How Penn State Basketball additions impact the backcourt
Assuming no more players enter the transfer portal, Penn State Basketball is maxed out for scholarships for the 2022-2023 season.
Considering this is still a HUGE hole in our roster (see below), it’s likely one or two more scholarship players will join Sessoms in the transfer portal (looking at you Caleb Dorsey and Jevonnie Scott).
But let’s start with the backcourt roster: Jameel Brown, Andy Christos, Kanye Clary, Dan Conlan, Andrew Funk, Ishaan Jagaisi, Dallion Johnson, Jalen Pickett, Irekefe Oweh, Camren Wynter
This will be the deepest backcourt Penn State Basketball will have in while, potentially.
Incoming freshmen Jameel Brown and Kanye Clary are expected to make a difference right away. With the addition of Wynter and Funk, Shrewsberry has now added some experience alongside both of these prized incoming recruits.
However, all four are likely backing up both Pickett (PG) and Johnson (SG) if the roster holds it’s shape.
Pickett led the B1G in minutes played so hopefully having four guards that should be able to hang on the court can take some of his usage metrics down a peg or two. None of these guards should need to play more than 30 minutes a game and with the addition of Wynter and Funk, hopefully Brown and Clary can be eased into collegiate play.
