\"\"<\/a>Throwing down on a 6-foot-9 police officer tends to get a teenager excited.<\/p>\n

[Nazeer] Bostick explained the story like this: He was playing against a group of South Philadelphia cops this summer at an event called\u00a0Peace Not Guns.<\/a><\/p>\n

With dozens of spectators circling the park, the 6-foot-4 forward remembers catching a pass on the baseline and driving toward the paint, where the policeman waited near the rim.<\/p>\n

When the lanky cop rose to try and swat Bostick’s shot,\u00a0the future Penn State Nittany Lion\u00a0<\/a>“just took off.”<\/p>\n

“And, I dunked on him,” Bostick said. “Everybody went crazy and ran on the court.”<\/p>\n

Bostick’s slam over one of South Philly’s finest makes for a dynamite conversation starter, but it also illustrates the head-turning athleticism that helped him become an integral part of\u00a0Penn State’s most heralded recruiting class in recent memory.<\/p>\n

The first of three players in his class from Roman Catholic to pledge to the Lions, Bostick is ranked as the seventh-best prospect in Pennsylvania and 60th<\/sup>-best small forward in the country by ESPN.<\/p>\n

Bostick and teammates Tony Carr and Lamar Stevens, the state’s top two talents, are expected to sign with PSU on Wednesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
