Shrewsberry not to Georgetown. Must be the cost of housing.

I never thought the Georgetown mentions would come to anything.Shrewsberry not to Georgetown. Must be the cost of housing.

I have said it too many times about this years squad...the lack of just an average big guy, a post guy that could get us 4 baskets a game...ugh! A kid like the the Wisky kid, Kroll?, and we are still playing. Not only that....go back a look how many games we would have won this year. Texas was able to put a long, athletic 6-8 guy on Pickett, challenge all of his shots, and not have to double-team. You can't rely on making 3's every single game, even if they are wide open shots. There are games where you have to get points on the block...Harrar is here and we are FF good.
Can't say whether Iona cares about losing Slick Rick, but his buyout is ZERO.
FWIW, so is Nick Saban's.
Shrewsberry not to the NFL either. Evidently, goodell’s got this (and a lot more).

Sources: Goodell expected to receive new deal
Roger Goodell and NFL owners are expected to finalize a multi-year contract extension for the commissioner at next week's owners meetings in Phoenix, league sources told ESPN.

Picket’s subpar shooting game with 7 turnovers hurt big-time as well as the unforced dumb dumb over and back turnover at the two minute mark.
Thought when PSU went up 3 we were going to hang in to win.

Kraft can’t afford to lose Shrewsberry. It would be a bad start to his AD career at PSU, a defining moment really. I think he knows he needs to step up now. We will know soon enough.
The fact that Dave Jones is reporting this give me lots of hope.

I have no doubt Kraft understands the importance of retaining Coach Shrewsberry, but it's not entirely his decision.

Again, bring in the big guns. Sandy is ready, willing, and able.
SIAP
Apparently Kraft made a significant offer to Coach Shrewsberry. This is encouraging. For once, PSU is willing to invest in its Basketball Program.

Penn State set to make major investment in Micah Shrewsberry, per report
This report about Micah Shrewsberry sounds encouraging for Penn State.

Getting Shrew back is paramount. I think getting Lundy to come back one more year also is important.
Jones is an epic sized douche … my season tickets that he had that typically stupid smirk on his face typing that tweet.
I added hoops season tickets the year Coach was hired. Thinking finally my alma mater made a real commitment to winning.
I never cared for ND, but the hate wasn’t on the sPitt level. They will pass them if they steal Coach. Might be nothing we can do to keep him if he wants the job bad enough. Praying for him to stay here

Yes but Joe came from a different generation and was from a different time. Times change, not alzways for the better.
There were good and bad people in Joe’s generation just as there are good and bad people in every generation. Some people make all their career decisions based on money and some people don’t. Nobody knows what’s important to Shrews except him.
Love this reference!! Pass from Bilsky or Wohl? Corky Calhoun? Could be mixing teams and years. Phil Hankinson just popped into my head. Loved those Penn teams and the Palestra doubleheaders.
Anyone care to summarize what Tom is posting? The PC I'm on blocks twitter and other pages when they're attached.
7:07 tip. My dad worked at General Electric Re-Entry systems division at 31st and Chestnut; we’d drive to the games from Levittown, park in the GE lot, and walk to the Palestra. He was a Villanova fan, I lived and breathed Penn.

Bilsky and Wohl were magicians at drawing charges. Total BS but it worked for a while.
Good list. I’d have Cannon higher. Michael Brooks won NPOY, as I recall.This link will bring back some memories of the great Big5 players:

I can remember some great games with Howard Porter against Kenny Durrett. There were so many great many big men though the years. Easy Ed Pinckney was one that comes to mind. The game was different back then. It was real team basketball. The Palestra double headers were intense.
It was great basketball. I’m a Hoya first and foremost but the Big Five did beat Georgetown in a championship game. That’s something to be proud of. My dad graduated Hoya and definitely did not share this sentiment. On the flip side, the day before he died he told me that Kenny Durrett against Western Kentucky was the greatest performance he’d ever seen.

Apparently Shrewsberry had a Zoom call with the donors and Success With Honor and Anthony Lubrano commandeered the whole meeting, cut off Shrewsberry a couple times, made it about himself, and said, as a BoT member and co-founder of SWH, getting the NIL money Shrewsberry wants is essentially not feasible because they want to spread it out among multiple sports. I wasn’t on the call so I don’t know all the details, but the whole thing apparently left a sour taste in many people’s mouths
