His post said he was going to 'explore his options' ... that wasn't necessarily a 'goodbye' type of message.

He's certainly earned the right to explore. But, him not being here next year is far from a done deal.

Hammer meet nail... he's looking for the right situation. If it's not there then I'm sure he'll be back. I can't imagine he'd be looking to play at schools like Youngstown St, Duquense, etc that are going nowhere. I would assume it would be a school that would get him exposure, playing time and possibly getting to March Madness.

If he moves on, big loss for you guys for sure. It would obviously be mitigated somewhat if Jones returns, and I'm sure IUP will be in the hunt for a good replacement. Some of the guards that are in the portal will surely have some suitors.

I hope he lands in the right situation. Armoni was the ultimate foundation rock for IUP the past several years. To play the second half this year in the condition he was in was incredible. Find me how many right-handed point guards can play 3 months with their right hand at about 10 percent health -- among several other injuries. Armoni's win-loss record at IUP is off the charts, and his teams have hosted the past three regionals (that IUP played a season).

Armoni is a smart guy. He's not going to leave for just any D1 offer that comes along. Who knows. If the right fit doesn't come along his IUP story may have another chapter. It's a tough road for guards to get a shot in the big leagues coming out of D2. The big guys seem to have much more success. I'd guess Armoni will get a lot of mid-major action in the coming days.

I know when they played at Illinois this year in front of 15,000 people (and he was 100%) ... he was one of the best players in the building that night.

Assuming Armoni does actually depart, does Joe now get involved with Fred Mulbah or Miykah McIntosh?

Looks like the KCAC cleaned house. Just about every full-time job over there is now open.

They were already short staffed. Hmmmm

But not the job of point guard, right? ; )

Good to see that your roster has, so far, avoided the dreaded TP curse. I understand the point of the TP, but I hate what it's doing to teams from a fan standpoint.

Full week since the season ended ... I thought if IUP got to today with no portal entries ... things would be safe.

That said, I think there was only one of major significance in play.

I do anticipate we'll see a name or two from the deep bench appear in the coming weeks. This will likely be the result of Joe needing to clear some roster space.

I said today is the day.

Former IUP assistant Lamont Paris (most recently the head coach at Chattanooga) is expected to be named the HC at South Carolina today. Per reports he agreed to a 5-year deal.

Rumor circulating IUP is after another player from the WPIAL. Stay tuned.

Joe must know what he wants. lol
