STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State has signed touted high school guard Taran Buie to a letter of intent.

The 6-foot-2 Buie is very familiar with Happy Valley — his half-brother is Penn State junior and point guard Talor Battle.

The Nittany Lions say they landed one of the most highly sought-after recruits in the basketball program’s history.

Buie led his high school team in Albany, N.Y., to a state title and two straight undefeated regular seasons. He and his family moved over the summer to State College, where he will play his high school senior year.

Does he know that Paterno will have him warming the bench for the next two years? Paterno wouldn't start a freshman if his life depended on it. Looks like inexperienced Quarterbacks again next year as they got no playing time this year.
