David Joplin committed to Texas. Felt like more of a lotto ticket offer but it narrows down the current list of offers.

Guys I'm really watching are Chris Mantis and Cade Meyer. I'm sure the staff are recruiting some other guys really hard as well.

More and more kids are committing every day now. There is a great deal of uncertainty in these HS seniors basketball season. It wouldn't shock me if more guys committed earlier, especially if there is a modest chance of no high school season being played.

Was really hoping he would commit to Valpo. Can't win them all.

Green Bay?  Maybe he isn't as good as advertised.  The Horizon League is a dumpster fire.  They had 40 kids transfer while the Valley had 26. Several programs with at least five transfers. Maybe a girlfriend goes there.

I think he's going to be a really good player. It have been an issue of wanting to stay close to home. Disappointing we couldn't beat our Green Bay.

It could be multiple reasons. Idk. Disappointing though.

Could it be that he knows Jacob and recognizes that he would be playing behind him for several years? Seems to me that they are similar size and skill set, may be wrong but it could boil down to playing time, who knows.

Bears fans have been saying that for a long time now.

It has to be a playing time or closer to home thing.  Green Bay?

Lest we forget Green Bay isn't exactly a bad program. I was hoping we'd get him too but as mentioned before with the presence of Ognacevic minutes may be hard to come by at his position. That and playing close to home are big pulls just look at Javon with his decision to transfer.

I don't think it was a matter of distance between Valpo and Green Bay in Cade's decision. Being from Monroe it is about 180 - 185 miles distance to Valpo or Green Bay. I'm going with the playing time, staying in his home town State or a dozen other factors. He had several other offers he declined too. Now being in the Valley I just think we have a hard time thinking anyone would turn us down and go to the Horizon.

I was really pulling for him to come to Valpo and thought we had a good chance to get him with his close connection with Palesse. Still hoping to get Mantis on board.

Really glad to see VU putting more effort into recruiting athletes from the region. I hope it pays off. NO MORE QUASI HOME GAMES FOR DRAKE!

We really need a scene of us being an awesome team as a member of the Valley... The NIT memories are nice but they are a bit dated for recruiting purposes. Hope it's coming soon! Go Valpo!

Sam Vinson may be a point guard from Highland High School in Fort Thomas, Kentucky.  It appears he is one of the leading scorers in the state.

Ah the Loyola upset... My favorite MVC memory...


The half court shot (which is what I think is the second one) is really close behind. I was at that game. It was awesome. I bet the people who left when ISUr was up 10 with like 1:44 left really regret having done so.

I would counter that they are GLAD that they missed it.  Can you imagine watching that unfold, when you are a fan of the side that blew it?

I was referring to the second picture in that second part which was if I'm not mistaken Markus Golder's Half Court winner against ISUr in the 2018-2019 MVC Opener (or home opener I forget if we played a road game first that year or not). Of course we were glad Loyola missed their half court attempt at Arch Madness.

For Rowdy's shot against Green Bay in the last seconds of the Horizon League tournament I was supposed to be on the road back to Indy but just couldn't leave. I watched Rowdy hit the shot from just inside the doors that enter on to the track and opposite the entrance to Hilltop. After the shot went in I scampered through the door down the stairs and out the outside doors ran to my car and got out to US 30 west to I-65 and on my way to Indy as quickly as possible.
