In our Big Ten Offseason Evaluation series, we’ll break down the roster changes and outlook for all 18 Big Ten basketball teams heading into the 2024-25 season. Next up is Penn State, which enters its second year under coach Mike Rhoades.
Given that he had to flip over almost the entire roster and replace his leading scorer in February, Penn State finished with a reasonable 9-11 Big Ten record in year one of the coach Mike Rhoades era. Things certainly could have gone much worse.

Penn State lost five players to the transfer portal, but four played 10 minutes or less per game. So overall, the portal was a net positive for Rhoades and the Nittany Lions. The most intriguing transfer addition was Tennessee guard Freddie Dilione V. He redshirted his first season and played just 5.2 minutes per game last year. He suffered a foot injury in November, and minutes were tough to come by on a roster filled with All-Conference guards in their junior and senior seasons.
