Some scoring stats and other Valley news

Here are the scoring averages for the top returning players in the Missouri Valley...(figures are the overall scoring avg. of last year or their most recent season)

Josh Young - Drake 15.4
Osiris Eldridge - ISU 14.0
Harry Marshall - InSU 13.6 (actually did NOT play enough games to qualify in league scoring for 2008-2009)
Andrew Warren - BU 13.2
Sam Maniscalco - BU 12.6
P'Allen Stinnett - CU 12.5
Kevin Dillard - SIU 12.2
Adam Koch - UNI 12.1
Kwadzo Ahelegbe - UNI 11.8
Clevin Hannah - WSU 11.2
Rashad Reed - InSU 11.0
Toure' Murry - WSU 11.0
Lloyd Phillips - ISU 10.6
Carlton Fay - SIU 10.4
Kyle Weems - MSU 10.2
Jordan Eglseder - UNI 10.2
Dodie Dunson - BU 10.1
Ali Farokhmanesh - UNI 9.6
JT Durley - WSU 8.9
Chris Roberts - BU 8.7
Dinma Odiakosa - ISU 8.7
Kenny Lawson - CU 8.5

Only Bradley and UNI have 4 players whose scoring averages place them among the leaders.
I am even hopeful that both Eddren McCain and Taylor Brown can show improved enough scoring to end up among th eleaders this season.

Emerging reports that just a week before his 21st birthday, one of the SIU players may have gotten a DUI....here is the Salukitalk discussion about it...

...then the coach appears to have banned all the players from any local drinking establishment...interesting! Wow, can you imagine the local financial impact had that happened in Bloomington?? ;)

Yet another shady "package deal" where a coach hires a special assistant of an extra assistant for a made-up spot just to land more top recruits.

another reason why recruiting 8th graders has a down side...
Billy Gillispie went after and landed a verbal from Dakota Euton (among others) while the kid was still an 8th grader...but since then, not only has Gillispie been fired at Kentucky, and new coach Calipari doesn't want Euton, and on top of that, the kid's stock has taken a dive as he's fail to "pan out". So now it looks like the kid's gonna go from being a Top-10 nationally ranked UK recruit to likely ending up at a low-mid-major like Eastern kentucky.
