I had heard rumblings about Jaylen Stewart transferring in from Seton Hill. This is a sneaky-good addition. He'll have three years here -- being surrounded with vastly better talent and coaching.
He put up 19 on Joe last year down in Greensburg -- including 4-4 from deep. Great size for a guard/wing at 6'5". Very good athlete.
Keep in mind, Seton Hill had two very good guards ahead of him last year in Drew Green and Samuel Tabe. Those were their best two players and were upperclassmen.
He'll have a year coming up to come off the bench and provide them some very good depth. This is one of those under-the-radar transfers that could pay big.

Anthony White, former IUP key reserve, has signed as a grad transfer with Langston University.
He took the last year or two off. Wish he was coming back here instead.Leave a comment:

I don't get why they are playing PSU-Altoona.
Of course, Joe doesn't call and ask my opinion, either. Lol.
The prop bet before the game will be how many minutes he plays his stars. Recall Armoni played like 38.5 against Pitt-Greensburg (and was still in with IUP up 50+). Even the crowd was yelling to take him out ... to no avail.
Seems to be the norm now in the West to play a game like this ... still wish they didn't.
Joking aside, IUP has lost a superstar two straight seasons in blowout wins. I really hope that is something that changes. Winning by 18 instead of 35 is OK. This isn't a stat-stuffer program.Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 07-16-2022, 03:38 PM.Leave a comment:

I thought D3 games are worthless to D2 teams, especially those with playoff aspirations.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostLeave a comment:

Schedule is up.
New Haven visits the KCAC this year (along with PSU-Altoona). The Chargers made the NCAA Tornament a year ago and have a strong program. That will be a challenging game.
No home tip-off weekend or Thanksgiving Classic.Leave a comment:

I suspect we'll see a road game at Le Moyne. I think they signed a four-year deal with them (two home, two away). This season would conclude the contract.
So, we know of three of their non-conference games. The others will surface soon enough.Leave a comment:

Great scorer and basketball iq. Ivy league academics.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View Post
imho, he has to get stronger and quicker, especially defensively. At his height, there are many super athletic players that could disrupt his game. High d2 much better opportunity than lower d1 to play significant minutes and maybe play overseas. I will be surprised if he develops enough for mid major d1 offer.Leave a comment:

The last big name recruit from the WPIAL made his decision.
OLSH's Jake DiMichele has announced he will take a prep year this coming season and play from First Love Christian - Scotland Campus. That place is a D1 basketball factory.
He had offers from numerous PSAC and MEC programs (including Cal and West Liberty). So, it seems pretty clear he's trying to hold out for a D1 offer.Leave a comment:
