Best wishes to these two young men - thanks for your contributions to the team and the community! While I always root for our guys - never really thought they were D1 material.

Tay'Shawn is a 4 Star - pretty excited about him.
Joey Farthing out of Dover could be real solid... he is the reigning D1 high jump champ.

Joe Groeber - OL - 6'3 330lbs from University of Cincinnati. I believe he has 1 year left of eligibility.

Hopefully we see some more pipeline from UC to YSU in the future!

with the transition occurring with the Miami Dolphins... it would be cool if DP could find a role for Curt Kuntz (former Struthers HC). Having that NFL experience and being able to connect some dots at the next level could be helpful with recruits/transfers. Bring him home!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Beeghly Center Renovations

« on: January 04, 2022, 12:44:40 PM »

The Business Journal wrote a follow up on this on Dec. 30.

Looks like the athletic department is being selective with the proposed renovations and will need to raise $1.5 million to decrease the number of chairback seats along the sides of the basketball court and replace the wooden bleachers on the upper level. Under the plan, the chairbacks would be moved back from the court and gain more legroom. Courtside seating would be added. Capacity would be shrunk from 6,000 to the 4,000s.

Big win this afternoon for the women and sit at the top in the Horizon League. Cleveland State was, frankly, disgraceful. If you haven't checked the women out - you're missing out! They deserve our support!

The women beat Point Park 87-41 this afternoon - and had 16 steals! They are a lot of fun to watch and have multiple players who can contribute. Looking forward to conference play!
