In case you aren't ready the other thread, Tomiwa de-committed from Bryant today.

It ain't over yet. He's still on campus. Get him some money. Whatever it takes.

Very interesting.

Speaking of that, Tomiwa better be ready to roll. His new team has signed two other D1 small forwards since his signing.

It will be interesting to watch. I’m not so sure he’s not going to regret that decision.

Speaking of forwards, Romero-Sanz looks like he can shoot the three ball. To have two big guys capable of doing that with him and Ethan is going to be a nightmare to defend.

Hopefully these guys who have stayed in these programs for 6-7 years (or, some combination of programs) are at least leaving with a four-year degree.

I saw Fite signed the latest Sleva (this one is a guard).

Hadn't looked at the list recently, so didn't see that one. If he's anywhere near as good as the other two we have a player. Need to get some height, though.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Or one big year and just transfer up.

Sorry, I'm jaded.

IUP has signed SG Denzel Kabasele (6'4", 185 lbs) from Miles Community College (JUCO).

He played 37 mpg as a sophomore this past season and shot 43.7 percent from outside while averaging 14.8 ppg. He also had 130 rebounds from the guard position. Big, physical guard.

Miles CC is in Montana. Kabasele is from Lancaster, Pa. It appears, among others, IUP beat out Millersville and West Chester for his services. He will have two years in Indiana.

Looking at the salary cap:

My 'guess' is they have (8) equivalencies used -- possibly 8.25. Word is Joe has a full 10 this year.

I know for certain there is one more transfer post player close to signing. He will certainly be a 'full ride' signing. I still think there will be one more guard -- likely a freshman to redshirt (unless needed). That would about max it out for 23-24.

Of course, Joe will add a few walk-ons to round things out.

Goodness, how many are there?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

After a few years of seeing largely familiar lineups for many of the PSAC teams (extra Covid years, pre-transfer portal recruits, etc.), you really are going to need the program to know the personnel in the upcoming season.

Notes:

Expect another transfer guard to sign - possibly today. This is a player they went after very hard. They are also likely going to announce the signing of another power forward by the end of the week. From there, I'd suspect one more transfer guard and that should about max out the salary cap. The deep bench will then be filled in with some walk-ons.

Of the three signed recruits thus far, Clarke and Romero-Sanz are Day 1 starters. Watson will likely spend '23-'24 as the backup PG.

IUP signed its transfer post player today. Appears to be a one-year guy (possibly two).


Gabriel Romero-Sanz (6'8", 220 lbs) played last year in England (Bracknell and Wokingham College). He went for 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals in the CBL Finals.

Joe should have some fun with this guy. He actually played a combination of guard and forward, and should pair very nicely with Ethan Porterfield.


The other (or, rather, next) transfer guard they are anticipating to sign is set to announce this week. There is also one other post player they are targeting.

He's putting together a pretty talented roster. Hopefully they are all here this summer to start playing together.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

We have the return to weekend tournaments at IUP this coming season.


Tip-off:

Concord (Opening Night)
Alderson Broaddus


Thanksgiving:

St. Thomas Aquinas
Frostburg State


As usual, Pitt-Johnstown will attend both.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

The third transfer guard should be announced soon.
