I remember in 2019 IUP opened with WVW. I think they thought it was going to be a walk in the park. WVW had like 5-6 dunks in the first half and was up by 6-7 at halftime. I would not have wanted to be in that locker room that night. Joe was ready to explode by the end of the first half.
Said explosion must have worked because IUP won the second half by 35 or so.
As I recall that was the WVW team that actually had a good starting five ... lot of foreign players. I think they actually beat WL that year (once). I know the player who had like four of the dunks on IUP that night transferred out. He was a really good athlete at small forward. IUP just crushed them defensively in the second half.

Have solid guards in heller, kennedy and weir from Nova se. I think their coach is good.
Wvw lost their coach recently and had a down season last year.

Oh I agree... The deal with Concord is they played last year. That's what makes me nervous about them. The IUP style should slow them BUT IUP hasn't played legit games in almost 2 years.

I was thinking he may go a little lighter than normal this year. Joe has a tough crossover schedule this year from the East (at Kutztown,, at West Chester, Shippensburg).
Add to it a pair with Mercyhurst, etc., and they will have a pretty solid SOS resume without needing to kill themselves in non-conference. Virginia State will give them one big game. Concord isn't a gimme. They've played well up here and are known for some big wins yearly in the MEC. There should be another game or two announced before we can make a final call.

I hate to say this but Virginia St is probably the only real competition unless Concord brought in some top talent. Salem and WVWU leave a lot to be desired annually!

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostSome new info on the schedule:
Teams attending the IUP Tip-Off: UPJ, Concord, West Virginia Wesleyan
Teams attending the IUP Thanksgiving Weekend: Salem, Virginia State, UPJ
Obviously, IUP will not play UPJ at these events.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostBrooks is 6'6" and appears to be around 215 lbs. He played G/F in high school and graduated in the class of 2020. He spent last year at Vision Academy NYC (post grad).
He's certainly a rim attacker and strong defender. His tape will remind you of Tevin Hanner.
Nice thing is he isn't a 'true freshmen' -- he's had that extra year to develop his body/game.
I suspect he's in the mix (to some extent) this season.
Extremely interested to see Joe's rotation this year. He hasn't had a team this deep in a long time. And, we know the dream rotation is iron man.
But, assuming Armoni, Morris and Shawndale rarely leave the floor at the guard positions, it does give him (5) solid post players. I think the battle for being the 4th and 5th guard is going to be interesting.

Wonder whom the connection is in NYC ...
I'll do some digging on this latest player.
I did have a feeling something was happening as the roster is usually up by this time of the year.

So is nobody left then the roster is at 15 with Faulk and Brooks added to your list.
