You might remember Joe Hampton from his original verbal commitment to Penn State in August of last year, or perhaps his decommitment from Penn State in March of this year. Well, he's back. Earlier today on Twitter, Hampton broke the news himself that he is recommitting to the Nittany Lions:
I decided to commit back to Penn State University ⚪️

In August of 2014, Hampton committed to Penn State as a consensus 4-star player who was getting set to begin his junior season at the prestigious Oak Hill Academy. While the starzzz may have fallen off slightly, Penn State is still getting a very talented player, at a huge position of need. Full credit to Pat Chambers and Dwayne Anderson for keeping on Joe, and securing his commitment for a second time.
Hampton's height probably works against him to some degree when it comes to the rankings, as he falls in that awkward spot between a prototypical power forward, and a small forward. Nevermind though, as he has continually shown impressive skill.
