Sad to say but the reality is it’s probably going to come down to cash. If IUP has it then there’s a chance it happens. If someone else has more, it probably won’t.

Salary cap-wise, they have a lot falling off the books. He should have plenty available for the key spots.

I assume you mean scholarship money (not NIL).

Finding forwards is always a problem. Guards are available but forwards... ugh! Hopefully our rumors are true.

Graduating:

Ethan, KJ, Petteno and Radford



Likely to stay:

Garvin, Dallis, Denzel, Stewart, Sarp, Romero-Sanz



The rest are up in the air.



Joe needs some Dawgs. No more pet projects. If he gets ready-to-play bigs they will bounce back very quickly. No more guards-turned-forwards. He needs legit post players to go with what will be a very strong guard group returning.


Despite getting totally F-ed this year, I do think Brooks will stay.


I look for two transfer forwards and one transfer "Bryce type" in this class (to get started).

If he can find the forwards, it should be a good season.

A few less horses in the stable. That was really the difference. It’s interesting how this team was better at playing in high scoring games than last year’s team. They had the shooters but losing Tomiwa and never being able to replace him is what killed the 23-34 team’s chances. Obviously losing Dillard didn’t help. We could go on forever about the lineups on the floor and the unfathomable amount of minutes KJ took from Brooks, but it’s water under the bridge now. I thought they played as well as they could in the final two games.

The next few days are going to be interesting. Who’s staying and who’s packing their bags?

They have big, experienced guards. IUP just needed one more of them tonight and probably would have won.

Great effort tonight.

I wish Joe played Petteno at the 3 all year. He was fantastic the last two weeks.

KJ, Bryce and Sarp were destroyed all night. Joe needed more than 4 guys but didn't have them.

I assuming Garvin's broken fingers played a part in his lack of production down the stretch. Hopefully he's back and healthy next yer.

Stewart played a solid final two games. I still think he's a guy off the bench player.

Ethan... not much to say but Great way to finish your career. You played your ass off.


Joe...time to trim the fat and hit the recruiting trail.

Millersville beat Gannon already and Ville took out ESU twice in the 2 weeks. Ville just might have the game to take down the vaunted presses.

Ethan was incredible. Playing 39:45 against that team and going for 35 points. What a career.


I really wish Petteno had another year. I think Joe will regret looking back how he was used.

Stewart played a great game Monday and I thought he was very good tonight. I think he'll be pretty solid next year paired with Garvin, Denzel and Dallis. That's a strong foursome of guards.

Joe was just a couple guys short tonight and still had a shot with 45 seconds left. That freaking banked in Gannon trey was a killer.


Obviously congratulations to Gannon. That's a very good, deep team. Going from 3-23 to this is unreal. Call it a hunch but I think an All-West final is looming.

Great effort by the team. Porterfield is a breath of fresh air in this no-loyalty Era. I wish him all the best. It was great watching him play all those games. He must be as great a young man as he is a basketball player.

Incredible effort. One player away.

Makes you wonder if Dallis was here.

[Scrub]

Heck of an effort. Great send-off game for Porterfield. Left it all out there.

[Scrub]

They just need to find a way to make it a final possession game and try to steal a win..

Got your wish. HUGE shot by Porterfield.

[Chuck Norris]

Heck of an effort no matter how it ends up.

Love of God put Brooks in. Joe's boy is being murdered.
