It was a bumpy start to the offseason for Penn State basketball following freshman guard Rasir Bolton’s transfer to Iowa St., as well as the decommitments of two recruits, Justin McKoy and Mikeal Brown-Jones. However, they’ve recovered nicely over the last two weeks. First came junior forward Lamar Stevens’ withdrawal from the NBA Draft in order to return to school. Then on Tuesday, the Nittany Lions landed Oklahoma State grad transfer guard Curtis Jones.
Jones, a 6’4″ combo-guard, averaged 8.1 points-per-game in 21.9 minutes-per-game during his one season for Oklahoma State. Spending his first two college basketball seasons at Indiana, Curtis Jones is familiar with Big Ten basketball.
