If VanderWal would become the next coach, does he bring his assistant and former Trine player Pete Smith with him?  Maybe Pete is even throwing his hat in the ring?

Really interesting timing on this one (which was shared on X around 5pm yesterday): 

Paxton Crane 6-7 F Ft Wayne Carroll (IN) will attend Trine

Quote from: TUAngola on April 16, 2025, 05:05:14 PMI am not shocked by this announcement.  Very happy for Coach Miller, he'll do well in his new position at CMU, he's in his prime coaching age, lots of HC experience, so now was the best time to move on when the right opportunity presented itself.  He put Trine MBB on the national map, culminating  with winning it all in 2024.  Now there is some clarity in the Nate Tucker portal news.  It's possible there will be more portal announcements.  Trine is in the same boat as Indiana...will be a whole new roster for the most part...albeit without all that NIL money.

With such a reduced amount of returning players, it would sure seem to leave a mostly "clean slate" for whoever becomes the new coach.  I wonder if that might be considered as a plus for some perspective coaches, and a negative for others. 

Deuce Weston II 5-10 PG Flint Carman- Ainsworth will attend Albion

Nate Tucker SR 6-5 G Trine is in the portal.  Nate was the 2nd leading sscorer for Trine - averaing 14.7 pts and 4.1 reb last season

Does this take into account the return of Jalen Overway or is he not included due to not playing this past season?  That changes the equation drastically one way or the other...

The calculations were based solely on this seasons statistics, so it does not include Jalen or any other  player who missed time or an entire season due to injury or other factors.
