Good find Cub. His stats don’t really add up — according to this he averaged only 3 minutes a game, but 10 points and 6 rebounds. Probably an error in calculating minutes, I’ve seen that before. Not much of a shooter, but would provide another inside presence.

Clearly the core of next year’s team is going to be the returning juniors to be — Boyd, Stutzman, Moscan, Chivichyan. Now the coaching staff is looking to fill in the pieces around them, in particular in the post.
 
Balanced classes have never been a hallmark of ISU basketball. Players come and go. Few stay for a full four years.
 
We need to change that Skippy, there’s no reason that this group can’t stay together for the next two years. If we add to the sophomore class from last year and strengthen up the bench with support players why wouldn’t they alll want to come back for the Senior year.

That would awesome Hank. Uncharacteristic, but awesome.
 
Well Skippy, this is a new time for the Bengals its time we change the culture at Idaho State. This team will stay together and finish at the top of the conference next year and compete for the title when these players are seniors.

Looks and sounds like we just added to the defense and rebounding, I'm looking forward to watching the new additions play with the returning players. Now, does anyone know if the new signees are going to be on campus this summer. Hopefully they'll have the opportunity to practice as a TEAM, last year team chemistry was pretty good lets hope the new recruits will come in and add to what we had last year. I guess its good that all the new addition are post players, its a lot easier for them to pick up the offense playing in the post. I believe these players are going to really help us on defense and its going add depth to our bench.
