Re: Iup basketball

Next year got a whole lot better looking today with Morris Jr. signing.

That is going to be one heck of a guard trio next year -- Malik Miller, Armoni Foster and Morris Jr. Add to it incoming PG Bryce Radford and SG K.J. Rhodes, along with returning junior guard Anthony White ... That is a deep rotation.


MoTown to Indiana. Love it.

Looking ahead to next season on the ladies' side:

Courtney Alexander (R-Junior)
Alana Cardona (Soph)
Madison Kerr (R-Junior)

Post

Lexi Griggs (Senior)
Rajah Fink (Soph)

Her brother Joe Mascaro was a senior on the Pitt basketball team this past season. He got to start in the final game of the season at home against Notre Dame.

They both played high school ball at Bethel Park.

You are correct. For some reason I thought she was a senior. They are going to again be pretty strong next year. Well, actually, the next several years.

Re: Iup basketball

Yeah, you could see where Joe thought all those things BUT when you put him next to Foster, Miller, Lombardi, etc, you could see defensively he wasn't close. The game was just to fast for him.

It was clear when they chose not to redshirt him he'd be in and out fast. You don't waste a year playing the final 30 seconds of games if you're in the future plans.

The kid they did redshirt was Alan Glover Jr. He's a big boy -- about 6'5" and 230 lbs. He's pretty ripped. I think Tort would love him. He was a walk-on last season. He looks like he could be a nasty TE or DE.

It wasn't a major investment. I think he got a few bucks. Maybe a quarter ride. Worth a shot. He was a summer add. Only so many spots. I'd guess he wasn't invited back.

I think he can play at this level but not here.

Re: Iup basketball

Joe on Dancsecs when he signed him:

"He's a proven big-time shooter at the international level, and we also feel he can give us depth at the point guard position. Sometimes the transition to the American game takes a little time, but we believe he has a great four-year career ahead of him."
