Emmanuel Dowuona, Purdue Boilermaker Center, announced he is entering the tranfer portal, and could be a target for Penn State Basketball.

The Purdue big man struggled to see the floor this year, appearing in just nine games. Dowuona averaged 1.3 points per game, .9 rebounds per game, .3 blocks per game and .2 steals per game, while shooting 46.2% from the floor.

So, why should Penn State Basketball be excited about Dowuona entering the portal?

New Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry mentioned hitting the transfer portal hard to fill out the roster.
