I just hope Chambers passion for his job and this program shows on the court. It might take a little while, but I think he was a very good hire for PSU. We could use Akosa as a 3 point shooter.

That's awesome. He loves his job and I love the energy he is bringing already. You can tell he's trying to get the word out to the students about the basketball program and I think he's doing a good job of it so far, promoting his program.

In his defense, September is usually occupied by the promotion of another team.

One of them had better not be my daughter!!!!!

On campus for less than a week and buying hoops tickets?

The team will be unspeakably horrible this year. That is my expectation. Anything better than that and its a success.

What is the cost of student season tickets? They should be near free just to get butts in the seats.

That is FREAKING AWESOME.

I just hope whatever excitement/energy he generates can survive though this next bball season.... It wil be kinda like watching "the wave" try to make it through the visitor's section.

Can't complain one iota over this. Guy is fired up, trying to recruit, trying to build the fan base. Good for him, he deserves nothing but success and happiness in his career.

Now let's see if this team starts running real offensive sets, I have a feeling they will.

Sasa Borovnjak. Yeah, he would have figured to get some decent minutes last season coming off the bench, especially with the lack of depth they had. He is supposed to have some range and at 6-foot-9, can go down low a bit too. IMO, Sasa and Jon Graham - who was redshirted all last season - are both going to have nice breakout years. We will know more as these summer workouts get underway.

I'd have to say 'bearable' is a relative term, depending on what your outlook and expectations of the team are, and it is also tough to say how much more/less Chambers will be able to get out of the players. Someone unexpected might respond better to his techniques and breakout, and vice versa.

In the end, I'd have to say the team is going to have its fair share of losses, especially in Big Ten play, but I do think that they will be fighting until the end of each game and also sneak an upset or two on a hot shooting night. (I'll throw in a disclaimer saying that my opinion of the teams I follow is usually cautiously optimistic.) Again, I'll know more once the guys start workouts, I'm interested to see how these freshman will feature in the mix.
