It wouldn’t be right not to Let Morelli ride off into the sunset with his dreams of being the latest in the great line of Penn State QBs like Kerry Collins, and, um, uh, Todd Blackledge, and … well I’m sure the numbers are legion. Anyways, the point is, Morelli did have something to say about his decision. I mean, he is a serious student with dreams of academic achievement.

“There were a lot of things Penn State had to offer as far as academics,” said Morelli who plans to major in kinesiology. “It was about more than football. It opened my eyes. I thought that this was the place I needed to be.”

Uh, kinesiology? He wants to study to be a phys. ed. teacher? Well, I guess Penn State is the place.

I guess it just came down to the coaching. Right?

“I liked Pitt alot,” Morelli said. “I like coach Harris. He’s a great coach and I believe he can get me to the NFL. But you can’t base your decision on a coach.”

So it’s the institution, not the coach? Well, actually that kind of makes sense in this case.
