Penn State Basketball Rebuilds with Experience | Penn State Basketball News

Penn State men’s basketball kicks off week six of summer workouts with a revamped roster, aiming to rebound from last year’s disastrous 12-20 Big Ten campaign. Only one starter, Ivan Jurić, returns, while nine new transfers—many with at least two years of college experience—bring maturity and proven grit. Coach Mike Rhoades vows to avoid another young roster, emphasizing that experience will be key to competing in the Big Ten. Transfers like Brant Byers, who led Miami of Ohio to an undefeated regular season, bring discipline and poise, while Jurić, now 40 pounds heavier, is focused on dominating the boards and defense. With international recruits still pending and the college basketball landscape in flux, the Nittany Lions are building toward a more seasoned, competitive team ready to make noise in 2026-27.

Rhoades Faces NIL Reality in Big Ten | Penn State Basketball News

Penn State men’s basketball coach Mike Rhoades is blunt: his program sits at the bottom of the Big Ten in NIL funding, calling it an “arms race” — but he’s not making excuses. After a brutal 12-20 season with one of the youngest rosters in college hoops, including losing their starting point guard, Rhoades is focused on turning things around. This offseason, they brought in six veteran transfers — all with at least two years of eligibility — to add maturity and depth. While they’re still behind financially compared to rivals like Michigan (who won the national title with a roster of experienced transfers), Rhoades is determined to compete. With a $3 million NIL budget for the year, he’s betting that experience, not just talent, will be the key to breaking through in the Big Ten.
