After what I have to say is among the most incredible three weeks in recent offseason program history, the lineup, staff and overall program looks suddenly, potentially very solid.
Let's review:
5/1- Muller fills vacant assistant coaching opening with University of North Dakota HC, Brian Jones.
5/8- Matt Hein graduates and transfers from program.
5/13- Chris Duhon resigns and is replaced with Indiana St Ast HC, Marcus Belcher
5/14- Harouna Sissoko (2* 6'7'' SF) signs with 4 years of eligibility
5/17- Antonio Reeves (3* 6'4'' SG) signs with ISU. Reeves is widely known as the best player on Chicago Simeon's 2018-19 roster and is a 4A All State selection. ISU's first Simeon signing since Kenyon Smith in 2009.
5/18- Ricky Torres (JC 6'2'' PG) transfers from WSU to ISU. Was a first team 2017-18 JC All American at PG.
Now lets add this into the following of what we already have:
Guards:
D. Boyd (JR?)
Z. Copeland (SR)
J. Hillsman (R-SR)
M. Chastain (JR)
Forwards:
K. Fisher (JR)
A. Ndaiye (R- FR)
T. Bruninga (R-SO)
R. Idowu (SO)
I think you have yourself a SQUAD here and, even though I have not seen them, I want to assume they will play better team ball than MY's tenure here. None of these guys are on NBA radars, and that is, IMO a very good thing. There won't be any showing off. I expect lots of passing and defense plus a much increased shooting percentage.
I, for one, am now REALLY excited to see how this goes.
