Penn State extend offers to 2027 guards

Even with the nature of their largely international new look cast, the Nittany Lions still believe they can find depth through recruits as well. That is why it may come as no surprise that they have extended offers to 2027 guards that they believe can be game changers for their squad. Christian Cast, a four star, and Shawn Foster, a three star, are two players that the Nittany Lions could turn to even with Filipino guard Andy Gemao on board.

>Still, the Nittany Lions may want to save face after the whole Dylan Mingo saga. After committing to North Carolina over the Blue and White, Mingo ended up following his brother Kayden, a former Penn State Nittany Lion, to Baylor. To make matters worse, Gemao's status as a Penn State player could be up in the air as NCAA strictures could hinder the deal entirely. Therefore, both Cast and Foster could represent the perfect contingency plans.

>Cast is the No. 1 player in the state of Michigan, proving to be someone that could be pivotal in Penn State's broader recruiting circles. Penn State may need a better finisher at the rim at the point guard position. Cast is also a calming presence who can operate an offense at a high level. When considering the structure of Penn State's offense, Cast could be just what they need to piece together their new look roster.

>Foster on the other hand, could be seen as a much more developmental prospect in the long run. However, he is also in a battleground state for the Nittany Lions, as the No. 8 prospect in the state of Ohio, and has a similar profile to Cast. Should head coach Mike Rhoades wish to develop similar players, he could look no further than these two 2027 guards.
