Incoming WR's Turn

Yesterday BGA posted about incoming quarterback Thomas Militello being recognized as one of the top college football-bound seniors in the St. Louis area. Today it is Dartmouth recruit Victor Williams being selected as one of The Oklahoman's Super 30 ranking.

Here's what the Oklahoman wrote about the 5-foot-9, 165-pound speedster:

". . . (S)ize kept some higher profile programs away but the versatile Williams turned in big numbers against tough competition as a senior."

One program making a late run at him is Tulsa according to Rivals.

Brown's official website now has a posting up: Brown Mourns The Passing of Joe Paterno '50. Coach Phil Estes is quoted:

"This a sad day for the Brown University community and the Brown Football Program. My heart felt thoughts and prayers go out to the Paterno Family."

And . . .

"Joe Paterno was a great mentor for all of college football. I have considered him my role model for my career here at Brown. I had several opportunities to talk with Joe about football and Brown University, and will cherish those memories. Coach Paterno has been an important part of our football tradition and we will continue to celebrate his storied career and life."

Another video with new Columbia football coach Pete Mangurian that inspires confidence that the former Cornell head coach and longtime NFL assistant can get it done at Columbia. Very impressive.

Lehighvalleylive.com has an update on Princeton tailback Chuck Dibilio's recovery from a stroke. His father, also Chuck, told the site:

"He's making huge strides.Physically, he's back to normal. His speech is back to normal. He has a clear recollection of what happened. The only problem he has is with speech recognition, and that will come with time."

Also from the story:

If all goes well, Dibilio is expected to return to his home in Nazareth on Wednesday. It's still possible he'll return to Princeton on a reduced workload for the spring semester, which begins Feb. 6.

"He doesn't want to take the semester off," his father said. "He would only take one or two courses, but Princeton wants to make it happen any way they can.

"I'm 100 percent sure we made the right decision in choosing Princeton. They're really taking care of him. Everybody from the students, coaches, administration ... I can't tell you how great the support has been."
