PSU guys are kind of hinting they weren’t given the chance and the AD found out from twitter.

There’s no way he would pick PSU over ND for the same money.

15K arena in State College is still nuts to me. I know they use it for other stuff, but feel like they might really benefit from something more like Villanova has if they ever got serious about bball.

I think PSU needs to do some more fundamental stuff than hire a good coach if they don’t want that good coach to repeat what just happened.

I highly doubt that was the reason. Think it was him opting to go to a school where he could win bigger, faster than at PSU.

Can’t move the school, though.

I don’t think people realize how awful the PSU MBB job is. It is hands down the worst job in the conference. The gap from 13th (Northwestern?) to 14th is probably as large as the gap from, say, 9th to 13th. It is the least institutionally supported P6 job in the country. head coach salary is just one ingredient and even if PSU decided to match $6 million a year (which they never would in a million years) it wouldn’t change their arena, facilities, donors, budget, recruiting footprint, etc

Yeah, I’m pretty confused by people tweeting at me that it is a lateral move.

So Penn State has five guys out of eligibility (Pickett, Wynter, Funk, Dread. Henn), one going pro (Lundy), and two in the transfer portal. Of their recruits, Shrewsberry’s kid is obviously going with dad and another one (a random 3*) is an Indiana kid. The other is top-100 Carey Booth, who is maybe solid since his dad played at Penn State. But it seems like the best case for this team is something like what LSU did this year.

OMG i drafted 65% of a somewhat long disagreement w/ you on this, and then i’m like, nah…stand down dirk. We are NOT.

We are NOT what? Penn State? If that’s what you mean I definitely agree.

We. Are. (Not.) Penn State.

Oh you probably know their chant WE Are. Penn State.

And they really are. Especially in football. In basketball, eh … not sure they are at their desired standard.

Yeah but They. Still. ARE. Penn State.

I would put this on my car.

many are saying “Dylan needs to add these to the shop”

“so that he can add physical item fulfillment and shipping to his unbelievable workload, for the possibility of making one extra dollar”

Loss leader. I’m actually still waiting on my umhoops coffee cup, which Dylan insists I didn’t qualify for. But I like to think that the customer is always right.
