The Long View

eric17, in the forum:

I posted in the other thread about Khalil Iverson’s recruitment, but it’s little stuff like this that still amazes me. Have you ever seen Syracuse fans fawn over Penn State basketball recruits?

We are legitimizing our program on the grassroots scene, even with the slow progress on the court. This year has definitely been frustrating because it was a great chance to move up in a weak Big Ten. But even with the disappointment, I don’t know how this level of recruiting doesn’t trump everything going on right now with the program. We need to see where this plateaus first because it’s only trending up right now. The reviews continue to pour in for Mike Watkins, too. With these guys impressing at national events, more and more high school players and coaches are noticing the talent heading to State College. Helps make it easier to recruit, especially with a new NBA ambassador as well!
