With Jalen Pickett announcing last week that he would be returning to Penn State for his final year of eligibility, all eyes turned to Myles Dread and Sam Sessoms, the two other Nittany Lions who each have one more year, thanks to COVID. Earlier today, the PSU hoops faithful got an answer regarding Sessoms, who has reportedly entered the transfer portal.
Sessoms averaged 11.6 points per game, shooting a solid 43 percent from the floor, due in part to his impressive ability to garner layups against guys who were several inches taller than him. While he did have turnover issues that were frustrating at times, he did provide a source of instant offense off the bench, which will now have to be replaced either via incoming freshman guards Jameel Brown and Kanye Clary, or through Micah Shrewsberry and staff grabbing someone else from the portal.
