Trent Buttrick

Trent Buttrick hasn’t ruled out coming back to the Nittany Lions but initially heard from schools like Towson, Robert Morris, Chattanooga among others.

There hasn’t been much new news since his entrance to the portal. I know most PSU fans would say good riddance but remember, we currently have one true frontcourt player on our 2021-2022 roster (Abdou Tsimbila). Buttrick would have a real role on this team, like it or not.

VBR Crystal Ball: St. Francis, PA (25%)

There haven’t been any rumors linking St. Francis to Buttrick yet but he’d have a starting role with them from day one and less than three hours from his hometown of Bloomsburg, PA.
