Welcome, Akosa Maduegbunam

Akosa Maduegbunam’s commitment to Penn State yesterday, confirmed this afternoon by ESPNBoston.com, was a function of the academic and social amenities offered in Happy Valley. But more than anything, it was the product of a special bond the former Charlestown swingman forged with new Nittany Lions head coach Pat Chambers, dating back to when he first offered Maduegbunam as the head man at Boston University.

“I would say Coach Chambers is probably one of the best recruiters ever,” Maduegbunam said this afternoon by phone. “He just makes you feel really welcome, really wanted. I tried to evaluate coaches as to where theyll be down the road.

“Somewhere along the line of life, I’ll stop playing basketball, and Coach Chambers is a guy who would be there at my wedding. He is more than just a college coach. Its more than just basketball for him, its about character and personality. He found that in me, and I found that in him.”
