Re: Iup basketball

From memory I believe he is a Pittsburgh local (Montour High School, maybe). I thought once he decided to do the post-grad year at IMG he was gone from our radar. He is a big SG -- around 6'5" to 6'6".

That's an awesome land. Playing a year at IMG is essentially playing with college kids. He'll be a full year removed from high school -- when they go from skinny dorks to more physically developed, etc.


That's two down for next year's class.

Re: Iup basketball

Not sure what to make of Humphries so far ... haven't seen too much of him. He's right in that weird size for D2 ... kind of too small to play underneath and probably not up to the guard level to make the switch. That said you can't take much out of seeing a guy play 4-5 mpg. We all know Joe historically likes to break these new guys in at a snails pace.

I will say from observing both him and Marko it is very apparent they aren't just 'playing' yet. They are 'thinking' way too much.

I wish you could have seen Marko drain that three last night. Talk about form ... guy looked like Larry Bird. Guys around me where all like 'WTF' ... I've seen him shoot two foul shots and a deep trey ... he hasn't touched the rim yet. All net. When that gets cut loose ... look out. Have fun defending a 6'10" guy nailing treys while Cobo is underneath and Malik is slicing and dicing.

Scouting Marko I knew he could shoot. He shoots during warm ups also and looks good. I said to my girl friend on Saturday that I can't wait to see that kid start bombing it from outside. We got a sample yesterday!

What a waste!!! I could only get the stat tracker. The radio feed was "blacked out."

Re: Iup basketball

That's what I figured. IUP and Joe have the horses to do that. Let's get through Westminster and Sciences first. Westminster could be a good game to get Chucky and Marko rolling!!! Marko got a good taste yesterday with Willem in foul trouble but we need more from Chucky!!!

Control Anthony Lee and control Kutztown.

Re: Iup basketball

U of Sciences gave Kutztown all it could handle tonight. Looks like that won't be the easy we game we thought next Friday night.

I'd chalk this up to a hangover performance but they were good enough. Got blasted on the boards -- the offensive boards in particular.

Every time Bowie got close IUP was hitting some clutch treys. Bearer had a huge one in the second half and Marko hit one, too.

Marko is getting closer. Can't make a layup but has a beautiful shot. Joe's going to cut him loose some. He's not a banger. He can be a floor spreader, however.

It was one of those games where you could plow somebody linebacker style with no call but breathe on somebody and whistles blew.

I say it yearly: Blows my mind why Bowie doesn't press all 40 minutes. Every run they had came during their press. They also hit the glass hard.

Nice win on a so-so night. They won't all be works of art.

Cobo went for 25 and 13.

IUP 78

Not a work of art but a nice win.

The ladies laid it on Bloom pretty good.
