Re: Iup basketball


For the most part Joe has been reluctant to take the D3 game (thankfully). When you look at his normal non-conference schedule, it's all the more odd. Who knows. It could be as simple as they needed a date filled.

With the schedule he took this year (Concord, Virginia State, Bowie State, Fairmont State, Le Moyne) ... playing Westminster is what it is. It's an extra home date and better than no game. Ironically, Westminster came oh-so-close to beating Youngstown State last season.

IUP also gets no break in the crossover with all four East big boys -- Ship, East Stroudsburg, West Chester and Kutztown.

Toss in the usual suspects in the West and this is a very daunting schedule.

That opening weekend is going to be fantastic. I'm going to guess Malik Miller is drawing the big assignment in the Concord game.

Re: Iup basketball

When was the last time IUP played a D3/NAIA/PSU satellite campus? Because I was actually stunned to see Westminster (Pa.) on the schedule.

I remember IUP hosting Pitt Greensburg at the start of the 2012-2013 season.

The rumblings are way bigger than Randy Bell. Joe went after him the last two years and Bell said no. This year Bell asked to play at IUP and Joe said no. I can not reveal the rumblings as of yet.

Re: Iup basketball

So were the rumblings about Randy Bell or is there another possibility out there?

Re: Iup basketball

Randy Bell signed with NAIA Dalton State College per Verbal Commits.

End of that mystery. He was linked to IUP (twice) in the past after starting with Holy Family and then Lynn. He was linked to a few PSAC schools again this off-season.

Heck of a scorer. I'd guess the third team in three years thing scared several away this time around. I really thought he was going to land at SRU. Maybe next year.

Don't know if it is the case here but as I recall West Liberty (I think?) signed a LB who had gone to two NCAA schools previously (Two D1's I think). NCAA declared him ineligible due to number of transfers and he ended up going to an NAIA to finish out his college career.

Re: Iup basketball

It's been about 10 days or so since Morrow was released. Anybody hear of any late addition?

If there isn't, does this change the Ulrich redshirt and perhaps move Humphries out to guard and Ulrich in to the post rotation?

I still tend to think we'll see another guard appear. There's been heavy action with late signings the past two weeks across the D2 level.

I could be wrong but I see Joe sticking to redshirting Ulrich no matter what. Even if Humphries moves to guard there are still four capable post players. Humphries could still fill in down low in a pinch.
