“I think coach Mike (Rhoades) and his whole staff made it feel like family,” he said. “I think it’s a place where I can grow as a basketball player and as a man. I think it was a great fit for me.”
Stewart is on his official visit to Penn State this weekend, which coincides with the football team’s White Out Game Saturday against Iowa. On the visit, Stewart told 247 that he noticed the bonds Rhoades has with his players and staff.
“Just how close they are with them and their families,” he said. “He’s a player coach and he connects with his players on another level.”
Rhoades’ first regular-season game at Penn State is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 6 against Delaware State at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Big Ten opener’s scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 6 at Maryland, with the conference home opener scheduled against Ohio State three days later.
