Re: Iup basketball

The 2000 team, while not remembered as one of the greats, had one of the great runs in program history -- ending in the Elite 8.

Recall that group, led by PSAC Player of the Year Mike Beckles, essentially reached the Elite 8 with a 6-man rotation. Seven on some nights.

Aaron Faulkner was another good one kind of lost to history.

How about crazy Fannar ? His 'departure' certainly soured his role in program history. He was a scrappy one, though, during his time here.

Re: Iup basketball

Since the old stuff came up ... was curious.

Dennis Mims' lone season:

16.6 points per game
11.3 rebounds per game
59.2 FG%
90 blocked shots

For those who remember, recall he was routinely double- and even triple-teamed on most nights.


The other famous one-year import, Rodney Horton:

22.8 points per game
8 rebounds per game

Mims was a BAD man! I guess both literally and figuratively. Nastiest IUP post player ever with the mighty Webb right there.

How tall was Mims? I can't even recall exactly. Wasn't he like 6-10 or so?

Re: Iup basketball

Just curious - Does anyone know any details about Amir Hinton, who transferred from Loch Haven? Where is he going?

His former teammate at Lock Haven Tarojae Brake transferred to Kutztown. No word on Hinton.

Re: Iup basketball

Yes, I do remember him being smothered and he still dominated offensively! Defensively, good luck getting to the rim because he blocked everything!

Shawn Dyer not getting any love. One-year guys are tough, though, on such lists. That said, he was awfully good.

Kanaskie era:

1. Phil Crump/Kirk Williams (PG)
2. Paul Newman (SG)
3. Yancey Taylor (All 5 Positions!!)
4. Derrick Freeman (PF)
5. Bert Misenko (PF)

6th man: Jason Bullock (SG)
Reserve: Mark Kynard (SG)
Reserve: Josh Shoop (PF)

Re: Iup basketball

Probably need Ayyub Ali on there somewhere. Eddie Peterson was good but he was such an absolute beep for what he did that he does not deserve nor warrant the mention.

Mike Mangel or Eric Castorina??? Eric was the biggest hustle guy ever.

Re: Iup basketball

I'm not old enough/enough of an IUP fan to do anyone but a Lombardi team.

F - Darryl Webb
F - Marcel Souberbielle
G - Thomas Young
G - Ashton Smith
G - Brandon Norfleet
6th man - Julian Sanders
Reserve guard - Devante Chance
Reserve forward - Cobo Diaz

OK, two observations. 1.) Has Cobo had a better career than Marcel? If not, what more does he have to do his senior year (besides wearing a mask -- Marcel got battered around almost as much as Dante) to catch up or pass him? 2.) I put Norfleet instead of Dyer since he was there for three years. He also -- quietly -- is No. 4 on the all-time scoring list. Sure, he was a bit of a volume shooter and 353 points added from his time at Cheyney running and gunning, but still I didn't realize he was that high up there.

Re: Iup basketball

Edwards era (from memory ... probably will forget somebody obvious):

PG - DeWayne Anthony or Wes Layton. Tough call.

G - Rodney Horton

F - Dennis Mims
F - Mike Beckles
F - Steve Menifee

Bench
G - Keenan Holmes
G - Geoff Evans
G - Sly McIntosh
