Cornell basketball coaching search

[upprdeck]

why was there any cornell will call line at all?  its an hour away they could have easily moved the tickets to ithaca where the majority of the people were coming from and let the rest come back to syracuse before the box office opened that day.. many people like me just bought them online and printed them.

Cornell basketball bringing in a single recruit for this fall.

The lone recruit: Josh Warren, who brings something that can't be coached: He's 6-foot-8. http://www.cornellbigred.com/news/2016/6/29/warren-joins-big-red-mens-basketball-this-fall.aspx

I think Earl will also want to re-think the recruiting based on the system he'll use.  Kind of makes sense to bring in more recruits next year once he has a season in hand.

I believe the only other recruit was Jerry Ben -- someone posted on the Cornell Basketball Blog Forum that he'd heard some time ago that Ben wasn't coming to Cornell, but he didn't know why.

Guess we'll see what Brian Earl can do inheriting a 3-11 Ivy team, with only a single recruit.

Well if he can institute any semblance of an offensive or defensive scheme, I'd say .500 or so

Looks like he's doing a prep school year. Source says he's committed to Cornell for 2017.

Ben is an interesting recruit.  He is from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and is fairly new to basketball; he played soccer almost exclusively as a child. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/high-school/2015/05/15/high-school-sports-new-haven-innocent-nwoko-jerry-ben/27350201/  An extra year at prep school is probably a very good thing athletically and couldn't hurt academically.  Still, if he really improves and starts getting interest from power conferences, you have to worry that the commitment holds.  (That's not a slam on Ben, just the reality of the recruiting game.)

Considering how hot the seat was under BC last season, a small class is not a surprise.
