The notion of Brandon to Michigan State per the above article really scares me.  MSU needs an experienced point guard and they just had a scholly open up with a transfer.  Word on the street (per message boards, so take it for what it is worth) is that MSU might not want to use this additional scholly this year so that they could use it for an additional recruit the year after next.  Bringing Brandon on the MSU team for one year would fill their need for an experienced point guard AND allow State to have an additional scholarship the year after next.  Also, at the present time, the only true point guard on State's team next year will be a true freshman.  This would mean that Brandon (if offered a scholly - which is pure conjecture at this point) would have a very good chance to start for a team is generally at the top of the heap in the Big 10 and usually makes very good runs in the NCAA tourney.  A good fit for all, except Valpo.  :-(

I met an alum who was representing Wheaton at a college fair.  If we are talking about the same Weaton, with about 900 all males, in southern Indiana, then it isn't happening.  This alum scoffed at the idea.

 Wabash College is all male, but not in southern IN.  Hanover is in southern IN, but not all male.  Wheaton College in IL still has a football team.  Wheaton College in MA does not.  

Ah, that makes more sense to me.  The program I am familiar with and the one I thought was being discussed was Wheaton College in Illinois.

Just throwing this out there, but do you think that Valpo might have any chance with Garrick Sherman the Michigan State Center that just left MSU's program?  Searching the internet a bit, it sounds like there might be some MAC schools on the radar for him (among many other spots he might land).  Also, interestingly, I saw a message board post (so please take it for what it is worth) that said his fiancee that attends IUPFW and he may want to stay close to her.

I may be dreaming here, but Sherman would be an absolutley perfect pick up for Valpo's program and we have been getting a lot of transfers similar to this in recent years.

From the sounds of it, Notre Dame is a likely landing point. According to the article, Butler is in the mix as well, though it doesn't sound likely.

Shoot!  Wishful thinking on my part.

Wow, that is a shocker, Wheaton generally has a pretty good program.
