The basketball blog guy says that next year's recruiting class was almost entirely put together by Courtney, Donahue had little to do with it

Thanks. Gawd, I love this forum. Where else can you get authoritative, civil replies to uncertain comments? I wish national politics were this sensible.

OTOH, is it me or is the basketball blog at the end of the link above virtually unreadable?

Not totally unexpected.  Graduating for starters and a 6th man from last year that accounted for 72% of the scoring I knew they would be bad, but not this bad.  Hopefully Courtney has a good recruiting class coming in.

Next year's recruiting class is probably the best we have had on paper for many years but we will see how it ends up, pretty impressive considering that Courtney only had a few months to put it together

I thought several of these guys had been recruited by Coach D.

Even if Donahue initiated contact (and I don't know if he did or didn't), Courtney would have had to convince them to stick with the program after Donahue bolted. I'm pretty sure that the Ivies don't have letters of intent.

yeah no letters of intent, only verbals

Even if they did, a coaching change gives the recruit an out.

Hahahahahaha. No, it does not.

(Edit: Because there was confusion, I should clarify. I am mocking the idea that the National Letter of Intent would in any way benefit the player, not that David was incorrect about it.)

Why is the blog unreadable?

Sure the blog guy probably brings up the Harvard recruiting violations too much and probably took Cormier's quote about Lin too far but hell it is Harvard and Hahvard SUCKS

Plus he gets a lot of recruiting info and makes finding articles and info about the basketball team easy by putting it all into one site

I haven't checked in for a while but: very little original content, just cut and pastes from every single article that mentions Cornell Basketball.

there is little original content but it is easier to check his site that always looking around on the internet for articles plus he posts a lot of recruiting information that is not easily available anywhere else

To be fair, Philly does have Penn State.

Different worlds.  Penn State is in Pennsyltucky.  Philadelphia is in New Jersey.

Heh! If this line is yours, you should be warming up for Ugarte, or vice versa. I didn't count but I think you're also close to a haiku. Actually, two over (I realized there's an app for that).

I meant because of the color scheme. Maybe it's my computer, browser, or eyes, but I can't read the page at the end of the original link. OTOH, I'm able to read the Cornell Basketball Blog quite well when I link directly to its home page.

Not a good day for a team very much on the bubble. Probably NIT-bound.

[phillysportsfan]

Yeah ugly game, they came out with no energy and were down 17-3 early, had no energy, should be in the NIT

[Greenberg '97]

Ivy League and Donahue NIT double-header tonight:

Harvard vs. Oklahoma State, 7:30 ESPN
McNeese State vs. Boston College, 9:00 ESPNU

Edit: I see this is already discussed on the general hoops thread.

[phillysportsfan]

BC destroys Mcneese St on the road because BC had some hockey conflict, Reggie Jackson wasnt too happy about it in the post game interview, hopefully he doesnt leave early for the NBA draft next year even though there will probably be a lockout

Harvard one and done in the postseason again as OK St beats them by 17
