That's Smart's thing, if he's ok with it, that's fine. Assuming he's helping his coaching tree to grow.

dominated? led in the first half doesn't mean anything...

Not surprised at all, our new coach is obvioisly not as good as the previous ones at this point, most likely more losses to Dayton (another former coach) later in the conference play as well.

no true road Non-conference games at all? That's interesting, that has not happened for many years I assume?

Assuming he'll get much more NIL money at PSU, good for him.

But we were not shutting down opponents's best players, more often than not, the opponent stars score more than their averages, especially in those ncaa games we lost over the years. And the year we went to F4, almost everyone on the team was a 3pt threat. Obvious we'd like to be balanced, but...

Yea, either way, we should focus on getting next year's starters from the portal, regardless if they were here this year or not.

With all this year's starters gone, we'll have a brand new team next year anyway. At this point, the best way forward is for Coach Odom to bring in new talents with more experiences, rather than putting the hope on players who did not have much playing time this year.

He seemed happy last time on TV with Marquett team in a bar.

Coaches are chasing for money though, not only about career. Well, money is a very big part of the career I guess. A CEO at a small company vs. VP in a huge org, with 2X pay thing.

Not sure if players have to put their names in portal to start the discussions with new teams? I'd think some players may already have at least verbal offers in hand prior to entering the portal. If not, it's like you are putting in notice with current company without another job offer yet, who...

It's hard to say which players are better at our level, but I'd think coaches would prefer players fit better with their styles. Also Odom was a head coach before us so he has his own guys to bring in, same situation for Rhodes to PSU. While Smart was an assitant prior to us, so the priorities...

Agree with your pt, but that's exactly the reason he'd not be great at the nba level.

I think outplayed was a mis statement, but he was contained by the opponents in NCAA, even in A10 tournament, he was not that stellar. Our last guards in NBA, Maynor and Hyland were not easily contained.

Time is different now, players had to sit out one year after transfer back then. Now it's much easier to bring in new ppl, also to lose the existing ppl. Plus Smart year was a miracle, he's a very good coach, but still that was a miracle year, once in a lifetime thing, should not expect it as a...
