For those unwilling to click further, the Cliff's Notes:

Anthony Nimani, 6-4 guard frpm Meriden CT, taking a PG year at the Berkshire School, arrives Cornell fall 2025. Two-time all-state, two-time Meriden (CT) Record-Journal POTY.

Quote from: Sean Krofssik, Record-JournalAlong with Cornell, Nimani also had offers from The Citadel (South Carolina) and Saint Michael's (Maine) and Lees-McRae College (North Carolina)

Okay, sounds as if we didn't steal him from UConn or Duke. But he's talented, players can grow under a good coach, and some of Cornell's Sweet Sixteen (2010) team arrived under the radar.

Coach Brian Earl is 74-95 after six seasons but the last two were 15-11 and 17-11. That's a good trend.

Never mind, Duke or UConn, didn't even steal him from Yale – no other IVY offers.
