 The Daily Pennsylvanian: Since taking over as head basketball coach, Jerome Allen has been hot on the recruiting trail. But even after reeling in seven intriguing prospects, the glaring need for a legitimate big man remained.
That changed Thursday.
Penn received a commitment from 6-foot-10, 265-pound center Darien Nelson-Henry to add a third member to its Class of 2012.
Twelve days after his Sept. 17 visit, the Kirkland, Wash. product chose the Quakers over Columbia, Washington State, Boise State and Gonzaga.
“I just knew right after the visit that Penn was the right place,” Nelson-Henry said. “They have a great basketball history, and the Palestra is awesome. And the education is unbeatable.”
