I'd rather wait and see if this can be confirmed by more than one reliable source, but it's definitely believeable.

I'm certain we will real soon if this is true.

The nice thing is that this Brian Cook guy wrote this yesterday-

Former Penn State Nittany Lion, Ryan Nowicki put a call in to Realdawg.com Wednesday morning upon completing his visit to Arizona State. Will there be anymore visits for him? Or is it now time to deliberate?

It's premium, but you get the idea from that first paragraph. So I wonder if Nowicki followed up today with them. Sounds like Cook might have heard the news straight from Nowicki.

And Obert confirms-

OL Ryan Nowicki just told Illinois coaches he will be playing for them, leaving Penn State

It's just a habit of mine to see if more than one person says it's true first. My gut tells me Nowicki will come to Illinois. All the signs pointed that way all along anyway

And that makes 8??? transfers for Penn State with a possible 9th coming later if Brown decides to go to Oklahoma

Brown would be their second biggest loss behind Redd, so lets hope that happens

[RHITIllini]

if Brown goes that offense is going to suffer immensely.

I figure this is as good of a thread as any to post this:

CollegeFootballTalk ‏@CFTalk
UConn announces that Chandler Whitmer is their No. 1 QB. Whitmer redshirted at Illinois in 2010 before transferring to JUCO ranks.

thata good news too. When a guy transfers out for PT, its awesome for him when it works out. Lets hope he stays healthy and has a great year for them.

good for Whitmer....even better for us that we got Nowicki now lets get Brown to come with his teammate to ILLINI......would be huge for us to have a big target with some talent to throw to with Milliens Harris and Langford

I will definitely be rooting for Chandler. Even though it didn't work out for him here, he always was a huge Illini fan during his recruitment and left on pretty good terms.

Sweet news on Nowicki. I'm pumped

Judging by the reax of some PennSt fans, almost every player who's transferred stinks & never would've helped the program.

Especially Silas Redd..

Good luck gaining more than 150 yards a game next year PSU..

McGloin better have some really good health insurance, he's about to get killed.

I just hope we win the Penn State game. Decisively.
