Cleveland State Conducts Zoom with Coaching Legend

Word on the street is that Bob Huggins had an initial Zoom with Cleveland State this past Friday morning. The former West Virginia / K-State / Cincinnati / Akron head coach has been out of coaching since 2023. Obviously the other popular name here is Mizzou assistant (and former Cleveland State assistant) Rob Summers. He was part of the staff that had a ton of success at CSU under Dennis Gates.

No. 10 Allen Mukeba - Oakland Golden Grizzlies

14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists

Mukeba is an extraordinary athlete. Guys who are 6’6” tall should not be able to do the things he can do, especially when he is going up against guys who are much bigger than he is. Mukeba transferred to Oakland last year from Kansas City. He found a role at Oakland as a junkyard dog-type player, and he fits in perfectly with how head coach Greg Kampe plays.

The forward doesn’t shoot threes and will do all of his work in the paint. He was great on the pick-and-roll and executed quite a few lob plays for the Golden Grizzlies. He shot almost 60% from the floor, being a 6’6” forward. That is impressive. If you like physical, athletic, and big men who can defend and rebound, then Mukeba is the player for you.

CBI CHAMPIONSHIP

  • Not a particularly impressive performance last night from either finalist in Daytona Beach, as Cleveland State had to squeeze past a severely shorthanded FGCU team, and really only scored consistently at the FT line and the offensive glass. Illinois State meanwhile predictably couldn’t stay in front of UIW’s dribble penetration for the vast majority of the game and were outplayed everywhere except for Chase Walker’s paint production...
