BSD was lucky to get some one-on-one time with Chambers down in DC last week.

Here's the transcript of the interview.

Pitt wants him back and they're getting that message to Jeter's family. I don't think PSU could be a player in this even if Chambers was open to it.

While Baldwin plans on visiting Penn State and Virginia Tech soon, it’s safe to say his recruitment is far from over.

Also, 2015 G Jarvis Johnson from Minnesota (high school teammate of Reid Travis) was offered during the recent live period.

Interest in 2015 G/F Malik Ellison of Roman Catholic (Pa.) | http://saintjosephs.scout.com/2/1287764.html

We could offer as many as 6 kids from that 16U We-R1 AAU team before it's all said and done. Already offered 3 - Traci Carter, Tim Delaney, and Derrick Jones. Ellison, Tyler Kohl, and Ernest Aflakpui might not be far behind.

If you don't see the difference here, then you are just looking to make noise.

The irony just keeps coming.

There seems to be no doubt that Bankshot has something against Chambers. It is also apparent that he likes to antagonize people.

Putting those 2 things aside, he does have a point:
"You never, ever discuss your staff and personnel decisions until the situation is final."

That part of his statement is true. It makes no sense why this would be brought out. The should not be anyone in the program talking about the possibility of a departure. The only statement that should be made is if that person departs. There is nothing good, only bad that can come from this.

Do you ever recall the anyone in the Athletic Department commenting on O'Brien interviewing with the NFL teams? No. It was leaked that he was interviewing, and that only came after he turned down the jobs.

This is ridiculous.

All you did for two months was complain about how we didn't know anything about who was transferring. Hence, there was no one "in the program talking about the possibility of a departure." The program didn't confirm anything until the transfers were final aka when the player's got their release. You would not shut up about this ever since the season ended (and even before!).

But now that Chambers was honest with a reporter who followed up on a lead about an assistant coach who was debating whether or not to return, your story has changed.

Am I right, in assuming Jaylan has three years left to play two?

Yes.

Is he required to redshirt next season then before playing his last two at whichever new school he chooses or can he play right away?

Barring some unforeseen circumstance that's not public, he's going to have to sit out a year. It's nice to have him visit, but I do think Temple is where he'll eventually decide.

I believe, Bond is the "big fish" on the PSU board. I would guess all other recruit offers will be based on Bond's decision.
Bond has a big league NBA type body. I think the red-shirt year will greatly help his development.
What are the chances he knows John Johnson?

They all know each other. Philly hoops is a tight-knit community, whether it's the high school season, AAU teams, the Donofrio Classic, the Chosen League, or any other scholastic all-star game that city puts on. There's a lot of pride and competition for the title of 'best in the city'.

It hasn't produced the commitments we've hoped for so far, but the staff's Philly connections have made getting quality Philly kids on campus almost a given at this point.
