Congrats to Vashil. I've had the pleasure of speaking with him a few times and he has always been a fine ambassador for Valpo.

Watching HGTV with my wife this morning and it was good to find former assistant coach Will Phipps with his wife and daughters buying and renovating a house in Waco on Chip and Joanna Gaines' Fixer Upper. Will, a Texas native who attended Baylor as a student, apparently is Executive Director and President of the Greater Waco Sports Commission. The episode will be rerun Sept. 4 & Sept. 13, or if you have On Demand I guess you can watch it anytime.

Interesting side note that Chip Gaines was on my brother's HS baseball team :)

Would love to know what kind of shenanigans Chip pulled on teammates or in practice.

Yep its Jordan Coleman. He's playing competitively overseas. This was in a tournament over in Australia I believe.

Its a smaller tournament called the Big V in Melbourne.

Good to see that both KVW and Jubril will be getting strong minutes for their team.  KVW was 2/4 on 3's!! :o

Yeah I don't remember Kevin ever stepping back beyond the arc and shooting 3s for us. His bread & butter was his motor and being in the post. Maybe he added that element to his game after he graduated.

AP is looking good and ready for the Suns up coming pre-season. Looks like he was back home in Central Illinois this weekend.

Side Note: also pictured is Taylor Bruninga who Valpo flirted with in recruitment but never ended offering. He took an unofficial last year and he was at one of valpo's games. He eventually signed with Illinois State. I'm hoping that one doesn't turn into a "the one that got away" situation with us being in the same Conference. There was a rumor that he really liked Valpo but never got an offer. He and Alec played on the same AAU team and their family's are close. Somewhat similar measurables and games. Both around 6'8"-6'9" stretch 4s who have great jump shots. AP has a better frame, imo which helps when operating in the post. Although Taylor handles the ball better for a guy that size. (Former PG his FR/So yrs. he had a major growth spurt in High School). Just something I'll be watch for during Conference play.

I don't see a #23 on their roster, so he COULD switch back... if he wanted to...

I think his days of recognizing Jubril's plight are past (if that is what you mean).  Both are on to professional careers in their own right.

Interesting article suggesting Alec could see time with the Suns as soon as the start of the season:
https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2017/9/23/16347874/dont-expect-mike-james-and-alec-peters-to-head-straight-to-the-g-league-phoenix-suns

For Alec Peters, Alan Williams' knee injury makes it even more likely that Peters could join the Suns rather than the NAZ at the beginning of the season, although that decision is also going to depend on how well he plays in preseason. With Alan possibly out of the rotation for several months, Peters could be needed as a third power forward especially if Marquese Chriss or Dragan Bender need to be pressed into extended service at the 5 spot at some point. With a soon to be 35 year old Tyson Chandler and the often inconsistent Alex Len now the Suns' main options at center, don't be surprised if Earl Watson turns to Chriss or Bender to play center more often in certain situations. Even if both Chandler and Len play well, a simple sprained ankle to either on any given night could create an instant need for another big in the rotation that Peters could fill.
