Holy cow. Drake just picked up a guy that put up 17 PPG in the Big West.

Drake still has 4 more scholarships to fill....that starting line-up could change.

Redbirds put together a pretty solid recruiting class and look like they have some depth (on paper) for the first time in a while.

Their final scholarship goes Monmouth xfer, 6'7, 240 (7'3 wingspan) Miles Foster. He's an old school power forward than you don't see anymore at his size. Plays through the paint and makes his money on the boards. He was a 12/7 guy last year with close to 3 offensive rebounds per game. I like the way he gets after it on the glass.

Miles completed the '23 class that includes freshman: PG Johnny Kinziger (Mr. Basketball, Wisconsin), F- Chase Walker (6'9, 280- started his final year of high school around 340), G Ty Pence (final three were ILST, Belmont, and Wake Forrest), Dalton Banks (SIU xfer, pg), Brandon Lieb 7'1 out of Illannoy, and Jordan Davis 6'4 Wisconsin xfer.

I've been pretty consistent with my expectations since Pedon came in. First year ('22-23) is building the foundation (Burford, Kasubke, Poindexter and keeping Lewis "core 4"), next season ('23-24) be middle of the pack and competitive with the top of the league and win a game (or two) at the Arch, and finally '24-25 compete for the league title. Depending on how quickly these guys jell, find and accept their roles, who knows. Maybe they surprise some people.

Happy to have the roster set so I can unfollow all of the portal accounts on twitter and get my timeline back.

Ty Pence is a really solid basketball player. You're going to like him at Illinois State.

I believe he started as a true frosh at UIW, so will have three years of eligibility left.

Drake still has no depth at this point. If they can pick up 1-2 more good players with their remaining scholarships (which I think we probably all expect them to), then they will solidify that starting lineup with some quality off the bench and they'll be right back at the top.

Not doubting you, but based it on what I read on Twitter.

He was a freshman last year, he will be a sophomore this coming year. Has three years remaining.

Is this good news or bad for SIU? Not trying to be a smart@!!. My first thought was UIWho? Didn't SIU need some better news than this?

[SalukiWorld]

He's decent and has 3 years of eligibility and had Drake after him. Overall though, think SIU will be a bottom 5 team.
