Re: Iup basketball

I think a losing school can restrict were a player can and can not transfer to if they so chose. It is a common occurrence at the D1 level. Don't no if a DII could restrict one of it's players from transferring to a D1.

I haven't heard of any such instances in D2, though that's not to say that it can't happen.

Re: Iup basketball

I'm not sure that's exactly what Joe was implying. He could have also meant Hinton could be going D1. I don't know all the details of how LH landed him. It was just a strange comment and he noticeably caught himself and changed the topic.

Didn't Norfleet have to sit out the first semester?

Would he have to sit out a year because in conference transfer?

No

I believe he would have to sit out a semester. So he wouldn't be able to play until January. When Norfleet transferred he didn't play until January because of that.

I did ... he stopped himself short before finishing the sentence.

I caught that immediately. In that same interview he called Hinton the best player in the whole PSAC.

I remember that night posting something about it on here asking if anybody else caught the interview but didn't go any further with it.

You could have a Brandon Norfleet Part 2 situation developing .. never know.

Re: Iup basketball

We'll see what happens for next year. I think this could be a little more wild of an off season than we think.

Looking at it now, IUP needs faster more athletic big men to compete with the MEC/Sleva. Love Driz but he just wasn't athletic enough to hang. Danielak needs to play more of the 3/4 spot next season. I'm not really sure what's up with those guys on the bench this season. Past the 8 that played are the rest any good??? Watching those guys warm up all year, all I ever saw them do is dunk. That doesn't tell me much about their REAL game.

Did anyone else hear the interview where Joe talked about Amir Hinton and how it would be hard for LHU to keep him / hmmmm.

Re: Iup basketball

Milo Luciano is the one with the most upside. He could have played this year. His game, from what I'm told, is very similar to Dante's.

Re: Iup basketball

"Agree, there only shot is to get lucky with their crossover schedule - then win the PSAC. On the other hand, Next year is looking pretty promising, especially if Joe can find a good quality Big to replace Cottrell"


One season ends ... another begins.

Spain and Cottrell leave. Six of the 8-man rotation return. Greg Bearer, Milo Luciano and Jeremiah Nkumsah come off redshirt (if they all return). Jesse Huff has two years remaining.

I'd expect a 3-man class. My guess would be this is a 'win now' type of upcoming class. They need some additions to play from Day 1 next November. I'd like to see the addition of a legit center, a power forward and a shooting guard. Adding a little muscle can let Danielak return to his normal position and out of the hybrid forward/center role.

I wouldn't totally rule out Jeremy Bonafacio returning after his one-year of JUCO in Los Angeles. Former WL recruit and current Polk State player Chuckie Humphries could be a name we see surface. He is very tight with Malik Miller. Although he'd be a 'small' small forward and may not be what they're looking for in this group.

Bottom line is somebody is going to have to deal with Sleva next year in order to win the PSAC and beyond. When you consider 'building up' for one season, you look two seasons ahead to Cobo and Dante as seniors and Malik as a junior. That could be a wild team. With that in mind I'd doubt Joe signs any one-year types for this upcoming season. And as Chuck said, there is a serious need for some speed.

This is all of course pending no big surprises this off-season.
