Maybe Shrew was even...Funk, Pickett and Lundy all gone. Shrew was smart — that roster needs work
never should have been firedPat Chambers.
Rutgers was a powerhouse in the late 70's and early 80's but made a fatal mistake by not joining the initial Big East. Rutgers is returning to that basketball tradition.What does one have to do with the other? I agree that RU isn’t a bball destination either but a lot has changed in the last 4-5 years. It’s getting very close to being one … a lot closer than PSU.
I would be surprised if Penn State did not offer Shrewsbury a lucrative contract to stay at Penn State.Alabama, and Texas before them, proved what a football-centric school can do if they direct their resources towards basketball. If a coach came to Happy Valley and woke up the fan base, they could will/spend their way to long-term success. They have financial resources that many schools don’t, even many P5 schools.
I believe Shrewsberry would’ve gotten them there in another 3-5 years. He’d have to essentially start over next year given the returning roster, but it would be from a much better place than when Pike arrived in NJ in 2016.
I’m open to being wrong about this, but given the examples already set, it seems like hoops success is there for the taking for them.
“Despite tons of advantages” to “Penn state basketball has no advantages”
Out of sight, out of mind.Surprised that Chris Mack's name never gets floated about .
Is that the guy from Subway commercials?Jared Fogle
That's a bit of an odd way of looking at it.Alabama, and Texas before them, proved what a football-centric school can do if they direct their resources towards basketball. ...
Good. B1G schedule is so brutal you need to have a couple you can count on as basement dwellers but just need to not let them be landmines.Whoever it is better kill it in the portal.
Otherwise PSU joins Minnesota as early favorites for first team to enter the B1G morgue next season

His new team lost 4 seniors and three xfers. And might return one guy with any significant PTFunk, Pickett and Lundy all gone. Shrew was smart — that roster needs work
B1G bottom dwellers will always be dangerous landmines. Minnesota this year is par for the course. Then there’s also teams that look like utter crap early and then come to life later in the season, like Nebraska each of the last two years (especially this year). Outside of one Eddie Jordan season, that’s been the case for years. No sure things in the B1G.Good.

I'd be willing to bet if you polled Rutgers students on people they know from high school that went to Penn State more than 75% would say, "Yeah, that kid was one of the biggest douche nozzles in my class".

Seems like Mike Rhoades has emerged as the leading candidate.
Would hate to see Fordham lose Urgo. They've been through as many bad hires as RU, then as soon as they get a decent guy somebody might scoop him away. He is definitely putting in the work in the Bronx. I think he is more suited for a small Catholic urban school without too much by the way of expectations.What does one have to do with the other?
