Penn State guard Bragi Gudmundsson enters NCAA transfer portal

Penn State will have another spot to fill on the roster as Bragi Gudmundsson enters the transfer portal.

Monday was a bit of a busy day for Penn State basketball and the transfer portal. In addition to guard Kanye Clary and forward Favour Aire officially entering the portal, Penn State saw guard [autotag]Bragi Gudmundsson[/autotag] enter his name into the NCAA transfer portal as well.

Gudmundsson made appearances in just 7 games for Penn State during the 2023-24 season, for a total of just 12 minutes on the court as a freshman. The former professional basketball player from Iceland was a late addition to the Penn State roster and figured to be more of a short-term fix for the program amid significant roster turnover under new head coach Mike Rhoades.

The pending departure of Gudmundssondoes takes another hit to the Penn State roster scholarship depth heading into the 2024-25 season as Rhoades will once again have to spend this offseason building a stable roster with help out of the transfer portal.

Penn State men’s basketball 2023-24 roster

Here is a look at every player on Penn State men’s basketball roster for the first season under head coach Mike Rhoades.

Penn State will have a new look on the roster for the 2023-24 season. A new head coach and significant roster turnover, including losing two players to the NBA, have led to a roster with a number of transfer players plugging roster holes for the 2023-24 season.

Penn State’s roster includes a total of 10 players who have come from the transfer portal, with a number being added to the roster since the end of last season. That includes star guard Ace Baldwin Jr., one of the top players Rhoades had on his roster at VCU before moving to Penn State. Penn State also added transfers from North Carolina, Lafayette, Miami, and Temple this offseason.

Penn State basketball goes international with newest roster addition

Penn State basketball nearing full roster for 2023 after commitment from international recruit.

Penn State men’s basketball coach Mike Rhoades continues to be hard at work establishing a roster for his first season in Happy Valley. On Wednesday, Rhoades and the Nittany Lions picked up a new commitment to the program from outside of the United States.

Penn State received a commitment from Bragi Gudmundsson, who announced his commitment to the program with a post on his Instagram account. The point guard is from Iceland and will be a 20-year-old freshman when he joins the program as a member of the Class of 2023. His arrival in State College will be delayed as he is playing for Iceland’s national team this summer. Gudmundsson, who measures 6′-5″, is coming off a season averaging 10.0 points per game in the Iceland-Subway League.

Gudmundsson is the first addition for Penn State’s Class of 2023 on the basketball court since the hiring of Rhoades. Penn State is now up to 11 scholarship players for the upcoming college basketball season, leaving two scholarship spots still vacant.
