A better level of play for him. Then again, PSU bball was barely playing at A10 level. He has lots of work to do on his game.

Richmond did handle LaSalle more easily than PSU did last year. And, as of now, we're worse off than we were last year. We're comfortably in the Patriot/Ivy League conversation. A10 is a bit too optimistic.

Did we get a new player today? Filipino national team?

Pourover: The diminishing returns of an increased NIL budget

You can’t win in College Basketball with money alone. Although it helps.

Love the hire…I’ve been wanting someone like this on the staff.

What is our basketball payroll? Are we even at $5 million?

Where do our 4 wins come from!

4? Yeah thats maybe a bit high at the moment. Torvik has us way below the rest of the league at 151 with Rutgers next lowest at 82. Of course they dont even have ten guys to list as contributors so the ranking could go up a bit. I think they will be lucky to get 2 conference wins unless the Euros are better than anticipated or they can somehow find a scoring wing left in the portal.

Why do we bother? I know. Cash money.

Still waiting on the euros to get here and don’t expect a full scholarship roster this year. Decided to take all $ and split it with what they have. Hope no one gets hurt.

Is the exchange rate for the euros favorable?

 

[DaytonRickster]

Is the exchange rate for the euros favorable?

1.16 U.S. dollar vs Euro. Not bad, but not strong.

I hope so since this seems to be the way this roster will be coordinated in the future. Not using all 15 spots so they can offer a bit more $ to the actual players and then finding a few overseas candidates to play

The greatest coach in the world can’t do much with no talent.

Maybe I'll rethink it then and we can aspire to hire poor coaches.

Or maybe hire a head coach who can recruit better players. Filling up on mediocre transfers isn’t going to do it regardless of the assistants you bring in to teach them.

We keep giving the resources that we give and we’ll get the same result. In the meantime, I’ll take a solid assistant coaching hire.
