Penn State signee Logan Imes requests release from NLI
As if Penn State’s roster situation wasn’t already a major concern as the search for a new head coach continues, another player has backed off his commitment to the program.
Logan Imes, a three-star recruit in Penn State’s class of 2023, has asked for a release from his national letter of intent, according to Kyle Neddenriep of the Indianapolis Star, via Twitter. Imes has not ruled out sticking with Penn State as his college choice but, according to this report, he does want to see what Penn State does in its attempt to replace Micah Shrewsberry.
And Shrewsberry’s new school, Notre Dame, is suddenly a potential option for Imes. This would make sense with the Fighting Irish being closer to home and Shrewsberry already having an established relationship on the recruiting trail with Imes.
Zionsville guard Logan Imes has requested release from NLI at Penn State to see what other options available. Still open to Penn State once new staff in place if there is interest. Also has great relationship with Micah Shrewsberry so Notre Dame is among options.

Imes originally committed to Penn State over offers from Creighton, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest. Imes committed to Penn State in March 2022 and he signed his letter of intent in November 2022.
Penn State currently has five players on scholarship for next season with Imes being released from his letter of intent, at least for the moment. And odds are probably pretty good there could be more changes to the roster before the dust settles on this offseason.
To put things simply, Penn State needs to find its next coach as soon as possible to allow the new coach time to organize a roster for next season. There is a bunch of work to do for Penn State moving forward.
