Good for Pemsl, he was one of my favorite Hawks.I was impressed with Penn State going into Blacksburg and whipping #15 Va. Tech be twenty.
Our old buddy Cordell Pemsl had two points and five boards in 21 minutes off the bench for the Hokies.

I imagine his playing time was not going to increase. He had some hard luck at Iowa, some of which was his own doing. Any other year I suspect he would have seen an increase in PT in his senior year. I would have liked to see him finish his career here though.Why did Pemsl leave?
I know he was for many Hawk fans but he just wasn't for me. I'm not saying this to be a dick or a contrairian but he just rubbed me wrong. I thought he was dead weight and he coulda been easily replaced. He just didn't develop into what he shoulda. Maybe injuries had a ton to do with that I'm sure and that's legit. Doesn't change how he was though.Good for Pemsl, he was one of my favorite Hawks.
I always liked him, but he definitely regressed after his freshman year. We lost him last year and it looks like Keegan picked up his minutes - it's hard to say that Keegan Murray isn't a huge improvement from Pemsl.I know he was for many Hawk fans but he just wasn't for me.

Omg Murray is a more athletic higher ceiling version of what Baer brought to the table. Better shooter, everything. He's not a finished product obviously but for this to be his starting point is amazing.I always liked him, but he definitely regressed after his freshman year.
