Nice to see two guards from Brooklyn on the list
Not that I really know anything, but I think it's a solid Ivy caliber recruiting class. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Penn seem to be recruiting at a higher level than we are, but I think Earl is bringing in good enough players for us to be reasonably competitive.

Just need to bring in more front court size in future classes.

Agreed, that's been the weak spot. Hansen is the only "big" in this class at 6'9" and I don't know if he's a true inside guy.
Agreed-The issue is that teams the last few years have been able drive the ball inside. Without size it is tough to have good interior defense. I am sure Earl and staff have tried to address it recruiting-wise but without much success.
Saw Cornell added two hoops recruits. Today there was an announcement of Guy Ragland, Jr., a 6-8 PF from Thomas More School. And sometime over the past few months -- time has lost meaning -- Brian Earl responded to Ken's complaints by signing a 6-10 center out of San Jose in Ryan Kiachian. Neither have other offers of note, at least according to Verbal Commits, but I'll look forward to watching them play. If we every play again.

Both guys do have a few other D1 offers, so I imagine they would have picked up more had they delayed their commitments. From their tape they both look like they have versatile games, and both bring much needed size to the program as you mention.
We can at least dream about a season.

Can't. Coach. Height.
Cornell finally signed some size in 6'9" 210 C Ryan Kiachian.
