The Penn State Basketball program is expected to sign everyone in their class today and TKR has everything you need to know about them from the day they committed to film breakdown and much more.

“The 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior is one of the most relentless defenders in the country, with certifiable on-ball peskiness and a knack for neutralizing high scoring guards. Mingo is known for his positional versatility, as he’s become a reliable presence on the offensive and defensive glass.

He’s akin to a high school version of the New York Knicks’ Josh Hart with his legitimate ball-tracking skills. Mingo averaged 7.5 boards per game while playing for the PSA Cardinals during his sophomore summer, discovering his identity as high level rebounder.

A refined three-level scorer, Mingo’s flair for the end game is one of his bedrock assets.” — Happy Valley Insider Hoops Analyst Zach Smart

“Blackwood is all of 6-foot-7 and currently better suited to play the three than the two. That said, he has some impressive perimeter skills to go along with consistent production on the glass. He’s an above average athlete with a solid handle, good motor and the ability to finish through traffic at the rack. Blackwood hasn’t always posted gaudy scoring numbers during his career, but he’s shown flashes of becoming a reliable long-range shooter in a small sample size. Blackwood has the kind of physical tools and versatility that could translate to rapid improvement from a production down the road. He could become an important piece as a defender, as his long frame and plus athleticism could lend itself to tremendous defensive versatility on the college level.” — Rivals National Hoops Analyst Rob Cassidy

“A throwback style big, Houser is similar to a 1990s forward/center who plays with his back to the basket and bulldozes defenders into the post. This worked in his favor as he developed his game as a viable around the rim threat, developing an innate ability to catch and bring a rim protector to the mid post and hit difficult shots from 4-5 feet from the rim. At the same time, he has a delicate outside touch which could translate into offensive uniqueness at the ensuing level.

Houser gives Penn State a commanding interior presence. Given the development and day to day evolution of his game this past season, his best days could still be in front of him. At the high school level and at the prep level, bigs tend to develop later. They often struggle with the intricacies of scoring between a defender and the rim. Houser has a rare traditional post game which includes scoring in pick and roll situations and scoring with his off hand.” — Happy Valley Insider Hoops Analyst Zach Smart
