Penn State football will host one of it’s biggest recruiting weekends of the year as dozens of elite national prospects make their way to Happy Valley to see the Nittany Lions take on Michigan.
So too will Penn State men’s basketball.
Head coach Patrick Chambers and the Nittany Lions are expecting to host four official visitors, as well as a handful of prospects from the Class of 2019 and 2020.
Let’s get into it, here:
Official visits
Penn State has two commitments for the Class of 2018 and is hosting both this weekend in Myles Dread and Rasir Bolton.
Two more Class of 2018 prospects are set to join them in the form of Jared Rhoden and Tolu Jacobs.
Rhoden is a 6-foot-6, 190 pound wing out of Our Saviour Lutheran School in Bronx, N.Y., and this will be his final official visit before he makes a decision. He’s got Seton Hall, Wichita State, Saint Louis and Santa Clara with the Nittany Lions in his final five.
Jacobs, meanwhile, is a 7-footer originally from Nigeria and now at Capital Christian in Elk Grove, Calif. Rivals.com has him listed as a three-star center prospect. Highlights below.
Both of these undecided kids are expected to make decisions within the next two weeks.
Unofficial visits
Class of 2019
Dahmir Bishop
Bishop is a 6-foot-4 guard out of Imhotep Charter in Philadelphia, making a return appearance after attending Penn State’s Elite Camp over the summer where he picked up an offer. Has offers from several others including VCU, St. Joe’s, Rutgers and more.
Zach Crisler
Crisler, a power forward out of LaSalle College High School in Philly, is also coming back for another visit to Penn State. He’s listed at 6-foot-9, 200 pounds and has a Penn State offer.
Good story on Crisler from this summer.
