Bob Cohn in the Pittsburgh Tribune:<\/p>\n

Here’s the surprise: Penn State men’s basketball is doing well in recruiting, too. Very well. With four top players committed, coach Patrick Chambers’ 2016 recruiting class is getting big raves, nationally ranked ninth by 247Sports (ahead of North Carolina), ninth by Scout.com (ahead of Kentucky) and 12th by Rivals.com. ESPN.com has three of the players in its Top 100.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After making recruiting inroads a year ago, Penn State has taken a giant leap into unexplored territory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt’s just not something that we’re used to seeing,\u201d Rivals national recruiting analyst Eric Bossi said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if the rankings dip when other programs start reeling in their commitments, \u201cit doesn’t matter where they end up,\u201d Bossi said. \u201cThis is a noticeable effort. Definitely, people are raising their eyebrows.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
