Really interesting read on the Shrewsberry situation at Penn St.

Seems reasonable. I didn’t realize Illinois was the best in the B1G at NIL. Is that true?

We’ll see how Shrewsberry fares at ND. I’ve mentioned in this thread that the ND administration is openly hostile to NIL. Today their president and AD have a letter in the NYT basically saying as much. I could easily see ND basketball being behind Purdue when it comes to NIL.   
 

In any event, there’s a very real chance Shrewsberry will be ready to move on in a few years if he can generate any success there at all. That ND job is simply shaping up to be a bad one. 

Plus, ND basketball facilities are among the worst in the country. Brey was a strong advocate for improving such facilities but was never successful. 

ND is not for everyone. The people making decisions there essentially have a $0/year income, no living expenses, and basically no material possessions.

Seeing that Mike Rhoades from VCU to Penn State is pretty much a done deal. 

Also seeing Utah State's Ryan Odom (orchestrated UMBC's 16 vs. 1 upset of UVA a few years back) is headed back east to fill Rhoades' seat at VCU. His dad, Dave, is a former UVA assistant and former head coach at Wake Forest and South Carolina.

Seems like good moves all the way around.

Less relevant, but still a cool to see move - Kevin Kuwik current assistant at Butler has accepted the head coaching gig at Army.  Kevin served 10 years in the Army with tours overseas in support of OIF.

Honestly not sure if this is much of an upgrade outside of conference affiliation.

Rhodes isn't inheriting much at PSU.  As of now, Penn St has three scholarship players for next year...

Genuinely sorry to see it. Always looking for the next McKillop or Becker who’ll just stay somewhere like that and become a legend. Thought Abdur-Rahim might be one of those guys.

Yeah, the Temple situation sounds like one that any guy with prospects isn’t gonna touch just now.

I don't know this situation well enough. Why did the temple president resign?

There have been some on campus violence issues and there were some protests involving the teaching staff, Don’t know the details, but the President seemed to be pretty universally loathed.

John Chaney still hangin' around?

Sadly, no.

The first line of his Wikipedia starts with the dreaded "John Chaney was..."

I am willing to bet that the new coach will see a couple of his  VCU players come with him....but the best ones will probably seek NIL deals at schools that will pay more than Penn State.

Maryland’s Tony Skinn takes the HC gig at George Mason. I believe he was the lead recruiter on Derik Queen.

Gotta think Maryland will have a lot less Skinn in the game for that recruitment.
