Clarion's Godspower (6'11, 280 lbs) officially in the portal.
I'll never forget one time Chucky ran around a screen right in to him. Chucky went airborne about 7' backward. Literally like running in to a brick wall.
He's not a bad player. Walking double-double in D2. He can actually somewhat move for his size and had nice shooting touch.
He'd be interesting on a good team in spurts.

He's a Joe type F/G ... 'stretch four' or whatever the latest term is.
The scholarship salary cap is still 10 max. Even with Covid I haven't seen any temporary increases. So, the money is tight.
I assume Demo, Morris, Armoni and Shawndale are full rides. Porterfield, I've heard, may be on heavy academic money. I'd guess Suliman is a full ride. They really wanted Radford so he may be close, too.
That leaves about 3-4 equivalencies for the rest of the team.
The way Joe plays it justifies full ticket studs rather than several half riders. I mean, only 7-8 are playing anyway.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostAnother recruiting battle with possible IUP ties has emerged.
Caleb Furr (6'7" F from Warrenton, VA's Highland High) has offers from Gannon, Mercyhurst, Millersville, Lander and Chestnut Hill. He has also visited Cal and (this past weekend) IUP (his dad went to IUP).
It doesn't appear as of now that either IUP or Cal has officially offered him.
He's an intriguing prospect for sure, but him coming would mean somebody has to go. Joe's pretty crowded under the basket next year. Even to bring him in with the plan to redshirt him ... somebody likely has to go.
I suspect we will see 2-3 'transfers' show up in the portal (outbound) in the coming days. That's unfortunately part of the business ... only so many spots.
I project we will see a transfer coming in as well as one high school player.

Correct. He's already said in interviews he only picked his current D3 school for academic purposes. So, that's obviously important to him.
I get the D3 stigma but he's a baller. I'd love to land him. He may have to come off the bench. That could be the issue. I'd say David, Armoni and Shawndale are the clear-cut starters at guard. But, I think he'd still get heavy minutes in the rotation.
I know we only got a very brief showing this Spring, but I really, really think Joe needs a more ready-to-play 4th guard for this upcoming season. I like Radford at Guard-5 this season but maybe not Guard-4 just yet. Polce and Rhodes need a full season of development. Radford seems ready on the offensive end. He was a bit too much of a hack on the defensive end.
But, again, how much will those young guys really play once Shawndale is back and David isn't sitting out half of games. The way Joe subs in-season ... they won't play much next year. But, if there is a prolonged injury, I think it's imperative they add an upperclassmen guard. The way the starting three guards all create and drive, adding that long-range bomber could be huge.

As of now he has offers from:
IUP
Gannon
Slippery Rock
Shippensburg
Florida Southern
Lenoir-Rhyne
Palm Beach Atlantic
Franklin Pierce
U-Sciences
He was named a D3 preseason first team All-America entering this season. They finally had their first game two weeks ago and we went for 33 points and 23 rebounds.

Former IUP player Geoff Evans resigned from the PSU Shenango position. They didn't play a game this past year and I'm not even sure he got to coach a game there.

Good thinking!
I tend to think he'll land at a mid-major.
