Centre Daily Times | 05/05/2005 | Recruits add depth for Penn State:
“Help is on the way.
“Again.
“After two seasons of watching predominately freshman guards struggle through Big Ten play, Penn State men’s basketball coach Ed DeChellis and his staff shored up their backcourt once more during the spring recruiting period.
“David Jackson, a versatile 6-foot-3 combo guard from Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Fla., and Maxwell Dubois, a rangy 6-3 wing from Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., join European post players Joonas Suotamo and Milos Bogetic and Columbus, Ohio, forward Jamelle Cornley in what Penn State believes is one of the most athletic classes it has assembled.
” ‘We’ve got a very good blend now of skill players and some athleticism,’ DeChellis said. ‘Which gives us variety, which is important to our development.’
“If nothing else — and DeChellis has learned the hard way during his first two seasons at Penn State that there are no guarantees — the Nittany Lions will have more depth in the coming season, particularly in the backcourt. …”
