Hasn't been "official" yet but sources have indicated that Demetrius Moore has transferred (closer to home, FL) and that Ind st has picked up a shooter (Badly needed) in Grant Prusator. He's a Juco transfer and will have 3 years of eligibilty. Also Austin Etherington IS considering coming to Ind st to play with his bro. Ind st does have 1 more scholarship so either Austin will grab it or Ind st will pick up somebody else maybe. Will update when more information is provided or released.

Evansville has added Jucos PG Stafford and PF Wiley to either push for starting spots or to add depth.

If these jucos are as good as advertised, UE could have a really solid team next season. I'm not expecting a whole lot from the Villanova transfer.

I think these two adds are exactly what Evansville needs provided Stafford (who looks similar to Bobby Hunter) can run the point. Having two scoring options from the perimeter and a legit forward to play along side Mock should fill the gap.

Well, nobody has seen Mislav play a single minute, so we don't know what to expect. His freshman year at Villanova produced 41 minutes, and 2 points, so I am going to wait to see how good he is. Some of these foreign players take a full season, or more, to settle down, and feel comfortable with their game. It will be interesting to see how he progresses.

This year's UE team was desperately short on firepower beyond 15 ft. I think both Brzoja and Stafford will be able to help with that. Even if both of them are only 4ppg/8 mpg type of players, that's an option the Aces will have that they did not have this season.

I'm impressed. Evansville could be pretty strong next year with a three guard lineup. Still seems like they need more of a facilitating PG, but improvement is improvement.

If Mock progresses and at least Wiley provides good minutes, things look promising there. Hopefully Marty runs a more balanced offense.

Watched Brzoja a few years ago in a prep all-star game.
I really liked his game; not overly quick but innovative with the ball.

Seldom used Frosh SG Ptacek is leaving UE. Scholarship players now at 13, although, it has been speculated that Blake Simmons will convert to a 'walk on' status.

So, right where he should be? I kid....

How do others feel about these types of walk-ons? I generally think it's fishy, but have decided that I have no problem with it if it is the son of the head coach. Even in the cases where it is being done 'improperly', at least the school had to really sell-out to buy the recruit.

I think you really start getting into sketchville when you're talking about assistant coaches and director of operations types.
