HoriZone Roundtable

Bob talk with Matt Cox from Three Man Weave, who wrote about the Horizon League for The Almanac, a publication that features writers from Three Man Weave, Heat Check, Field of 68 and Verbal Commits. They discuss the season prospects for each team and how their rosters shake out.

In Part 2 of our annuals writer's forum, Bob, John, Kyle Rossi, Alec Kwait, Karic Jones, Nick Lorensen and Blake Schumaker continue their discussion of a variety of topics from the off-season in this Horizon League. They include the moves made by some of the women's teams, IUPUI's almost completely new roster, and the overall massive roster turnaround among the bottom half of the men's teams.

Bob and Matt welcome writers from horizoneroundtable.com for the 2022 edition of the Writer's Forum, including John Parker (@horizoneJohn), Kyle Rossi (@KyleHZRT), Karic Jones (@Karic_Jones), Nick Lorensen (@nlorensensports) and Blake Schumaker (@bschumakerRT). Among the topics discussed in Part 1 of this two-part forum are the new coaches on the women's side, Wright State's arrivals and departures, and what to expect from Oakland, Detroit Mercy and Milwaukee next season.

Bob speaks with new Cleveland State head coach Daniyal Robinson. Among the items they discuss are Robinson's relationship with Oklahoma coach Porter Moser, the current Vikings roster and the formation in 2020 of the Big 12 Black Assistant Coaches Alliance, which he played a key role in establishing as an assistant at Iowa State.

Bob and Matt, along with Horizon Boy, welcome back Oakland coach Greg Kampe to discuss his very productive off-season, among other things. They also talk with Golden Grizzlies point guard Jalen Moore about his expectations for the upcoming season.

Joel Whetzel (@JoelWhetzel), who covers Youngstown State for the Warren Tribune-Chronicle, joins Bob and Matt to talk about the Penguin men's and women's basketball teams, including the recent transfers, specifically former NKU forward Adrian Nelson, as well as the returnees and their chances to take the Horizon League next season.

Ben Sternberg (@souljabenny), the most notable member of Cleveland State's bench mob the last two seasons, joins Bob to talk about his time with the Vikings, as well as his playing days prior to CSU, as well as his future journey to Missouri, where he will join ex-Cleveland State head coach Dennis Gates, along with a host of other former CSU players and staff.

Bob and Matt are joined by Karic Jones, who discussed Antoine Davis' decision to return to Detroit Mercy for his extra year after being courted by multiple other schools, as well as the overall impact on the Titans squad. They are also joined by Kyle Rossi, who talked about the Detroit Mercy hire of ex-Loyola-Chicago women's head coach Kate Achter to helm the Titans, along with IUPUI's recent hire of Walsh University's Kate Bruce to take over for the departed Austin Parkinson.
