Re: Iup basketball
Yeah, that is some really impressive size I freely admit. But doesn't it seem like year after year we get excited over some tall dudes and then they would be nothing more than chum in the water for the Mighty Webb who stood "only" 6-5 or 6-6. Let's see some of these guys prove something on the court. You gotta do a lot to be listed in the same category as legendary bigs like Webb or Mims.

Re: Iup basketball
As per the norm everything is locked up in Fort Knox down around the KCAC. Yesterday's signing was a bit odd but that kids tape is scary good.
This will definitely be Joe's biggest team ever size-wise.
The roster as of today (so we think) has 11 scholarship players (10 on the books as Dante gets free admission).
As expected all incoming players are ready-to-play transfers. Joe wants to send Dante out in style.
I also think after two years in a row with depth issues they decided to open the checkbook.
The guard spot is still the somewhat question but Morrow and Foster are huge additions. Humphries role, I'm guessing, will be a hybrid but mainly guard. The post is insane. Athletes, shooters, blockers, .... all bases covered. The post rotation is a legit six deep.
The question may be keeping all these guys happy. There's only 200 man minutes per game.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
IUP has signed 6'10" center Shawn Ulrich from Passaic County Community College. Two years eligibility.
He had 15 boards per game last season and 139 blocks while averaging 17 ppg.
He also shoots the trey. Built like a clone of Sleva. Hope he plays like him.Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 06-08-2018, 08:58 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
SRU will be interesting as always. Their two bigs are back and KR has Micah Till to build around. They lost a lot of other key players but that's nothing new up there. As long as Till is there for the next two years he has that massive building block.Leave a comment:

Re: Iup basketball
Call me intrigued now ...
Low-post for 2018-19
Cobo Diaz (6'9")
Willem (6'10")
Marko Krivacevic (6'9")
Dom Keyes (6'8")
Jaylen Vaughns (6'6")
Chuckie Humphries (6'6")
From what I can see, Kravacevic is more of a Cobo style forward. He's only about 215 pounds.
Well, we've been saying this would be the year they'd take some one-year guys. Here it is.
Blake Morrow has been offered but hasn't signed yet. Assuming he does that's still only 3 guards (him, Dante and Malik). I think they're going to use Humphries in the hybrid G/F role.Leave a comment:
