And yeah, we had an "in" with Talor, but...

…look at the other schools these kids are going to: Duke, Duke, Villanova, Georgetown, Wake Forest, UNC, Maryland, Duke, Tennessee, and…Penn State.

Don't mean to be a Debbie downer but....

Let’s just hope he sticks with the commitment – and if he does, not transfer after Battle is down with his eilgibility ….cough crispin brothers cough

How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?

I think the feel of this team is very different.

The team just seemed to be falling apart with transfers at the time Crispin transferred, Ed has the team building towards improvement and I just don’t think kids are going to transfer like Crispin did. If Buie can have a decent team to lead he will have no motivation to be anywhere else vs being the only good player on a crappy team.

Everything I've read

about the family atmosphere of the team and from the family tells me that Buie is in it to finish what his brother has started. There is even another Buie who wants to play baseball for PSU.

Yep

Everything I have heard from people is the family loves Penn State, and Penn State loves them back. Penn State has Mamma on its side, which is the best thing going for the school.

You need a new perspective

The worry isn’t whether he will transfer out after Battle graduates but whether he will opt for the NBA draft after 1 or 2 years.

Thats something

I never thought I’d have to think about as a PSU B-Ball fan.

Nah

His mom is moving to State College. He’s not going anywhere.

Yeah, but Jon Crispin SUCKED.

Outside of one good game at Rupp Arena, that is, where we beat Kentucky on their home floor. Beyond that? Meh.

Thanks, RR.

This is now twice in the past 24 hours I’ve had my website linked to. I wonder when was the last time this happened with any site?

Anyone know...

Is this the first five star player we’ve ever had a commit from?

Regardless, after last year, the pride of this struggling program that somehow pulled off making it to a championship tourney at the NIT, and the heart that the players showed I’m halfway considering buying season student tix for the b-ball games this year. Any thoughts? Should I just try to get GA tickets?

by dawsonPSU10 on May 29, 2009 6:33 PM EDT reply actions  

I would have agreed

but I just looked it up. Jeff Brooks was the only 4 star commit I see via Scout that we’ve had since 2002 (that’s as far as their history goes back)

by dawsonPSU10 on Jun 2, 2009 7:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

More or less.

Lisicky was pretty well regarded, but not 5 star.
