and PSU adds BIG-TIME Bball recruit tonight too!

[Coach]

FROM PENNLIVE:
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. Just hours after the Nittany Lions dumped Baylor 69-63 in the NIT championship game at New York's Madison Square Garden, Buie told Penn State players and coaches of his choice. The Nittany Lions win out over Maryland, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame.

Buie, from Bishop Maginn High School, is the son of former Harrisburg High standout Dan Buie, who is Battle's step-father. Currently a junior, Buie would join the Nittany Lions for the 2010-11 campaign, which would be Battle's senior season. Several scouting Web sites list Buie as a Top 100 recruit nationwide, including Top 20 at his position.


He could play with Talor when Talor is a senior. This is a huge get for PSU basketball.

He picked PSU over Syracuse, Maryland, Ga Tech, and Notre Dame. He's a four star recruit on Scout.

Very interesting. Rumors were rampant in the Lions Den that Michael Jordan's son had reportedly commited to PSU and was taking the last remaining scholarship.

Lets's hope Calipari doesn't lure Sasa away from the Nits.

[The Ancient Enemy]

I dunno, I'm pretty excited about this recruiting class. Buie looks pretty dang good from where I am sitting.

[El-Moldo]

BUT BUIE IS A JUNIOR RIGHT NOW IN HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!! Not available until 2010-2011. Now how does that class look?

[El-Moldo]

By the way, did anyone see where high school QB Paul Jones of Sto-Rox, who committed to the Nits in January, has de-committed and re-opened his recruitment.

Wishful thinking if you think Jones ends up at Pitt. It's quite common for these kids to take all of their trips and make visits after the fact.

[The Ancient Enemy]

That's funny that you have PSU news that the rest of us haven't seen. I saw where he is taking his visits WHICH THE PSU STAFF HAS ENCOURAGED EVERY KID THEY EVER RECEIVED TO DO BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION.

He did not decommit, as Spinmaster Flash is trying to convince you.

Besides, the kid has the right to go where he wants, and I hope he does. Sooner or later this staff will realize they need to stop putting all the eggs in one basket, esp. when these kids are 17 yrs old and dont know anything at all about life and are getting tons of pressure and attention from every direction possible.
