Just hours after the Nittany Lions dumped Baylor 69-63 in the NIT championship game at New York&#8217;s Madison Square Garden, Buie told Penn State players and coaches of his choice. Other finalists were Maryland, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<p>Buie, from Bishop Maginn High School, is the son of former Harrisburg High standout Dan Buie, who is Battle&#8217;s step-father. Currently a junior, Buie would join the Nittany Lions for the 2010-11 campaign, which would be Battle&#8217;s senior season. Several scouting Web sites list Buie as a Top 100 recruit nationwide, including Top 20 at his position.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bwi.rivals.com\/content.asp?CID=931509\">Blue-White Illustrated<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fox23news.com\/content\/newsalert\/story\/Maginns-Buie-to-Join-His-Brother-at-Penn-State\/w81G-cdQXky31VILGV8Ybw.cspx\">Fox 23 Albany with Coach Hurley confirming<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.collegian.psu.edu\/archive\/2009\/04\/03\/battles_brother_commits.aspx\">Collegian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesunion.com\/AspStories\/story.asp?storyID=786698\">Albany Times Union<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs6albany.com\/sports\/buie_1262283___article.html\/penn_state.html\">Channel 6 in Albany<\/a> reports that Taran will have a press conference Monday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.troyrecord.com\/articles\/2009\/04\/04\/sports\/doc49d6e8fde43d5032457144.txt\">Troy, NY, Record<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave Jones broke the news: Taran Buie, a 6-2 off-guard from Albany, N.Y. and younger brother of Penn State guard Talor Battle, verbally committed Thursday night to play his collegiate basketball with the Nittany Lions, a dependable school source said.
