Abdou Tsimbila announced he was transferring from Penn State two months after Micah Shrewsberry was hired as Penn State Basketball’s new head coach.
Welp, stop me if you’ve heard this before.
Tsimbila is now joining Brockington as a VERY late transfer out of the program. These are different transfers than Jamari Wheeler and Myreon Jones transfers, that happened just days after the Shrewsberry hire was announced.
