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 heā€™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 ā€“ not BTN. @goblue8 is on the better track, just a different school.

Yep guessing heā€™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 didnā€™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 donā€™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 todayā€™s transfer world, especially at a place like psu, I think thereā€™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. Iā€™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 doesnā€™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 donā€™t think transfers are being recruited before entering the portalā€¦ Iā€™ve got news.

They have 6 guys in the portal, only 1 incoming recruit. Only 2 rotation guys still there itā€™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 youā€™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 betterā€¦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 donā€™t get why Bingham would transfer that far down, so I doubt itā€™s gonna go through. Youā€™d figure if heā€™s transferring itā€™s to optimize his chances of getting to the pros, which wouldnā€™t be happening at a low major. Theyā€™re delusionally confident about their chances though.
