Men's Basketball 24-25

I don't know if this story has a paywall, but there was a nice article about Anthony Nimani, a guard from Connecticut who will play at Cornell next season.
Nimani, a 6-foot-4 guard with a good handle, deep range and the ability to drive, adapted quickly to play in the highest division of the New England Prep School Athletic Conference. Four games in, he put up 31 points against Tabor Academy.
"I want to be able to be a big impact since Day 1 at Cornell and just be able to impact the basketball team, just help them win and see myself grow as a player and a person, too, and hopefully in the future I can play pro basketball."

Thanks!

This is nice. He sounds like a student. And athlete.

One problem about profiles of good HS/prep players as they pick a college is, you have no idea if he'll barely hang on, be a starter, or be a real star. Let's hope Nimani is the real deal.

AJ Labeau, a 7-foot center from Idaho who redshirted at Washington State as a freshman preferred walk-on is transferring to Cornell. Out of HS he had D1 offers from Idaho State, Air Force, and Army. Always intriguing to get someone of that size on the roster, and perhaps he blossoms into a good Ivy League player. Certainly having more size up front is useful.

Nice to have some size coming in the front court! If he redshirted at WSU, does he have 4 years or 3 years of eligibility left?

Our last 7-footer, a transfer, helped get us to the Sweet Sixteen and Jeff Foote then made it to the NBA, briefly, in 2014.

One of the all-time best Coach Witticisms is "You can't coach height."

He would have 4 years of NCAA eligibility left, but how that translates to Cornell I don’t know.

well if he changes majors it would help him not graduate in 4 yrs
