Fever pipeline is strong...
Six of the former Fever members play at IPFW in James Till, Grant Welter, Mitch Falkenstern, Max Touloute, Brent Helton and Joe Stoffel.
Indiana, ranked No. 21 in the preseason poll, has three former Fever players in Cam Jordan, Nate Mitchell and Tim Wylie.
Others are Gavin Chura and Jesse Sharp, Evansville; Jacob Capito, Butler; Mark Weigand and Kegan Harkenrider, Denver; Nick Wilson, Michigan State; Reagan Perkey, Indiana Tech, and Jocelyn Evans, Grace.
“It definitely attracts talent,” Fever director Matt Chura said.
“When you have an event like this, the younger kids aspire to want to play at that level.”
Bronn Pfeiffer, assistant coach at IPFW and also a Fever director, agreed: “They get a little exposure to a higher level they normally don’t get to see. They get to watch IU every time they come up here; they’re the draw.”
The Fever program is for boys and girls ages 5 to 19.
