When Geno Thorpe verbally committed to Penn State in the Fall of 2011, it represented a major scalp for then brand-spankin' new head coach Pat Chambers, to land the high 3-star guard out of Pittsburgh who had offers from the likes of Pitt and Wisconsin. Thorpe, along with then-commit Brandon Austin, were representative of the future of PSU's backcourt. Of course, we all know what happened with Austin and feel no need to get into details, because that's what Google's for.
Aside from bringing an athleticism and defensive presence to PSU's backcourt, Geno has also provided the Internet with a killer, meme-worthy, smile.
