Mike Rhoades takes over as Penn State basketball coach, confirms coaching staff and recruiting plans.
Penn State introduced Mike Rhoades as their new men's basketball coach, with Rhoades outlining his vision for the program. Rhoades faces a tough task in following Micah Shrewsberry, who led the Nittany Lions to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in just his second season. Rhoades wants to build a program that is "bold, different and aggressive" and will focus on recruiting relationships, including in Philadelphia. He will also look to the transfer portal to restock the roster. Rhoades' seven-year contract signals a commitment to stability for the program.
