Nine suits and twelve uniforms. It looks like the detectives and the patrolmen in the Hollywood Police Department or the mafia and their pros taking the dough for fixing games.  8)

There is a player wearing #44 while no player on the roster is listed as #44, but there is also no #10 in the picture (which is listed as Rossi's number).

Back row, first uniformed student from the right is #10, Alex Rossi. It may appear that the number is something other than #10, it is #10.

I believe that David Chadwick is wearing #44 although he is listed as #32. That is my best recollection from his height and appearance from what I remember from the open practice.

Tommy Kurth is back row, in a suit, second from the left. I don't know the other two in suits who are not listed. I'm sure there is someone in the athletic dept who could help out.

When you compare last year's team to this one you can only think positive about the potential. Last year Kevin was our tallest player (yeah, we had Vucic but...) and then came a thin Richie Edwards.  This year we add two guys at 6'9"-6'10" and both at 240#?? Wow!  At the guard spot we lose a skinny Jay Harris and gain bigger, tougher players who can apparently shoot as well or better.  Nice...

Based on his picture, Dority looks like he is built like a brick wall, especially for a guard!

After seeing him at the game and around campus, that's a pretty accurate assessment valpotx.

Also, I think it should be noted that Vashil has put on 20 pounds since the beginning of last season according to the roster.  :thumbsup:

Is it just me or does Chadwick sort of look like Josh Saviano? The guy who played Paul Pfeiffer on the Wonder Years.

Glad to see Nick Shelton in the picture--good to see a four year walk on who had to pay his own way get to reap the benefit of putting in all of that time now as a part of the staff.

There may be other benefits to hanging around Valpo.  Nick's girlfriend is on the volleyball team.   ;)

vu72, it says at the bottom of the roster page that Nick is a Graduate Manager, so I don't think that's the same as being "part of the staff"? The other "suits" that probably aren't familiar would be the undergrad managers, who don't usually get website accolades, but if anything recognition in the online media guide, if there is one this year.

no insider info here, but at least at one point he was dating Mary Dent. BTW, this is not private information, it is what is posted on Facebook.
