Sit one, play two?

Should be immediately eligible since he was at junior college.

From skunk flower to roses. This could be the best job of spring cleaning this program has ever done.

OK now we have added some freshmen, transfer(s) going and coming....where does the roster stand for the coming season?  Who will be on picture for the 2019-20 season?   It sure has been a wild off season...are we done yet as far as additions go?  Next season could be very interesting for us and all around the MVC.

[valpo64]

Who is on first...?

[M]

Here's what I've got - feel free to correct what I've missed on

1 year left: Ryan Fazekas, John Kizer
2 years left: Eron Gordan, Micah Bradford*, Nick Robinson, Zion Morgan, Mileek McMillian
3 years left: Daniel Sackey
4 years left: Donovan Clay, Sigurd Lorange, Ben Krikke, Emil Freese-Vielin

[valpo64]

Missed the Ash signing...isn't he the kid from Northwestern?

[crusader05]

Did we offically get Ash?

[valpo64]

Thanks for the update, "M"

[vu72]

That means Jordan Ash is out (I'm guessing!)  Need to add a big now!

I believe you need to remove Ash and for now put Bradford on the list with a question mark.

So size wise we currently go 6'11", 6'8", 6'7", 6'7",6'7", 6'5", 6'5", 6'4",6'3", 6'2",5'11", 5'10".

Yes you're right...I misread the Ash part on verbal commits. I will update my original post.

[VU2014]

Some good quotes in here. He sounds like a very confident kid.

[VU2014]

Is Sackey referring to Bakari?

[vusupporter]

Given Sackey wore 4 in HS and has 4 in his Twitter handle, I'm guessing that means he wears #4 next year.

[valpolaw]

Zion sounds like a good get. Hopefully this means our marijuana bandit is gone now. Maybe this spring cleaning will be a good change of pace with fresh and hungry guys.

Transfergate is going to be a blessing in disguise.

[VUGrad1314]

God I hope you're right... I really do... As much as I complain and get angry about the state of the program I cannot and never would actually go away forever. I love my school and this team too much. Go Valpo! Hopefully we've got a hungry and talented group that can contend in the Valley!

Agreed to a degree but losing both centers was tough because of the amount of inexperience it left us. If Sorolla would have stayed we'd be in a better spot than currently.

[4throwfan]

I kinda get why the others left, but Sorrolla is a little confusing to me.  Was there ever an explanation on him?  If he's headed back to Europe, then I understand.
But if he transfers to another D1, that seems odd.  Apologies if I missed some obvious news on this.  That's the one that suggested to me that there was some problem with the program.

Gotta give credit where credit's due. Matt and the rest of the staff have done an amazing job of retooling - practically overnight. Zion is the icing on the cake.

[elephtheria47]

The talent wasnt there. Is it there now? Tbd. But we have/had a chance to improve.  I think the core is there. Ideally we land a solid big yet and iirc we have one spot open yet. Regardless of the immediate season, we could be onto something in 2 seasons.

[ARCInsider]

What am I missing here?  There's a lot of talk about the team being re-tooled overnight and seemingly improved.  I just don't see it--I think we have taken huge steps backwards.  I want the team to be great and if we needed a culture change, ok, but what has been done that has you guys thinking positively here?

I'll also need convincing on this newly assembled team.  We don't have a serviceable PF or C...Mileek flat out sucks if he can't play minutes without fouling.  He's a huge disappointment because he's the last big standing and has done zilch in two years.
