From a Penn St. Blog...
March 27: Four recruits were on campus--offensive lineman Cyrus Kouandjio, defensive tackles Darian Cooper and Marquise Wright, and athlete Brandon Phelps. At such an early stage of the recruiting process, most recruits are just happy to be on campus. This wasn't any different, with all four prospects saying they thoroughly enjoyed their visits.
Wright has referred to Penn State as his "dream school."

The staff is definitely casting a wider net than the previous one. I guess the thinking is that maybe they will throw out as many as possible to the highest rated kids nationally with the hopes that someone will bite. My guess is that with the limited resources of the staff they know they can only spend so much time actually contacting these kids and will focus more on the ones who they have the best shots at landing. BK seemed fine with being the first to offer a kid with some of the guys never seeing any other BCS offers. Different strategies for sure.
BK did the same thing. I like it as opposed to focusing on one guy, then moving to the next. Makes for a lonely dance come NSD.
However, there's casting a wide net..and then there is wasting time. I guess if one of these 'not on the bubble' guys fall, it's worth it.

My dad won a state championship in track for Paramus Catholic, and many of my family friends have strong connections to the school, so this recruit is particularly interesting for me. Wright was only hovering around seven offers or so back in the winter, but that number has risen to more than a dozen. These are no ho-hum offers, either. Florida State, Georgia, Miami, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, and West Virginia are just some of the offers extended to Wright. He did say last week, however, that Rutgers hasn't offered, and that he's pretty much lost all interest in the Knights.
Earlier this week, Wright was also nominated for the 2011 U.S. Army All-American game in San Antonio, Texas. With the nomination, Wright joins several Penn State recruits from New Jersey, including Savon Huggins, Gary Nova and Angelo Mangiro.
When it comes to Penn State... Even though Wright has Penn State as his leader, he appears to want to wait until the end of the summer before pulling the trigger. But that doesn't take away from his interest in the Penn State, which Wright previously referred to as his "dream school." Wright has been to University Park twice since opening up his recruitment. One of those trips was to the Blue-White Game. Wright could be the headliner in a fantastic crop of defensive linemen for Penn State's 2011 class.
