When you see Jerrod Calhoun going from Youngstown State to Utah State, how much do you think Joe wishes he had kicked the tires (or had his tires kicked) for a DI head coaching gig?

[Cobra Hawks]

I assume Joe is recruiting hard. Only returner of note is Clarke. Others are Dillard (hopefully fit and a starter if so), Furton (very green and looked out of sorts on more than a few occasions) and Brooks (who knows as not clear if he is in Joe's dog house or not, didn't get any where near enough minutes he deserved last season). The rest are unproven and unknowns. Will be a very different line up (again!)

[Ship69]

So far Stewart, Waldo and Lambert have left.

Ethan, KJ and Bryce are done.

Petteno has a year available but it's not confirmed if he's staying.


So, Joe certainly has some salary cap room available.

Ian Herring is signed and he likely didn't come cheap. He had a ton of offers so he's likely on a full ticket.

Several schools will be looking around, Ship among them, and I think Millersville is up to about six in the portal now. PSAC rosters are going to have a very different look next season.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I think Jayson Harris (formerly of Clarion) will go low D1.

If that isn't the case, Joe should go all in.

This, as long as they have an assistantship. 17.5 hours a week in a university office at $11/hr gets them a full tuition stipend. They pay fees and expenses, but technically athletic money could cover that. Used to be a rare thing when grad classes were on evenings and weekends but now most are online. Without an assistantship, they're more expensive.

Bingo

[Fightingscot82]

Most graduate transfers take on Grad Assistantships which help decrease the costs of tuition and it pays the student/athlete. I'm sure Petteno had one and my niece is getting one this year at Boro as a Grad Transfer for soccer.

You mentioned before grad students come with less of a hit on the 'salary cap'. How does that work?

That's also how Fee turned Gannon around so quick. He said all this in an article a few weeks back.

The federal FAFSA fiasco will probably impact all recruiting this time of year. Old FAFSA was complex but ran like an old well lubricated machine. New FAFSA is simple but the rollout has been bungled. Huge delays in federal and state Depts of Ed telling schools who qualifies for what aid. Nobody at this level gives out aid without knowing what free money the player gets from the government. Combination of federal and state grants could be a half scholarship at a PASSHE school.

Wow, an over 3-inch exaggeration is really doing it up right. Usually, two inches seems to be the sweet spot. I've seen a lot of 6-6 guys grow to 6-8 on programs.

Having stood right beside Stewey I can tell you if he’s 6’3” he’s counting the length of his hair too.

[Ship69]

Stewey is back up to 6'5" in the portal. He was 6'5" when he got here. His Junior year he shrunk to 6'3" and it looks like he's grown again for his upcoming senior year.

The only thing better than basketball height/weight listings is football height/weight listings.

Cobo ranged from 6'9" to 6'7" during his four years in Indiana. Side note I think he was actually 6'8".

Joe's had a lot of 6'4" guards who weren't even 6'1".

IUPatty’s was a complete nothing burger this year. The only items making the Gazette crime and punishment section were the usuals and not linked to the event. As a resident, all I can report is a few more kids than usual wearing green and being visible for longer portions of the day. On Sunday morning more than 400 of the hooligans got together and cleaned up.

Apparently a guy from Florida ended up here driving while whacked out on meth and apparently hadn’t slept for five days! A little chase ensued and he’s now in the county clink. Nothing to do with IUPatty’s but that takes going on a bender to a whole new level.

Maybe he was in a hurry to watch Tort Spring Ball '24 ?
