Here’s an interesting factoid, not about Sulaiman, but about IUP basketball. The Crimson Hawks avg’d 2,127 in attendance last season. That’s more than 5 CAA schools and only 125 a game less than us. It’s more than Drexel, Monmouth, NE, Hampton and Elon, and only 6 people less per game than DE. They weren’t far off of Hofstra or Stony Brook, or us. Only C of C, NCAT, UNCW and W&M were substantially ahead of them.

I agree, I don’t believe Rob has the connections with high school coaches in Florida the way Pete does. At the very least it’s different. Break from the status quo. Also, Rob seemed like a big meanie with his smug attitude and I know some high school coaches that didn’t like him for that. Pete seems like a nice guy and I like that vibe for the program. These gen x kids get offended and hop in the transfer portal without giving it a second thought. Gotta treat these kids with more respect or they will up and leave

I thought I laid out some of the specifics within the post itself i.e. expanding our recruiting geography, aggressive activity in the portal, qualified/experienced coaches.
