Pictured above, Cornell's Jeff Foote goes up for a shot against St. Joseph's last December in Philadelphia. The Big Red host St. Joe's during the 2009-2010 season in Ithaca. Below, some recruiting news around the Ivy League.New England Recruiting Report announced the commitment yesterday of 6'7" forward John Daniels to Columbia. Daniels graduated from New Hampton Prep in New Hampshire which produced three Ivy League recruits in the last two seasons. Daniels also considered Colgate.
Here is an unusual transfer story with an Ivy twist. Jeff Peterson, a rising junior point guard from the University of Iowa announced his intentions to transfer last month. Peterson originally committed to attend Princeton three years ago during his senior season at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland. But Peterson ultimately reopened his recruitment before the late signing period and instead opted to attend Iowa on scholarship. When Peterson announced his intent to transfer last month after two years in Iowa City, some speculated that he might transfer to an Ivy League or Patriot League school or even to Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. where he grew up. Instead, Peterson seems intent on staying at a BCS level school. Sources are reporting that Peterson is visiting the University of Arkansas this weekend.
The Sunflower Slate blog of the Wichita Eagle/Kansas.com mentioned The Cornell Basketball's Blog's reference yesterday to former Cornell basketball prospect, Dylan Frantz of Phillipsburg, Kansas. They write:
Sunflower Slate has gone national — our post on Phillipsburg’s Dylan Frantz got picked up on a Cornell (that’s in NY, people) basketball blog. So we’re shining on the East Coast. Gotta love Cornell … one of my all-time fave authors, Thomas Pynchon, went to school there, and so did his homeboy Richard Farina. Imagine those two, circa 1958, taking a writing class from Vladimir Nabokov? Man.
