Watkins, Zemgulis, Reaves and others on campus

Lions 247 with a great Skills Camp writeup:

Penn State hosted its most talented camp, by far, under fourth-year head coach Patrick Chambers over the weekend.

2015 SG Josh Reaves is at the top Penn State’s wishlist.

Among those in attendance were 2015 verbal commits in Mike Watkins and Deividas Zemgulis, in addition to standout senior Josh Reaves.

2015 commits

Mike Watkins

Penn State’s first 2015 commit continued to show improvements with his game on the court. Watkins showed off a nice post move on 2016 forward Joe Hampton, in addition to his usual assortment of blocks and rebounds. The 6-foot-8 215 pounder still bites on a pump fake every now and again, but looks more fluid since his first trip to camp last summer.

Deividas Zemgulis

The Lithuania native every bit of his listed 6-foot-6, and is one hell of a basketball player. Zemgulis has a nose for the ball on defense and was always in the mix for defensive boards. Offensively,the St. Mary’s Ryken senior was lights out from all over the court, which included a go-ahead three off a pick with 14 seconds to go to put his team in the lead for good. He’s a good athlete with a skill set that translates nicely to the next level.

2015 targets

Josh Reaves

Fresh off a high school switch to national power Oak Hill Academy, Reaves was all over the court at the Penn State camp. The Nittany Lions coaching staff gave the 247Sports Composite No. 93 player a five-star treatment, chatting in his ear at every turn. Playing on assistant coach Dwayne Anderson’s team, Reaves was electric in transition and active on defense. The athletic 6-foot-5 guard is the top target on Penn State’s board for 2015, and he’s high on the Nittany Lions as well. …

Is that a corner up ahead?
