Despite program’s uncertainty, Penn State is trending for top-100 recruit

STATE COLLEGE, PA — Within the next 24 hours or so, Penn State head coach Micah Shrewsberry will make a major career decision. There are two schools in the running for Shrewsberry right now: Penn State basketball and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — both are in a position to land him and have solid offers on the table, according to reports. Despite all of this uncertainty, the Nittany Lions are still the favorites to land a top-100 recruit in the 2024 cycle.

As of today, in no particular order… My Top 6 schools are Virginia Tech, Stanford, Penn State, Marquette, Villanova and Oklahoma. @CoachJonesMPB @Sim_Frazier @TeamCurry @MyersPark_Hoops pic.twitter.com/eG6TrPhsaU

Will Mohammed go Blue and White?

“The relationship made with the Coach (Micah) Shrewsberry and Coach Aki (Collins) and the rest of the staff has been amazing and both my unofficial and official visit were great,” Mohammed told BWI.

No is is sure what will happen with Micah Shrewsberry and Penn State basketball; however, for the time being, the Nittany Lions are headed in the right direction with an elite top-100 recruit in the 2024 cycle.
