In this book, Coach Paterno said that he only wants a certain type of individual to play at Penn State. Young men of resolute character. The Coach mentioned that there was a highly regarded receiver from New Jersey, who was at the time playing for the nation's best college team, but the Coach had not bothered recruiting him because there were questions about grades and the like.
The receiver in question was USC's Dwayne Jarrett, a first round pick in the recent NFL draft. When queried as to Coach Paterno's assertion, Mr. Jarrett responded that he was all but speechless, as Penn State had attempted to recruit him, but he had advised the University that he had no interest in attending.
