Penn State returns five major contributors from Rhoades’ debut season with the program. Described as the head of the snake, Ace Baldwin returns for a fifth year of college ball at point guard, having forgone moving into the professional ranks this past offseason. Alongside him, the Nittany Lions will feature returning players with starting experience including Puff Johnson, Nick Kern, and Zach Hicks, plus D’Marco Dunn.
They’ll be surrounded by eight newcomers. Welcoming four transfers – Kachi Nzeh, Yanic Konan Niederhauser, Eli Rice, and Freddie Dilione – as well as a four-man Class of 2024 that includes Jahvin Carter, Dominick Stewart, Miles Goodman, and Hudson Ward, the Nittany Lions are buzzing over what the additions have meant to their potential.

Specifically highlighting a handful of the transfers on the BTN during Big Ten media days last week, Rhoades indicated that their combined impact has been notable.
“Yanic Niederhauser is our big guy that, we’re really excited about him. He’s going to impact us. Eli Rice, the transfer from Nebraska, he’s going to impact our program. Freddie Dilione from Tennessee, a guy I recruited really hard in the past,” said Rhoades. “We’re bigger, we’re faster, we got more shooting. So we could play our style that we want longer because we’re going to be deeper.”
