According to the Ithaca Journal,

Recent Cornell University graduate Jeff Foote has landed a job in professional basketball.

The seven-foot center and Spencer-Van Etten High School graduate signed a three-year professional contract to play for Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv, Cornell announced Friday.

And Randy Wittman has signed in Massagno, Switzerland. I assume JTW has already ordered the uniform.

Ryan Wittman. Randy is his dad, the former coach of the Timberwolves.

How do you know that Randy didn't sign with Switzerland and that the problem with the post is that it shouldn't be in an alumni thread? Huh? How? Did you follow the link or something?

Things I do NOT love about Switzerland:  Massagno is 135 mi away, but getting there involves driving 235 miles - through 2 foreign countries.  I think I will not be catching any games.

6 hours and 2 changes.

I'm starting to think Geneva is not really part of Switzerland...

It's hard to get a train through Zermatt.  Travel time by car to Zurich was under 3 hours if I recall, but I'm guessing you have to take the train through Zurich to get to Massagno?

Along similar lines: Six games into the MLL season, Max Seibald and John Glynn are both among the scoring leaders.  Seibald, who plays for the Denver Outlaws, is tied for 7th with 13 goals, 2 two-point goals, and 5 assists for 20 points.  Glynn, of the Long Island Lizards, is tied for 24th with 6 goals and 5 assists for 11 points.  

The MLL All-Star Game will be played Thursday July 8th at 7pm at Harvard Stadium and televised on ESPN2; the game will be played between the MLL All-Stars and the US Men's National Team (most of whom also play in MLL).  After playing in the MLL ASG, the USMNT, which includes Seibald and Ryan McClay, will travel to Manchester, England, for the 2010 edition of the quadrennial FIL World Lacrosse Championships, starting July 15th.  The team will attempt to recapture a championship it won six times in a row from 1982-2002 before being defeated by Canada in 2006.

Maybe in our lifetime enough countries will take up lax that in can be an Olympic sport.

I missed the announcement at the time, but Kevin Boothe tore a pectoral muscle while working out back in May.  He was to have surgery and take four months to recover, putting him back in action at the end of September.  link

Yeah that is annoying, I wonder if Lin's parents are going to show up at the summer league games with their "Welcome to the Jeremy Lin show" t-shirts?
