Robert Glenn: (SO) 6-foot-8 (200). The combo forward is receiving early interest from Austin Peay, Eastern Illinois and Evansville according to Sparks.

Tamas Cseh: (SO) 7-foot-0 (260) from Hungary. Cseh played last season at Frank Phillips College in Borger, TX.

Indiana State assistant coach Lou Gudino put Cseh nearby in Mount Carmel, IL. The 3rd year player DNP this past weekend for the Warriors since he was hurt. Tamas is currently averaging 4.1 ppg and 3 rebounds a night.
