Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

Is his new and exciting challenge related to the Big Ten?

I believe so, yes.

U think like the Big Ten Network?

Guessing btn or he’s going a b1g staff as a director of player personnel(likely osu or Purdue). I will say this the basketball recruiting coverage side has lost A LOT in the last year or so between evans, snow and Daniels.

No – not BTN. @goblue8 is on the better track, just a different school.

Yep guessing he’s joining a staff. Vandy football hired Barton Simmons(247s director of football scouting) in a director of player personnel role in the past year and I bet snow is taking a similar role. Personally I think its very smart and think more colleges and nba and nfl franchises should be hiring these type of guys. They are incredibly well connected.

Also, I imagine the independent scouting services a lot of these guys run didn’t have a great year in 2020 with budget shutdowns (and no live events).

Could be psu too, snow is very in with brad stevens and Purdue. Shrewsberry has heavy ties to both.

Now you are getting warmer :wink:

I guess I don’t see as much value in a player personnel guy in CBB as I do in CFB. Rosters are just so much smaller and recruiting is ā€œeasierā€ due to stuff like the shoe circuits. Could he be getting an assistant coaching role?

Idk in today’s transfer world, especially at a place like psu, I think there’s immense value in having a guy like snow working the back channels(a guy like snow knows those channels better than just about anyone) and seeing whose going come available and start the recruiting process.

Maybe. I’m not an expert on the workings of a HM college program. But transfers you literally are not allowed to recruit them until they enter the portal from what I understand. Would be naive to think it doesn’t happen but is that really gonna be the difference in landing one? Good for him though, and probably good Shrewsberry is thinking outside the box.

But you can tell their AAU coach you are interested in them. If you don’t think transfers are being recruited before entering the portal… I’ve got news.

They have 6 guys in the portal, only 1 incoming recruit. Only 2 rotation guys still there it’s a complete teardown and having someone like him should help. They are years away from winning something tangible but you have to start somewhere.

For example, I know for a fact that Marcus Bingham has been getting a heavily recruited through his AAU coach from a certain local program. :joy:

what program is more local to Grand Rapids than MSU? or you’re saying MSU is re-recruiting him not to transfer?

I meant local to Detroit.

ah very interesting. his PT finally ticked up and it made MSU a lot better…wonder what he would look like at a mid-major with 30 mpg and a starring offensive role

Yeah it would be interesting. Personally, I don’t get why Bingham would transfer that far down, so I doubt it’s gonna go through. You’d figure if he’s transferring it’s to optimize his chances of getting to the pros, which wouldn’t be happening at a low major. They’re delusionally confident about their chances though.
