Kanter has committed to play at Xavier. I believe his older brother, Enes, went to Ohio St but was not eligible to play. Maybe the family has some kind of Ohio connection?

Mark Alstork from Wright State has declared for the NBA draft but won't sign an agent

Having watched every single game the kid has played at the collegiate level, there is no chance he is pro-ready. Not sure why he decided this year was the time to do it since his stock really couldn't be that high (he only started for 6 weeks with up and down results). Maybe eventually he projects out but not right now. If he wants to go, that's his choice, however, I really don't see how this benefits him. Not signing with an agent is a curious choice, too. You would think if he were that confident that he would sign with someone. Maybe there is a bigger story here, but as of a few days ago, Linc gave an interview and mentioned Kerem as the guy to watch for next year in terms of impact, so this surely comes as a surprise to him. We have to play the waiting game now, I guess, this is far from over.

Figured we should start a thread to post any relevant transfers to our program. We all obviously know about Lexus, most have heard about Fazekas leaving Providence.
New transfer news: Per Jon Rothstein, Kanter is graduating and transferring from Green Bay. Pretty significant.

He's been the best player on the court in the last two games (Crown Point and Chesterton).
Just took a look at the his highlights from the last few games and he looks expressive. Nice euro-step, quick, agile, and can get to the rim. Didn't see a great looking jump shot though. Needs to develop a jump shoot if he really want succeed at the next level. Only a sophomore though.
Highlight clips if you want to take a quick look: http://www.hudl.com/profile/6329578/brandon-newman
Wouldn't be a bad idea for the coaching staff to start building a relationship with the guy to potentially gain a recruiting advantage down the road.
Only thing is that he's a hometown kid. A lot of times kids want to leave for college and get away from their parents and family. Could be an advantage or a disadvantage I guess depending on the kid. Also Northwest Indiana is weird. Native Indiana people tend to gravitate towards Purdue, IU and Notre Dame, because of the generational history of those schools athletics programs, etc. There are a lot of Valparaiso University fans in Valpo but not as much as you'd think there should be because the loyalty to Purdue, IU and ND run strong in Indiana.

Good story about UIC in today's Chicago Tribune. Includes some positive comments about Peters.

A little about Alec. A lot about their injury situation, including dressing a manager last game so they'd have eight in uniform.
A related question, which came up in a discussion of the Jubril situation, are student managers paid? Sometimes? Usually? Never? Sort of an internship deal? I suppose if you're paying them you couldn't put them in a uniform. But, student athletes certainly work campus jobs, including at other sporting events: baseball players working concessions, soccer players checking tickets, track athletes acting as ball boys at soccer games.

I think the video of Parker Hazen was from last year. The Columbia City team of this year is TERRIBLE! On at least 2 occasions Hazen has had only 2 or 3 total points per game. Last night I believe he had 3. Is he hurt? I think his team has only won 1 game this year. I'm not saying that he is not a good find, but just wondering what is going on with him so far this year. Perhaps someone could check out his stats for this season.

Just so we can ponder some of the alchemy employed in the early ranking systems I'll throw out a few comparative numbers.
Warren Nollen Sagarine Pomeroy
Oakland 136 85 130
Vanderbilt 110 68 70
Alabama 143 73 73
BYU 185 72 60
Rhode Island 58 50 42
Valpo 55 78 74
These look to be updated for all of the Tuesday Nov 29'th action. Too early for anything to mean much but already some significant puzzlements.

We haven't beaten a ranked team at home in 28 years. To be fair, there haven't been that many opportunities, but it's been 28 years nonetheless. I think the URI fan is right about our lack of depth generally. If no one steps up and we get very little quality minutes from the bench, it's going to be a long night, and you can look for that near three decade streak to continue.
Draw contact, go to the line, hit free throws. Draw contact, go to the line, hit free throws. Draw contact, go to the line, hit free throws.

Can't complain too much about a win over a Power 5 team, but I'll try:
I know they had the size advantage on us, but it sure seemed to me like we gave them a TON of second looks.
Alabama had a few possessions where they snuck one of their big guys down to the baseline behind our 2-3 zone and fed him for an easy bucket. If it happens once I get it, but they had three or four baskets that way.

I believe that was a retweet from Burton. That's not him from what pictures I've seen. Also, Burton is right handed.

Perhaps this is the year Davidson sees regular minutes.

It'll be interesting to see if Lottich continues the point-forward trend. I'd be happy seeing our point guards given a shot to play point guard and having Shane stay at the 3.

I would think being the head coach of Valpo would be a better gig than an assistant at Vandy. I wonder the salary difference.
