Wow...he had talent when he was here.  Glad to see he had a great game.

I didn't even notice the first time that he scored his 32 points in only 25 minutes.  Even more impressive!

Why didn't it work out?  I don't even remember...

Yep, not sure why it didn't work out at Valpo, but I always thought he was a talent. I re-read my old posts on the old forum and it seemed like he wasn't happy at Valpo. I am glad he found a landing spot and is having some success.

Wasn't he a part of the freshman class that included Logan Jones?  There was quite a bit of turmoil that year (chemistry problems on the court and other problems off the court), most of which involved Jones in one way or another.

man, i wish i knew all the background stories on these issues.  not like in a gossip sense, but in a "Lost" "how did we get here?" kind of sense. all i'm really privy to is the Arden Skoglund situation.

Yep Haskins was part of that class and that forgettable season. Too bad he couldn't have stuck it out. Good for him and it's worked out fine for VU too.

*and thanks for the Logan Jones flashback...quite possibly the worst D1 player I've seen to date. I am still trying to erase that from my mind. Ha ha.

Nice game...   

Doesn't always work out.  That's why we have a very impressive group of transfers into Valpo right now...

He put up 19 pts and 6 reb vs. Illinois last night, though they lost.
