just felt comfortable there. [B]Boston College: [/B]It was real good because obviously they offered me. So they had me talking to head coach (Steve) Addazio, and he kept it real with me, also. All these other schools are worried about my size. But they just like the way I play, and my size doesn't really affect them. And it was a real nice campus, too. Ellison will also attend Rutgers' unofficial visitors' weekend in March.
