There's rampant internet speculation that Penn State hoop recruits could re-open their recruiting after Ed DeChellis' departure to Navy.

It's worth noting UMass recruited Pat Ackerman, a 6-foot-11 Rutland native, who went to Worcester Academy.

UMass has one scholarship, and is looking at former Arizona State guard Corey Hawkins, but size is much harder to find. I'm guessing if he gets set free, the Minutemen will be interested.
