Re: Iup basketball
Marko Krivacevic ... 6'9" Forward ... transfer from Duquesne ... will have one year at IUP.
Some notes from his Duquesne bio:
* First recruit to sign under Keith Dambrot
* Averaged 6 points and 4 boards for Hungary at the 2016 FIBA U20 Euro Championships
* Played for the Hungary U18 National team
Other notes:
* Wrist injury kept him out the first 7 games ...
* Played at Miami Dade prior to spending last season at Duquesne
* Can shoot the trey -- hit two three's in a 1:25 span to help Duquesne knock of George Washington
Interesting signing. This team will have some gigantic size.

That league really cannibalizes each other. The Arizona/ASU games were fantastic. Depending how things work out for Miller that (Hurley/Miller) could really become an intense rivalry (I know, ... it already is ... but bigger).
Agree about the Hurley-Miller rivalry. A couple of very good Eastern point guards back in the day who grew up with coaching fathers. They have always been fun to watch.

Re: Iup basketball
Joe talked last year about wanting to be up to (6) scholarship guards for this upcoming season. Assuming he is playing with 10 full rides it's possible. Dante is going for free so he's not taking up a spot.
As we've said, ... this is the 'all in' year.
Just for off-season talking purposes, assume they land Morrow. That's Morrow at SG, Dante at PG and Malik at the 2. Armoni is the backup (PG?). Based on that do they go for another scorer-type or does he bring in another Ayron Hutton defensive type (that Joe historically always has)?
Low post right now is: Keyes (6'10"), Willem (6'10"), Cobo (6'9"), Humphries (6'6") and Vaughns (6'5"). That's an extremely athletic post. It's vastly better than last season. Keyes gives them the scrappy defender. Humphries, athletically, is a massive upgrade as the second small forward.
Humphries, so it sounds, is going to play a hybrid role in a variety of positions. Cobo can also play numerous spots. Keyes and Willem will flip-flop with each other.
The last player will be a guard. I'm still pushing for Randy Bell -- add that last athletic, big, 6'5" SG.
Old Bravado just may have a real scary team come November.

Re: Iup basketball
That would put them at 4 guards then. Hopefully Morrow and Foster pan out then it could be tough to beat IUP.

Re: Iup basketball
IUP has offered Eckerd transfer Blake Morrow ... (6'4", 200 lb shooting guard from Sarasota, FL.). Eckerd is a strong program -- finishing 22-6 a year ago in a tough conference.
He also has offers from Flagler and Pittsburg State. He will have 2 years eligibility.
As a sophomore he played in 28 games and averaged 21 mpg -- hitting 40% on treys (109 attempts). He also hit 111-126 FTs (89%). He drew the second-most FTs on the team despite being a shooting guard and only playing 21 mpg. He was second on the team with 73 assists. Averaged 12.7 ppg. Strong numbers for a then-sophomore.
It appears this would be a pretty big land for Joe -- if he can get him.

ESPN is also infatuated with Gonzaga. I like to come home from the IUP game and it seems Gonzaga is on all the time. That's another great league to watch.

Apparently Hurley has a five-star recruit coming in this year. Maybe even some of Arizona's recruiting class that ran for the hills unless Miller can come up with some more assurance payola.

I guess you would want to go with more IUP colors. But it would be such an awesome look in my own opinion.
