Would be massiveCould be a HUGE pick-up for the basketball program.
Shep?This is a great "get". I would expect to see the TRUE freshman play a lot this year. Add the class coming in for next year and we will be onto something ;-)
Hard to say what kind of year we will have this year. I "hope" after some "learning" for the frosh in the first part of our schedule they will be a solid foundation. They do not "appear" to be projects.
In short, PLAY them now. I do not think we have ANY "veterans" that can play.
7th ranked recruiting class in the nation for 2016 right now. Dominate the state!
Sir, I know you are on the pulse of Philly HS hoops. Have you seen this guy play?This is a great "get". I would expect to see the TRUE freshman play a lot this year. Add the class coming in for next year and we will be onto something ;-)

Not that long. Our commits will sign in November, before the season even begins - and more importantly, regardless of our 2015-16 record. I think we sign Painter, as well. If we land Stevens, it will be by far the best recruiting class in program history, and it will make two consecutive years that PSU has signed the best class in its history.There is a long way to go, but that is amazing.
Chose us over Pitt. Severe burn.
What do you mean by "Cutting some corners"?Potentially the two best hoops recruiting classes ever in two consecutive years. I have to ask the obvious ... is PC that good of a recruiter with Philly connections or is he "cutting some corners"? I am a true blue Penn Stater and ecstatic about this announcement, but if another non-basketball school (say Northwestern) all of a sudden was getting 4-star recruits I know what I would be thinking.
Don't hate on me! I hope Pat is simply great at selling the school/program and can have success with honor.

Trust me, no one wants to watch a good PSU basketball team play more than me. I just want it done the right way and pray that is how PC is getting it done.I understand your concern, but I don't think Chambers could do this on his own. barbour and others in the athletic department would have to look the other way with respect to Penn State's standards. I don't see that happening. On the positive side, Chambers is charismatic and a player's coach, a lot like Franklin. Of course, Chambers doesn't have the tradition to sell like Franklin does, but like Franklin, Chambers can sell a great school, great campus, etc.
Bison, if you knew me you would know I am the farthest thing from a Pitt fan! I went to PSU when they beat ... I mean played Pitt every year. However, I am trying to look at this from an outsider's perspective. Suppose Rutgers (no b-ball tradition) all of a sudden had two great recruiting classes pulling in 4-star recruits? Don't know about you, but I know what a lot of people would be saying on this board.Chambers has had connections in Philly for a while, he's busted his tail to get these guys, nothing sneaky. That sounds like a Pitt fan remark...
This year will still be tough, but 2017 and on should be tournament years.
“I believe I can go there and change the whole landscape, with guys like Nazeer Bostick and Josh Reaves and Mike watkins and Joe Hampton,” Carr said. “I feel like we can change the whole school around make history up there and be special.”
Combine that with last year's class and PSU could field a very competitive BB team in 2 years.7th ranked recruiting class in the nation for 2016 right now. Dominate the state!
Hell why not this year? I can dream right?Combine that with last year's class and PSU could field a very competitive BB team in 2 years.
Sure you can dream but...Hell why not this year? I can dream right?

Reality plays no role in my dreams.Sure you can dream but...
Devin Foster will probably be our point guard. Quick, lots of hustle, but not much offense. We really need a big year from Taylor, especially with Travis gone. Dickerson or Jack will probably be better but by how much? Watkins will probably take time to develop. A winning record could be tough this year but things are setting up nicely for 2-3 years from now.
- We lose Newbill who was most of our offense (plus Travis & Thorpe)
- Reaves, Watkins, and Zemgulis will be true freshmen
- Carr, Bostick, & Hampton won't arrive until next year.
