2010-11 Outlook:
A year after being one of the sleeper teams in the Big Ten and winning the NIT, Penn State came back to reality last season and proved why they are indeed a football school.
The Talor Battles… er, I mean Nittany Lions were a one-man machine. Point guard Talor Battle was the heart and soul of the team as he led Penn State in points, rebounds, assists and steals. He had very little help last season and more of the same can be expected this year even though Ed DeChellis returns four of his five starters. The problem is those three other starters coming back are just out-matched by their conference opponents.
Redshirt freshmen Jermaine Marshall and Billy Oliver will try to help Battle out this season as will Talor’s half-brother, freshman point guard Taran Buie. But with the Big Ten incredibly top-heavy this season, Penn State figures to battle with Iowa, Michigan and Indiana in avoiding the last place spot.
Player to Watch: Talor Battle, PG
Yes, it is the obvious choice, but who else does Penn State have? There is a reason they are referred to as the “Talor Battles” by my colleagues and me. DeChellis should just be dropping to knees and praying to the heavens that Battle decided to pull his name out of the NBA Draft this summer and return to school. Penn State would have been AWFUL if he stayed in the 2010 NBA Draft.
