Penn State men’s basketball head coach Micah Shrewsberry is putting in the work to keep some of last year’s squad intact. Forward Seth Lundy has reportedly exited the transfer portal and will return to Penn State. Lions 247 was one of the first to report the update on Lundy’s decision.
Lundy, who will retain his sophomore eligibility next season, will join Izaiah Brockington as the two Penn State players, so far, to return to the University under Shrewsberry. Jamari Wheeler (Ohio State), Myreon Jones (Florida), forward Trent Buttrick (UMass) and Patrick Kelly (Fordham) are four former Nittany Lions that entered the portal and will finish their college careers at different schools.

John Marrar is another name that entered the transfer pool, but he has not decided where he will play next season.
Averaging 10.1 points per game last season, Lundy provided much needed offense at times when Penn State would go cold. On the flip side, there were moments when his offensive game would struggle.
Shrewsberry has had success developing young wing shooters and making them a threat on the offensive of the ball. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Lundy took notice to Shrewsberry’s track record and wanted to learn under the veteran coach.
Lundy finished the 2020-21 season shooting 38.5 percent from the field and 32.0 percent from beyond the arc. Inconsistency got Lundy knocked out of the starting lineup during conference play at one point in the season, but it’s clear he has the potential that Shrewsberry hopes to unlock.
