Re: Iup basketball
The other now-public (VC) offer is IMG Academy (FL) shooting guard Kyle Feit. He's nice size at 6'4" and spent a post grad year at IMG so he's more physically developed than most freshmen. IMG is a basketball factory known for producing mass quantities of top-shelf D1 players. He's from West Palm Beach.
To my knowledge he has not committed to IUP. Should he sign he'd likely be in the mix from Day 1. Big-time shooter.
There are some other names in the rumor mill but not firm enough yet for the board.
I haven't heard any direct ties to Amir Hinton yet. But, I wouldn't rule it out. He's the game-changer. There would likely be some issues with when he could play. Recall Norfleet had to sit his first semester (practice but not play).
I'd really love to see them finally land Randy Bell. He fixes the starting SG immediately.

Re: Iup basketball
That story kind of broke a couple weeks ago off the record. I shared it with a few on here in PMs.
Very interesting. I always thought he'd end up here. He's very tight with Malik Miller.
He's developed and bulked up. I hope he signs. He'd have two years at IUP. He'll be a big addition to what will be a loaded post ... likely to play a version of the Tevin Hanner style low post. Great athlete .... high flyer. Very quick ... started all 31 games for a 32-5 Harcum team ... averaged about 10 points and 8 boards ... strong defensive player and will fit well in to Joe's system. He'll likely see heavy minutes off bench this upcoming season as one of the top reserves.
He's not the skinny guy he was coming out of high school. He's hit the weights pretty good ... listed at 6'6" ... plays with a chip and brings some toughness ... very celebrated high school career at Aliquippa ... Recruited by Jim Crutchfield and signed with West Liberty out of high school but never attended. Played one year in FL at Polk State and this past season at Harcum.
Rumor is there are several offers in front of him ... several PSAC and one (high profile) MEC.
My guess is the Malik connection gets him signed at IUP.Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 03-26-2018, 09:27 PM.

Laina Snyder on the other hand is exactly the kind of player that I would love to see IUP bring in. Damn fine forward!

Originally posted by IUP CRIMSON HAWKS View PostAshland very impressive. I caught the last part of the game on the tube. What makes them so good? Great players that had size and that could move well. Also appeared to be smart. They looked to be mostly of Scandinavian stock. Sort of reminded me of the mighty North Dakota State football team that IUP ran into in the 1990 national title game.
Probably IUP's biggest problem in recruiting these types of players is that there are too many 'tweener schools (like Duquesne and RMU in the region) that separate the ranks of D-I ball and D-II. Instead of IUP and Cal landing say, a Chassidy Omogrosso, she goes to Duquesne. But that said she nearly went to Pitt.
IUP needs to find a way to get the D-I fringe types to come to campus. Say like what we had a decade ago with the all-world Jahzinga Tracey.
Those black uniforms that IUP wore were absolutely horrible. Why were they wearing black? That's not one of our school colors. Get rid of those and get some crimson-colored duds for the road unis.

Nice season by IUP. A regional championship and a final four appearance. Nobody is going to beat Ashland. They area juggernaut.

Re: Iup basketball
My god... Ashland is just destroying IUP 42-25 with 1:39 to halftime. IUP is 1-for-11 from three to this point.
This Ashland team is just insanely good. IUP might need a miracle or two to get back into this game, but Ashland's showing why they're the best team in the nation.
