Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostSo ... in theory a new season began yesterday.
Those returning in 2020-21 for what will be a loaded IUP roster:
Guards
David Morris
Armoni Foster
Shawndale Jones
Anthony White
Bryce Radford
K.J. Rhodes
Post
Ethan Porterfield (6'9")
Tommy Demogerontas (6'8" and will play all five positions at times)
Ousmane Diop (6'10")
Shawn Ulrich (6'8")
Walk-ons
Dylan Benton
Anthony Glover Jr.
As of now, Joe's recruiting class this year will be comprised of one player. There's only one spot. By my count of the above, they have (9) scholarships being used -- which leaves one full ride. Ulrich and Anthony White combine for one full ride. The others -- I believe -- are on full ticket.
So, the question becomes if you can take one guy in what will be a National Title push ... what position? Joe likes to stay stocked up for the future so I assume it will be a multi-year transfer. Although, there is already a name floating around who would be a one-year guy at the small forward position.
They really like both Rhodes and Radford. Both could have played this year as true freshmen. Radford was lost for the season in camp and Joe decided to redshirt Rhodes due to a lack of available minutes. By all accounts I'm told Diop will be a Day 1 starter next winter.
To add a guard this off-season ... would really just have to be the perfect fit. I'm kind of leaning toward a Chucky-type playmaker/defender.
Make no mistake, expectations will be through the roof next November. This is likely a preseason Top 3 team.

Some world expert said this will last until there is a vaccine, possibly 18 months.
I told somebody today that I don't believe there will be a football season next year.
Every expert talks about flattening the curve. However, they also all agree that the second these measures are removed (likely in about 4-8 weeks), we'll be right back to where we started. That's the challenge here. You can undo a lot of good by letting 35,000 into a major league baseball stadium in early July. The doctor in charge of the Ohio Department of Health said today that if there isn't a vaccine rather soon, she believes approximately 40-50% of Ohioans will be infected with COVID-19 within the next year. Other states/cities have reported similar numbers as well. I guess everybody has the choice as to whether or not they believe that.

Originally posted by Scrub View PostIt almost feels like they were considering the region to have 4 conferences (MEC, CIAA, PSAC West, & PSAC East), and it seemed like they felt the need to spread things around a bit. You can understanding their thinking there. But it does feel odd that Armoni didn't make the first team. It just feels like they forced a few things out of a supposed fairness as opposed to picking the actual top players in the region.
Look a little closer at his numbers. Just sayin'
Biss and Armoni ... pretty close call there ... although Biss had a poor ending the last several games.

Also a defensible argument.
I was surprised to see Heath on the first team.
