Is that the big kid from Illinois?

Yep

[Ship69]

Yep

Having grown up in the Chicago area, I'm curious as to how Indiana got a kid from Orland Park. Do you know any of the details?

Why wouldn't any one jump at a chance to play for a D2 powerhouse? (Unless they've got Duke et al at the door lol)

UPJ is now the favorite with IUP losing Demo for the season. That kid was a more athletic, better player than Cobo.

LOL. So Indiana has a constant stream of Illinois players coming out to Pa.? I was just curious as to how the connection was made.

If you go back 25 years with IUP, the men's team has routinely brought in players from all over the country (and globe).

Joe coached at St. Bonaventure and Pitt prior to IUP. He has connections all over. It helps he has a lot of money to spend.

Hopefully Demo takes a medical redshirt and they start over next season. They'll still win some games this year but by and large the season is lost (as Joe all but said in the paper today).

OK, good enough. Great that he has connections and I know some PSAC coaches like to bring in a lot of transfers. Just haven't seen many Illinois kids on PSAC rosters. Somebody obviously reached out to him as I can assure you that most kids growing up in Illinois haven't heard much of anything about the PSAC, let alone IUP. Sounds as if he was a good player, and good luck the rest of your season without him.

Gary only recruited players from 'Saltsburg' ...


Say what you will about him ... But Gary had good teams here full of stud players. Legal or not ... History doesn't sweat the minor details. Lol.


Dennis Mims would have ate Cobo for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Rodney Horton may be the best guard in school history (aside from Jack Crossan).

I know he had his issues ... But those were some real good teams. I think even the football team was afraid of that 2001 team.

For the younger crowd, Jack Crossan was essentially IUP's Jimmy Chitwood (prior to the three-point shot).
