The Lions' Pride

I know it's only one win, but Partick Chambers is impressive in motivating these guys. His is passing the recruiting test. We have a great bunch coming in by our standards. We finally seem to have bright future in b-ball.

the future is bright for PSU basketball, coach chambers is 100% the right man for the job i think in the next couple years PSU will be on top of the big ten

Plus bringing in Geno Thorpe!!

i'm excited to see what Pitt transfer John Johnson brings to the table once the first semester ends and he can join the team in January. We should have plenty of scoring options next year since Marshall and Newbill learned how to do it on their own this year without Tim. I'm hoping Johnson can be a fourth scoring threat or come off the bench and give us some much needed bench scoring and depth. Johnson plus some of the recruits and we could have a good set of scorers for next year. Really hope Moore can be ready to go right away to give us another post presence and defender. Surprisingly, Ross Travis has stepped up nicely with rebounding and defending.

And 12 did it! I always forget about Johnson, too. He's a wild card in all of this.

I see the impact/playing time of the incoming guys as follows.....
1. Johnson - he can practice with the team all year, can't play until the second semester starts though. Already has Big East experience and lots of playing time with Pitt.
2. Woodward - small guard but has the quicks and a good handle. IMO becomes the instant back-up to Frazier because Newbill simply isn't/shouldn't be a primary ball handler
3. Banks - Athletic swing man that can spell Marshall, Travis, or Taylor
4. Thorpe - Would love to be wrong and hope he becomes a big time scorer, but we've got alot of guys at his spot....Newbill, Johnson, Marshall, etc.
5. Moore- I simply think he needs some time to bulk up and get his body ready for B1G basketball.
