I've learned that the Penn State men's basketball program is actually expecting a pretty big recruiting weekend for the Pitt football game on Saturday.
A handful of class of 2019 and '20 prospects are expected to be here.
Let's get into it.
Class of 2019
Maceo Austin: Rivals.com three-star guard - No. 133 overall
Penn State has been on Austin's radar for some time now, and this will be another visit for the Hermitage, Pa., guard back to campus. His offers list is somewhat low right now, but he was recently at Pitt for a visit and has seen interest from Akron and West Virginia in addition to Penn State. He's also high school teammates with Oscar Tshiebwe at Kennedy Catholic.
Oscar Tshiebwe: Rivals.com four-star center - No. 76 overall

Coming off the summer commitment of Rasir Bolton, Tshiebwe has even more connections to Penn State and will now make his first visit to campus. He's an AAU teammate of Bolton's and has a bunch of offers and interest now including Georgetown, Pitt, Penn State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and others. 6-foot-8 center here.
Class of 2020
Hunter Dickinson: Rivals.com five-star center - No. 9 overall
Dickinson already has a Penn State offer to go along with Alabama, Virginia and Notre Dame. He's 6-foot-11, 220 pounds, and coming from DeMatha he's another Team Takeover kid - which Penn State has shown itself to have established tight relationships. And, obviously, a top 10 national kid at this stage in the process for the Class of 2020. First time visit for Hunter.
Ethan Morton: Rivals.com four-star point guard - No. 50 overall
This will be another trip up for Morton, who has been on Penn State's campus already and holds an offer from the Nittany Lions. Also has offers from Pitt, Duquesne and West Virginia, coming out of Butler, Pa., at 6-foot-5, 180 pounds. Just coming off his freshman season, so a long way to go here.
Penn State is also anticipating possible trips up for Bolton and Myles Dread, both of whom are coming off fantastic summer performances in AAU ball.
