He's tall and athletic, and that is what we need. I am not sure if he's the guy I want playing 30+ minutes a game though, unless he improves his shot. Hope he gets to Evansville soon and starts working out and getting ready for the season ahead.
USI still needs a center(or two)...I am very hopefull we will have another signing by next weekend.

Claflin was one of the schools mentioned and the coach there liked his tweet. Maybe he’s not the guy 🤷♂️.

I have to admit I was hoping for Tahlik Chavez to be the guy signing. For sure, we need some length in the lineup for sure. But Tahlik would made an impact here, and he and Martin together could keep USI competitive in a lot of games.

Will be interesting to see where Ola Ajiboye goes...he has a nice choice of schools that have shown interest. Bet he would find more minutes here than anywhere else he would go. Sorry to keep repeating myself. I admit my bias, but besides the NCAA bid, there is little else that other schools could offer him that USI could not top.

Chavez is visiting LA Tech today, which is pretty big time. Think we can scratch him off the list.

The fact he made USI's final five makes me believe he is looking at his choice from a variety of angles. Obviously he would get a lot of minutes here, but I think their may be other factors involved. We will see soon enough.

Hampton offered Causwell today…

Hampton offered Causwell today… I respect the conference in which Hampton plays, The Big South...same one where Tahlic Chavez played. The Pirates went 8-24 last season and finished next to last. Perhaps Casuwell just wants out of the OVC and would like to play against other teams out East. Hampton has been pretty bad the the last couple of years, but have had some good teams, having played in NCAA tournament 6 times and have a 2 - 6 record. Hampton, Virginia is a nice area of the country. That is probably where he will go, for certainly he would have committed to USI by now if that is where he wanted to attend. To my knowledge, USI was the only team offering him up until now. I'd still be fine getting Ellington or Agee.

Valpo having a great recruiting year Not sure I would go to Valpo if I were him. I think he will struggle there and with a new coaching staff I think they will recruit over him. I think he probably wanted to stay closer to Michigan which is his decision and it is what it is. Would have been good for us, but there are better still available.
