UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. ââ'¬" The Nittany Lion basketball team will open its 2015-16 with a great deal of momentum following a tremendous week for the future of the program.
After tireless efforts, head coach Patrick Chambers and the Nittany Lion staff inked the program's best recruiting class in its history on Wednesday with the announced signings of Nazeer Bostick, Tony Carr, Joe Hampton and Lamar Stevens. The 2015 signing class caps back-to-back recruiting classes that rank as the best two groups of incoming players in program history.
Enough cannot be said about the work Chambers and his staff put in to reach this point. The group has done a superb job laying the foundation of his vision for the program's future on and off the floor. Simply put, Chambers expects the Nittany Lions to play an entertaining brand of basketball with great effort and a positive attitude. And his vision is coming into focus as the Lions continue to build towards bright days ahead.
With a signing class that includes three of the top six players in Pennsylvania and ranked as high as No. 8 in the nation by major recruiting outlets, the Nittany Lions are assembling the pieces to supplement the foundation already in place for consistent success well into the future.
"It's a historical day for us," Chambers said. "We worked extremely hard to get to this point. It's been a long process, but we committed to the process. I'm so proud of our staff and how they stayed committed."
