It was a few nervous days for the Penn State Women's Basketball program. Everyone can now exhale. After receiving permission from acting athletic director David Joyner to interview for the Michigan job last week, head coach Coquese Washington made it official at a 3 p.m. press conference that she will remain with the Lady Lion program.
The past year has seen coaching changes within the Penn State athletic department with the hires of Pat Chambers and Bill O'Brien. The next month will allow Penn State fans who live outside of State College to meet O'Brien and other coaches as a Penn State Coaches Caravan hosted by the Penn State Alumni Association and the Nittany Lion Club will make eighteen breakfast, lunch, or dinner stops up and down the east coast.
After a quiet week that saw a few targeted recruits opt for other schools, Bill O'Brien has recovered in the form of Greg Webb, a four star defensive tackle out of New Jersey.
While THON was busy last week announcing the 2013 Overall Committee that would team with 2013 Overall Will Martin, a Pennsylvania senator also took the time to acknowledge the philanthropic event before Congress in Washington D.C.
It was about as eventful of a day as it can get in late March when it comes to college football. It began with a Bill O'Brien press conference and concluded with another Class of 2013 recruit giving Penn State a verbal commit. In between, the first of fifteen spring practice took place and a typical blue Penn State jacket became the story of the day.
Spring football practice for Penn State will begin today as the Nittany Lions will practice fifteen times under Bill O'Brien's watch before playing the annual Blue-White game on April 21st. Between now and then, there are some questions that will hopefully be made a little clearer.
