Also, somebody help me out here.   After this season the average age of the college athlete should drop, right?    Or is next year the last year for COVID extra eligibility?   It is a tough time to be a freshman right now.   This team would be doing better 5 years ago when they were not encountering as many 5th or 6th year seniors.   Just a thought.   


Next season is the last. We have two that are eligible, Connor and Palm.

I agree, we started running clock to early, then were forced to take late shots that were not in normal good rhythm. I hate it when teams play not to lose.   Play to win.
Don't take your foot off the gas and hope to coast to a win. Slam the foot down and drive away.

Quote from: vok22 on October 25, 2023, 08:49:52 AMJust wondering if there be an over/under episode on the podcast before the year begins?



I for one would love to hear one, but honestly how can you come up with any stats when there is nothing to go on? It would be a huge challenge.

There's over a hundred, I believe

Who are the 4 returning players?  Barrett, Palm, DeAveiro and ?

Only those three are returning. Everyone else is going to be new.

Quote from: valpo64 on June 01, 2023, 02:23:55 PMDoes anyone have a list of our "committed" roster players for this coming season?  And also, do we still have offers out on which we have not received a final decision for this coming season?

Darn, I'm already down here excited to see them play.



Quote from: Pgmado on May 16, 2023, 05:59:06 PMI believe Valpo was out of the tournament even when the old coaching staff was still intact. Not sure what is happening now, but don't go booking trips to Gulf Coast.

The kid (Kaspar) looks good on tape and has decent size 6'7". Seems to be flying under the radar as he has no profile or mention on Verbal Commits.

There is no real estate listing or sales record of Luke selling or listing his home. So unless he sold it for cash to someone off the street, He and his family is still there.
Quote from: historyman on April 11, 2023, 07:44:55 AMI've heard through rumors that Luke Gore has sold his house, almost immediately, and is looking for employment in other areas of the country.

I'll be making some phone calls but won't be able to name sources.
This is not to say they are not thinking of doing it or are perhaps preparing in anticipation of (it would make sense to prepare). I'm Just saying not at this moment in time it's been done (house sold)

Had high hopes for Cam. He seemed to be a good 3 point and overall scorer, based on his high school career and the (20 minutes or so) of playing time at Valpo. Now we will never know.

Think it's an ESPN problem. A couple of other games are not streaming that should be. Including Bradley
