Evansville is HUGE! They are way bigger than us. Great first half, very entertaining. Williamson WILL be a star for us if we can keep him.

I don't think that I paid attention to such a thing when I was at Valpo, but does Valpo also entertain Professors from other schools that are doing a 'residency' at Valpo? I don't remember if he referred to it as a residency, but when I was doing my MBA at TCU 15-16 years back, one of my Economics Professors had mentioned that he was staff at some Ivy League school, but was essentially on loan to TCU for a few semesters.

The level of interest in the Women's team has dropped off the cliff. Attendance so far this season is averaging a little over 300 while Volleyball drew an average of a little over 500. That's all about winning, or at least putting a competitive product on the floor.
Right now our "five out" strategy is getting out-rebounded by 10 a game and our 3 point shooting stands at 29%. It's not going to work.
Hard to gauge attendance thus far. The team has played two regular-season home games. One of them came during Thanksgiving break and the other came on Reading Day. The team will have played 10 of their first 12 games away from home. Then four straight home games.

The Jackson twins are legit dawgs. I hope they stick around in a potential coaching change, as they have a bright future. Both of them remind me of Jenna Stangler from my time on campus, as being very lanky/still getting used to their longer limbs, but very skilled at their current age. If they stick around for 4 years, Valpo will do well in years 3 and 4. Raeven Raye-Redmond has some potential, as well, since she has a nose for finding the ball on defense. I don't quite understand her lack of play for the bulk of the season (maybe lacking a consistent shot at this time), as she is definitely a spark plug when inserted into the lineup. When Jill Harris was healthy, we were fairly competitive, so I look forward to her return, if she will do so this year?

On probably the only positive note: two of the top three VU scorers were first years. And a great angle is that those two are identical twins! From Ft. Wayne even.
Quote from: JD24 on December 30, 2023, 09:57:25 AMHitting the portal is great but my concern is more hanging on to the players who may be contributors...and in some cases such as Schwieger and Williamson....major contributors. I can just as easily see them leaving as I can see other players joining.

DeViero has taken the most shots, made none, missed his free throw, has turnover already...when are coaches going t o figure out he cannot shoot consistently or hit anything are at decent rate? He continues to be a big offensive liability. I think we should be playing someone who at least is somewhat of a offensive threat. We really lack offense.

No live internet feed to watch the game?

The "interim" thing is interesting to me. I'm wondering if perhaps this guy was about to retire and was approached to cover for the University until a permanent person was selected. I don't recall any other new head coaches being given the title of "Interim".
The rapid and unexplained exit of the previous coach really left the program in trouble as it was the very beginning of the season. Seems like this is just a stop gap measure, though he seems eminently qualified for the job.
But... And... If ... you go to the Indiana Tech Bowling web page, their new head coach is an "interim" head coach too who just took over this season.
And so the mystery continues.

Maybe Lual will be the big we are looking
for?
Our luck with project centers and injury prone players has not been great. If healthy how long will it take him to mature into an impact player? Will his recovery and maturity match with our other competitive timetables? As scholarships become available where will Roger focus?
Quote from: crusadermoe on December 11, 2023, 01:02:21 PMam also curious as to what number of white males currently serve as President of either our Ivy League elite large endowment private schools, or high-ranking flagships? I don't have a count, but it seems like every time I turn around the president of a college i see has a woman and/or minority president. I fully applaud the appointments when the candidates are equally qualified.
