Someone more connected than me will have more insight, but I wrote his name as someone maybe Edinboro would kick the tires on and learned he basically was not asked to come back to Cathedral Prep. Not sure what happened but he won the Class 5A state title in 2021.

He won a state title with zero Philly area teams playing and most of Pittsburgh not playing. Let’s not forget that!

When you speak inappropriately to HS girls, you’re not going to have a job. Prep kept that hidden. Dirty! Why Joe asked him back is very confusing to me.

Looking at the Cathedral Prep HS Twitter feed, it looks like their head coach Steve Piotrowicz is coming back to IUP to be Joe’s assistant again.

Im not sure I like this hire.

I don't remember him at all. Of course, trying to remember all of Joe's assistants is a pretty daunting task.

I can tell you that's not an easy job. He's tough on those guys -- especially the younger ones.

It seems our top post players have had much more success overseas -- especially at getting to the higher levels.

Cobo and Sleva could have easily played in D1 their final two collegiate seasons. I'd guess they are both doing pretty well financially.

Former IUP post player Willem Brandwijk is also having a lot of success. IUP could have got so much more out of him.

There are even some openings for the women now. Arial Jones has been playing in Australia.

Most probably go over for the experience and to give themselves another year or two playing the game. It's nice that these players can have that opportunity.

I don't think many play very long. Seems most stay over there a year or two.

Jacobo Diaz and Dustin Sleva are both in more exclusive leagues (i.e. making much more money).

It's a lot, but there are also dozens of leagues.

It would be interesting to know how many PSAC guys are playing ball in Europe now.

Not surprising, but Kyle Polce has signed with Ron Fudala.

Diop next?

It's neat to think back to those years.

I remember in the Final Four game against Tarleton State in 14-15 ... that was the most athletic team I've ever seen in D2. I still don't know how IUP beat them playing 7 guys.

I know how. The Tarleton cheerleaders pregame were waving flags that spelled out T-E-X-N-A-S instead of Texans. Kiss of death every time. (I miss those days solely for the inbound alley-oop plays to Tevin Hanner that somehow was telegraphed but no one could ever stop.)
