Re: Iup basketball
Looking at the film, he might be an exaggerated 6'10" and it looks like he likes to hang out away from the hoop.

Ousmane Diop 6'10" transfer from Niagra, originally from Senegal.
Finally another big for IUP, hopefully he's game ready.
I believe he's our first player from Senegal since Badou Kane.

He's a big boy ... not just tall and skinny. He's got some muscle.
Appears he took a redshirt last year so he should have four years at IUP.

Fairmont will be above .500 ... I don't see much more than that, however.
Calhoun may wanna his job back soon.

I'm fairly certain they are playing Virginia State, Bowie State and Fairmont State. That's enough. The rest can be creampuffs.
But ... they won't be. Not Joe's style.

Re: Iup basketball
One-time IUP assistant coach Tray Woodall is headed to Joe's old stomping grounds in Allegany, New York. (If you want to talk about doing more with less, Mark Schmidt at St. Bonaventure has quietly done a really good job. There's not exactly a ton of money coming into that program comparable to other D-I and A-10 schools.)
From Jon Rothstein: "Sources: St. Bonaventure's Mark Schmidt will hire Robert Morris' Trayvon Woodall as an assistant coach. Former Pitt PG."

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostI still think they find the money to add a Day 1 post player and then redshirt Porterfield and either K.J. Rhodes or Bryce Radford (or maybe all three of them). They can only redshirt Radford and/or Rhodes if Joe is comfortable with Anthony White being the fifth guard -- which he may very well be.
While it would be a pleasant surprise to see a deep bench, well, ... I think we all know better by now.
As for that 'four guards and Chucky' starting lineup ... yeah, I agree it may sound better than it actually is. I do think it would be an interesting tool to keep in the mix. You could run that 'line change' a few times here and there. The sheer speed and athleticism would really create havoc.
Lot of excitement around town (in the small basketball circles). I can tell you that much. It's kind of a new era post-Dante/Cobo. Nothing against them but seeing a new lineup will be exciting. This can be a really explosive offense and very strong defensive team. I'd sure like one more, ready-to-play big, however.
I also hope the big guy doesn't go too crazy with the non-conference schedule. West Liberty isn't going to lose many games next season. If they have any hopes of hosting again they can probably only lose 2-3 games max.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostHearing from a good source they are heavily toying with the four-guards and Chucky starting lineup.
Also, the roster may not be as finalized as we thought. Stay tuned.

Originally posted by PSACfan1 View PostThe wise guys in Vegas have shared the following guidance with me:
Clarion Hoops to finish to tops in PSAC West at +10000000 odds.
SRU Football at +9 wins.
Realistically I think the house would hold the line at 50:1 to limit their exposure on what would probably be a really small handle.Last edited by boatcapt; 06-08-2019, 02:59 PM.
