I would say Lundy returns, but consider everyone else gone (though, I'm not talking about TB in this convo). If anyone besides Lundy returns -- great! But figure no one else will return, so that you're not disappointed.Opinions on the chances for a return to PSU for the rest.......
PSU Basketball’s Izaiah Brockington Back, Myreon Jones Gone … The rest?
The fates of two PSU Basketball players in the transfer portal are known, but several more Nittany Lions futures remain uncertain.victorybellrings.com
I do think Lundy is back and as mentioned in that article I think his opportunity to play at least one season with brown, figuring he commits for 2022, is part of it.
That seems like a decent starting five, until you consider the other starting fives that we will be competing against.
Definitely not a 2...in the traditional sense, probably a 3, but I thought he did function best in a 4 in our Chambers/Ferry offense.
He's a 3, IMO, just like Lamar was when we recruited him. Only, Lamar hit a 3-inch growth spurt while in college. It would be nice if Lundy does the same.
They would be a decent starting five for penn state, based upon history. Jones, Harrar, and Wheeler are the three Most valuable players from last season. If we don’t get new upgrades from the portal, we will regress.
Lykes and Timberlake both are from the dmv and played for Fisher at um. I do think that there is some positive momentum for them to come here. Not going to say they are even more than 25% but now we are on the board.
He could go low D1 and get a more prominent role. Otherwise hes coming off the bench here or at another high or mid major.
Tough to get much closer than he is today, so I doubt geography is a huge factor. But maybe it’s one of the PA patriot league or NEC schools.
That would be if we don’t pick up a transfer big (and I will be very surprised if we don’t). Plus, as someone mentioned, he’s playing out of position at the 5, and might want to be somewhere that better suits his skill-set.
Tsimbila and incoming freshman Hutchins-Everett are at the 5. While buttrick could get minutes over them his primary job would be to back up lundy at the 4 if he comes back. Combine that with the almost certainty of a big coming out of the portal and he will get similar minutes as last year
He went down there for his last two years, but “home” for him is in Bloomsburg (unless something has changed).
Hutchins-Everett doesn’t have an offer from us at the moment, from what I heard (or at least didn’t, though that could have changed).
Shrews has not offered EHE yet. Shrews/staff will evaluate him on their own before extending an offer... Shrews was not recruiting EHE, so he does not know him as a player yet. That is why he has not been updated to a commit for Penn State in the recruiting databases.

anywhere other than PSU...he is terrible and hated Ferry playing him so much this year when I thought the RS Freshman should have gotten more minutes.

Hes a guy that really would have benefited from 4 or 5 more ooc games. He is still learning the game. I could see a progression similar to harrar
Tsimbila came in raw, very raw, but with time and good coaching he will be a good post player for us. You can’t teach size and can’t make slow twitch muscles twitch fast. He has both size and super athleticism. He has a higher upside that Harear, let’s hope he has half the work ethic.
I think it was also said...youth is a disease that can be cured....
