Penn State Men’s Basketball Roster Complete with Addition of North Carolina Guard

Penn State men’s basketball finally rounded out its first roster under new head coach Mike Rhoades on Thursday with the commitment of 6-foot-5 shooting guard D’Marco Dunn from North Carolina out of the transfer portal. Dunn is a product of Westover High School in North Carolina but originally hails from Tucson, Arizona.

Dunn is the second player to join Penn State from UNC, heading to State College alongside former and now current teammate Puff Johnson who also committed to Rhoades out of the portal earlier this summer. The 247 Network listed Dunn as four-star prospect and the No. 90 recruit in the nation as a member of the 2021 recruiting cycle.

While at UNC, Dunn averaged just 2.7 points per game but saw just 10.3 minutes of action per game on average. Dunn topped out at 14 points in a win over Louisville on the road for the Tar Heels during a January victory. He would later score eight points in an ACC Tournament win over Boston College.

Penn State’s roster is now complete featuring nine players out of the transfer portal following the departure of former head coach Micah Shrewsberry to Notre Dame. It has been just 72 days since Rhoades was hired in a process that took just a week following Shrewsberry leaving the program for South Bend.
