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.

Re: Iup basketball

Blake Morrow has committed to IUP.

He spent the past two seasons at D2 Eckerd. Big shooting guard (6'5"). Two years of eligibility.

Big get for Joe.


That's now three confirmed.

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.

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.

It's like an arms race of size for IUP vs SRU....SRU was huge this past year...and IUP is getting taller and longer as well!

Re: Iup basketball

Where the guards???

Re: Iup basketball

Marko Krivacevic ... 6'9" Forward ... transfer from Duquesne ... will have one year at IUP.


Some notes from his Duquesne bio:

* First recruit to sign under Keith Dambrot
* Averaged 6 points and 4 boards for Hungary at the 2016 FIBA U20 Euro Championships
* Played for the Hungary U18 National team

Other notes:

* Wrist injury kept him out the first 7 games ...
* Played at Miami Dade prior to spending last season at Duquesne
* Can shoot the trey -- hit two three's in a 1:25 span to help Duquesne knock of George Washington

Interesting signing. This team will have some gigantic size.

Re: Iup basketball

Off-topic but since it kind of came up ...

I got really in to watching those later-start PAC 12 basketball games the last couple years. It's a shame so much of the country doesn't see them. Very entertaining games. That league really cannibalizes each other. The Arizona/ASU games were fantastic. Depending how things work out for Miller that (Hurley/Miller) could really become an intense rivalry (I know, ... it already is ... but bigger).

For some reason Pac-12 hoops gets a bad rap. But it is actually a fantastic product. I watch a lot of it as well.

Agree about the Hurley-Miller rivalry. A couple of very good Eastern point guards back in the day who grew up with coaching fathers. They have always been fun to watch.
