No Blue/White Weekend for Pringle

While fans and alumni will flock to Happy Valley for Blue/White Weekend in two weeks, one Penn Stater will be missing out on all the fun.

Then again, he'll be in Vegas, so it's tough to say who's the loser here.

Whatever the case, Nits off-guard Stanley Pringle will be participating in a training camp for the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, a Filipino-foreign camp in Las Vegas from April 24-26.

***
Iowa had four players leave at the end of its season. Now, Minnesota has two of its own players departing.

Guards Travis Busch and Kevin Payton won't be returning, Gophers coach Tubby Smith said in a press release.

Both would have been eligible for their senior seasons. The Minnesota Pioneer Press, however, reports that Busch would not have been offered a scholarship for his senior season because of the Gophers' incoming class of 2009.

Busch was named Minnesota's Mr. Basketball in 2005.

Nit fans can't exactly breathe easy though. He averaged just two points per game against PSU this season, while Payton didn't score in his only game against the Lions.

The Roster

Mug

AJ Cassavell is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's volleyball, softball, Lady Lions, men's soccer and men's gymnastics reporter. A 5-foot-7 center in Middle School, AJ at one point said he wished he was shorter so he could play guard. The gods blessed him, and by the time he reached his senior year of High School he had grown half an inch, making him just tall enough to see the floor for about ten minutes all season - as a point guard.


Mug

Stephen Hennessey is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's soccer, men's lacrosse, wrestling, field hockey and women's tennis writer. Steve used to idolize former Utah Utes and New Jersey Nets forward Keith Van Horn — he even wore high, white socks to his CYO basketball games and always demanded the number 44 for his jersey. He even scored a Van Horn autograph on the back of a Toys 'R Us catalog. No joke.


Mug

Andrew Robinson is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former women's soccer, women's rugby and men's swimming writer. A loyal supporter of Dwyane Wade, A-Rob can often be spotted wearing his red, white or black number 3 Heat jersey with basketball shorts, even in the dead of winter. He will, however, respect press etiquette and wear khakis and dress shirts to Nittany Lion games.
