Side note Cleve Wright signs his 4th recruit for next yr.
6'0 SG Gwen Smith out of Chicago areahttps://x.com/gwen_b_smith Comment

Gannon is going to lose a lot after this season. Cleve likes to build from the ground up. This player had some local D2 offers and a D3 from Ohio, but not much else. I don't think she was on a lot of teams' radar.Comment

A scouting service by the name of Premier Recruiting Services had this to say..........."Gannon got a STEAL! She is a really good player who could have easily been a D1 kid in my mind! Good spot. Good fit for all around. Congrats! One of my favorite players to watch."Originally posted by Bballfan View Post
Another service had similar remarks and she apparently was looking for a mid-major offer, but thought Gannon was a great fit for her. We shall see, but Clev has history on his side and he did make the comment that " we knocked it out of the ballpark with this recruiting class". Coach Wright usually a bit more conservative about his comments so it should be interesting next year.Comment

Still to lock in 4 recruits this early in D2 says something and predicated on his record, its all good.

Google says the enrollment is about 3,700 in the 9 to12 grades. Got to guess it's in one of the top classifications in the state of Illinois.Originally posted by Sec10-A-14 View PostComment

If she was a D1 kid she would have at least got some D1 offers. Time will tell of course. Cleve is a pretty good evaluator of talent.Originally posted by gman16506 View PostComment

After a tough shooting day yesterday at Cal(Pa), ESU brought defense to Slippery Rock yesterday and shut down the Rock in the 4th quarter. Brooke Droege had 21 points and 5 rebounds to lead the Warriors. Yesterday ESU went 20-63 from the floor, just under 32%. Today they went 27-58, 46.6%. They outscored Slippery Rock 21-9 in the 4th quarter. A great bounce-back win for ESU, who finished the crossover schedule 3-3.Comment

IUP women eeked out a couple wins this weekend with an average margin of victory of 37 points. They are now 12-0 and won’t realistically be challenged until January 17 when Gannon comes to Indiana, and then Edinboro four days later. No disrespect to UPJ or Slippery Rock, but neither have anywhere near enough firepower to make those games competitive this week.

Unfortunately (for IUP fans) the first IUP/GU meeting this year is in Erie.Originally posted by EyeoftheHawk View PostComment

As good as IUP is, you have to believe they’re going to take a couple losses in the very strong West. IUP, Gannon, Seton Hill, and even Cal are playing really well and Edinboro is good enough to steal one from any of these teams on a given night. I was surprised to see Cal lose at home to Kutztown over the weekend though. They’re oddly inconsistent.Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostComment

Cal is much more dangerous at home than away, which has always been the case. They definitely are inconsistent. Their handled Malone with ease (a top 25 team at the time and undefeated, Yet they lost to West Chester by almost 30 (a team that both Gannon and IUP beat by 30+).Comment

That West Chester loss is bizarre. I saw West Chester last week at IUP and they’re average at best and shouldn’t be beating anyone by that margin. Then Cal turns around and takes Ashland to overtime. Their recent loss to a decent Kutztown team was at home. It’s bizarre.Originally posted by Bballfan View PostComment

ESU defeats a Shepherd team that looks a lot different than last year. The Rams have some transfer talent, and they gave the Warriors a great battle. ESU got 26 from Brie Droege, 15 from Brooke Droege and another 12 from Lacie Kringe in the win. Senior Caitlin Marten had a career high 10 rebounds and 9 points as ESU outscored the Rams 20-9 in the 3rd quarter and 22-21 in the 4th.
ESU is in a 3-way tie for first as Bloomsburg comes to Koehler Fieldhouse Tuesday night.Comment

After this week’s results, it’s pretty clear that there’s IUP, Gannon, and then everyone else. Seton Hill, Edinboro, or even Cal could knock off IUP or Gannon on a given night, but there’s a visible gap there between the top two and the others. The top team in the East would probably finish fourth in the West and that’s not disrespecting the teams on that side. The West is just that strong this year.Comment
