Penn State is set to hire VCU’s Mike Rhoades as the school’s next men’s basketball coach, according to a report from Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Rhoades will replace Micah Shrewsberry, who left his post for the coaching job at Notre Dame. He orchestrated a swift two-season turnaround in Happy Valley that saw the Nittany Lions reach the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament this season.
Rhoades’s salary is expected to be in excess of $3 million per season, according to Rothstein. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was first to report the school’s interest in Rhoades on Wednesday morning.
