Dan Filippone enters transfer portal.
Clearly Coach Chapman has no control over the program as the mass exodus from the Montgomery regime has continued.

Never even heard this name before. Does he even get any playing time?

This is a repeat of Brandon Danowski——the 16th man on a 15 man roster......probably hustles in practice, gets run over setting picks on the scout squad and will go to some 1,000 student NAIA program in a city we’ve never heard of and be the 12th man on a 23 man roster.

A coach's son whose coach isn't at NIU. Good luck at Benedictine or UW Parkside.

He appears to have been a baller at Antioch Community High School.

There is really no one on roster who is indispensable. Geno not on team

I actually agree with this.

I like Hankerson, Cochran, and Beane but if any of them left, I wouldn't worry about any of them.

Honestly, losing Cochran would probably upset me the most. For one, he's a sophomore and second, I think he's a true leader and a guy who will run though a wall to win a game.

This is exactly what I've gained from the few times I've seen him, which is just in pre-game warm-ups.

He seems to be well liked and has a good time out there. I'm guessing, like you, he is a capable body in practice and the guys respect him for it.

I mean...he's a walk-on and a pretty un-impressive looking one. I remember someone here tried to hype him up when he signed on to play. I did a write up on him and was honest...which was that I thought he was going to be the last guy on the bench, kinda like Danowski (although, I think Filippone is better than Danowski was).

With that said...yeah...good luck. But he doesn't strike me as a guy who's betting on hoops to be his meal ticket. None of the walk-ons ever strike me that way, tbh.

Really wouldn’t be surprised if the whole roster turns over when we get a new coach. Our basketball program is a dumpster fire.

I don't know how and I can't explain it. But this is somehow Carey's fault.

As an Antioch alumnus as well, sad to see a former Sequoit leave the program, he could roll out of bed and attend UW Parkside.

Any clue on why he chose NIU to begin with?

I'd figure if it was the school that had whatever program he wanted to major in, it made sense to walk-on. But he never had a shot at playing any meaningful minutes at NIU so I wonder what his motivations were. Unless he just wanted to give it a go.

Like you said, he can play at D-II, III or NAIA so I'm not sure if he got bad advice or just wanted to try it out. If nothing else, I'm sure he got much better just practicing at NIU so it may have actually been to his advantage to do it for a year and a half and then transfer. But then, it maybe messes with his academics (not including the amount of time and effort it takes to just be a walk-on with the practice and travel schedule).

Anyway, not that I expect you to know. Just curious if, being an alum, you had heard anything (not that its actually any of my business).

Did not have much D-I interest and thought he could come into a situation and get some PT on a down program. He campaigned so hard for an offer that just wasn't there.

Montgomery must have had him in as a guest speaker for a pep talk.03-banghead

Monty had to take what he could get. We’re any of the JC players the best one on their team?

Who? Oh, yeah the token white guy on the end of the bench. Ya might think just for the sake of diversity NIU would make a real effort to keep him around! I'm beginning to suspect the word diversity is a code word meaning something else.
Oh well, we will certainly not miss his playing time.
Now what is the deal with Keenon Cole?

Elduderino, token white guy? Monty had plenty of white guys on his teams. Monty just like Michigan St. has always had white guys on their teams. I think what you meant was the women’s program seems to have a limit of 3-4 black players at a time.

Facts are facts. You arguing against the obvious irrefutable reality is laughable.
And then, AND THEN, you drop the race card clearly insinuating the women's program is racist because ONLY "3-4 black players"!!!! Wow.
NOW really 'I'm beginning to suspect the word diversity is a code word meaning something else'.

Guy, you need help. This is the second time YOU'VE pulled the race card. In another thread, you questioned the NIU athletics future success, as long as Sean keeps making "woke" hires.

Get help man.
