Shrewsberry lands 3 recruits for 2023
UNIVERSITY PARK -- Penn State men's basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry has signed his second-straight top-30 recruiting class, as three highly-touted signees inked their National Letters of Intent on National Signing Day Wednesday.
Penn State's three-member class currently ranks 24th in the nation according to 247 Sports and 27th according to ESPN. It marks the first time in program history that the Nittany Lions have signed back-to-back top-30 recruiting classes, both of which have come under Shrewsberry.
The three-member class is comprised of Carey Booth (Englewood, Colo.), Logan Imes (Zionsville, Ind.) and Braeden Shrewsberry (State College). Booth is the son of former Nittany Lion Calvin Booth, who is now the general manager of the Denver Nuggets. Braedon Shrewsberry is the son of coach Shrewsberry.
Carey Booth is a 6-foot-10 forward who is ranked No. 75 in the ESPN Top 100 recruiting list for 2023.
Imes is a 6-foot-4 guard, a four-star prospect ranked as the No. 24 combo guard by ESPN and the No. 6-ranked player in the state of Indiana.
Braeden Shrewsberry, a 6-foot-3 guard, is an ESPN four-star prospect ranked as the No. 33 shooting guard in the 2023 class and No. 4 player in the state of Pennsylvania per 247 Sports.
