A month or so ago, WIU lost an assistant coach as Chuck Ruffing left to take an assistant's job at Iowa State. I've seen nothing officially as to who his replacement will be but in the staff directory, it lists Lorenzo Watkins as an assistant coach, I'm assuming this is the same Lorenzo Watkins that was the head coach at Southeastern CC (IA), who resigned from that position in June. If true seems like a big addition to the basketball program.

Yes, that's exactly who that is and a great hire by Coach Boudreau.

Great hire. A great basketball mind and even better person. Boudreau was Watkins' assistant at Indian Hills in the early 2000's

I wonder what the over/under date is for posting a roster for the upcoming season?   Chad is slower than Coach Mo and that is slow.  BTW, Coach Mo has moved on to Old Dominion from BC.
Embrace the pace of the race.

No doubt!!  I mean they want us to buy season tickets to a team nobody knows lol..from the pics on X ive been able to piece together about 9-10 of the guys on the roster but looks to me like we are missing one, maybe two that verbal commits had as committed and a couple that I have no idea who they are..
