The college basketball season isn’t yet over — we still have Sweet Sixteen action tonight — but for Penn State, it is firmly #PortalSZN. Mike Rhoades’ first season in Happy Valley was largely viewed as a good one, going 16-17 overall and 9-11 in the Big Ten. But now, it’s about building on that. We’ll see what transpires over the next few days and weeks, but the expected attrition has seemed to have happened. Out are Qudus Wahab (eligibility), Leo O’Boyle (eligibility), RayQuawndis Mitchell (eligibility), Jameel Brown (transfer), Demetrius Lilley (transfer), Fauvor Aire (transfer), and Bragi Gudmundsson (transfer), which leaves Penn State with:
Guards: Ace Baldwin (SR), D’Marco Dunn (SR), Jahvin Carter (FR), Dominick Stewart (FR)
Wings/Forwards: Nick Kern (SR), Zach Hicks (SR), Puff Johnson (SR), Hudson Ward (FR)
Bigs: Miles Goodman (FR)
That’s nine scholarship players so the Nittany Lions will have four scholarships to work with in the portal.
