Geez, 7'0" and 190?

Have you not seen him previously?

And he can shoot the three...and he can block shots...and he can handle the ball. He will likely be a Porzingas type player (hopefully without the injuries), but he could be better than that.

I have not.  Just the Texan with the fun mustache that also plays at Gonzaga (Drew Timme).

95  - Evansville is hurting financially, but they have traditionally had a more supportive fan base than at Valpo. Not a potshot at all, Valpo basketball is currently in a apathetic state.

It is still a cheap shot.

[usc4valpo]

No, Evansville cares more about basketball. Think about the location of the school and the entertainment options. I gotta give the new AD and the school credit for being bold. That may be a pot shot but it's reality.

You saw no Gonzaga games this past season?

Would have been kind of difficult to ignore Holmgren if you're watching games involving Timme.

Future Valpo Coach. Saying it now. Either Jake or Roger Powell. https://twitter.com/ohiostatehoops/status/1522228994019536899?s=21&t=xG42Wu0CRuQFT3HZiwUfQg

If it were going to be Roger Powell he would have accepted the job when Bryce left. The fact that he went with him to Vanderbilt and then on to Gonzaga tells me that Powell has bigger jobs than Valpo on his mind. Diebler MIGHT be gettable and would be a good fit but even that isn't a given.

No Gonzaga games this year.  Just Timme from last season.

Are you more of a Valpo Basketball fan and not college basketball fan? I say that because someone who was a fan of the sport beyond Valpo would have almost had to intentionally avoided seeing Gonzaga.

I used to think the same thing, but Paul Oren has mentioned Roger turned it down because he thought he wasn't ready to be a head coach at the time. If offered now, I'm not sure he'd turn it down. He's in a good spot with Gonzaga but being the lead man of program is enticing for anyone.

Point taken but who's to say that he isn't the coach in waiting in Spokane as Few's successor?

I'd say there is a longer line as the successor to Few. It ain't just a few. :-) :-(
