Until another Ivy League team finishes a college basketball season ranked in the top 25 and advances as deep as the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, Cornell's 2009-2010 team continues to remain the celebrated gold standard of Ivy League basketball in the modern era. Above, the starting five from the toast of America during 2010's March Madness. Below, some news and notes for Friday...
Above, the tweets of the day from the world of Cornell basketball on the twittersphere...- After Zastal of Poland's premier league, the PLK, announced the signing of 6'9" Phoenix Suns forward, Gani Lawal, Lawal's agent Andy Miller told the Tuscon Citizen, "They were looking for a forward to go next to (former Cornell center) Jeff Foote." Cornell's Foote (class of 2010) is in his first season with Zastal along with Ryan Wittman (Cornell '10).
- In stressing a need of more school spirit at Columbia, Jeremiah Sharf of the Columbia Spectator refers to the "Beat Cornell" T-Shirts passed out last season at the Big Red's game in Morningside Heights.
- Take this with a grain of salt, but student writer, Brian Kotloff of the Daily Pennsylvanian picks his Penn Quakers to finish in second place in the Ivy League. He also projects the Quakers' freshman, Greg Louis as a frontrunner for Ivy League Rookie of the Year. Kotloff writes, "Last year [the Rookie of the Year competition] brought us Miles Cartwright vs. Laurent Rivard, won by Rivard on a highly questionable judges’ decision. " Of course, Kotloff is incorrect. The Ivy League Rookie of the Year was won by Sean McGonagill of Brown. And of course, we told you McGonagill was the best guard long before he arrived in the Ivy League when we wrote on November 10, 2009, "By the way, we are hearing from a few sources that Brown recruit, Sean McGonagil is the best incoming guard in the Ivy League next year." In any event, Louis, an excellent recruit, did choose Penn over Tulane, which by the way, for the sake of some perspective, the Green Wave also offered scholarships to two Cornell freshmen, Dave Lamore and Dominick Scelfo.
- We hear that Cornell's Homecoming Weekend will be a huge recruiting weekend for the Big Red basketball program as several high profile recruits will be on campus to take in the football game and weekend festivities.
