Just to put this injury into context for those who really don't follow the basketball team or its recruiting efforts--- below is the news story from Rivals.com the day Gant made his verbal to Cornell. Gant was getting pursuit from some biger basketball schools, but was only interested in academic powers. He was expected to take official visits to Stanford and Notre Dame-- but ended the process early by choosing Cornell. His commitment was supposed to be a major step towards turning Cornell into THE basketball team of the Ivy League.
