Penn State hit the transfer portal hard over the offseason, particularly to add depth to its front court.
The Nittany Lions struggled to compete in the paint against some of the best forwards in the nation within the Big Ten conference last season.
That script began to flip at the start of the 2021-22 season, though, thanks to roster acquisitions made via the transfer portal.
By bringing back fifth-year senior John Harrar and adding three experienced reserves from the portal, the blue and white’s paint presence improved in coach Micah Shrewsberry’s first year at the helm of the program.
