Ran across this dribbling drill on Twitter that 2023 Guard Dino Cook was working on. If I recall correctly, I think he is visiting soon.

To vufan75 and VU2014,
I've long noticed that you diligently track recruiting activity and share current developments here on the board. I've also observed that when a prospect tweets about a visit or an offer, you often add something complimentary about the men's basketball program and the university for the prospect to consider. Great job of demonstrating fan and school loyalty at the highest level! Thank you.

Couldn't they put a giant circle with a back slash through the circle over the word Crusaders on the sign in Hilltop gym to signify that Valpo is no longer the Crusaders?

On my resume, can I no longer claim that I was a Crusader Scholarship recipient?

You should put the circle with the back slash through the word Crusader on your resume.

If you're concerned that the word Crusader might offend someone, it won't. Of course, that doesn't mean someone won't say they find it offensive.

Presuming that you're not looking for your first job, you might want to edit your resume' and drop off references to scholarships.

Yes, it was a joke ;).  I hire people for a living.

I don't really understand this point. Just because something doesn't offend you doesn't mean it won't offend someone else. I used to think it was silly for anyone to say they were bothered by the mascot, but then I listened to the people that were offended by it. While I might not agree with their thoughts on it, who am I to tell them they're wrong? I think anyone offended by Kaepernick kneeling for the anthem is out of their minds, but that doesn't mean they're not offended.

Get used to the name. Hailing from Valpo South, Luther Smith is a shoe-in future Beacon.

Hailing from Valpo, Farrell will, of course, be going elsewhere.

Who is the last Valpo native we've successfully recruited to Valpo Basketball (discounting Steven Helm who was a preferred walk-on and had a very unique situation).

Many native want to leave town. Sounds like he a great skill set

I once visited Culver on a business trip and I and a friend went through Culver Academies. We talked to the ice rink maintenance guy, who lived in a Chicago suburb, told us that he once ran into the First Lady of Mexico in the Culver Walmart because the son of the President of Mexico decided to attend Culver Academies. He, the Steinbrenners, who own the Yankees, Evan Bayh. Hal Holbrook, Josh Logan III, Roger Penske and Gene Siskel all attended Culver Academies.

Odd that we would offer a 4 star recruit that already has multiple power 5 offers and this late in the game. I wonder if there is some sort of connection there that makes the coaching staff think we have a chance.

All Coaching Staffs target or identify some moon shot recruits. I don't mind it as long as we are spending most of our time on realistic recruits as well. You also never know, if the kid transfers. Time spent now may pay dividends down the road.

Kobe King and Joe Hedstrom were recruited by Valpo out of high school. Trevor Anderson was heavily recruited when he decided to leave Green Bay but chose Wisconsin. Dividends may have paid off there.

A couple of my students saw them eating at Mother Road Market down the street from Tulsa University campus on old Route 66.
