When you stop and think about it, Cornell Basketball received a lot of good news during the offseason in recruiting and scheduling. Here is brief a recap of the news headlines for the Big Red since April:
- Cornell adds a talented eight person recruiting class, including five freshman and three transfers from Division I programs. Errick Peck, an athletic 6'6" freshman from Indianapolis earned MVP honors of the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star series. Peck led his team in scoring in all four of the Indiana All-Star team's games and received the MVP honors over players headed to Kentucky, Purdue, Indiana, NC State, Louisville and Georgetown, among other high profile programs. Mark Coury, a hard-nosed 6'9" transfer from Kentucky started 31 games for the Wildcats before joining Cornell. Max Groebe, a 6'4" sharpshooter comes to the Big Red from UMass. Anthony Gatlin, a surprise late transfer to the team, started 18 games during his career for Centenary College. Gatlin is 6'8" but has guard-like skills and can be compared in playing style to Gonzaga's Austin Daye.
- Cornell builds an exciting schedule highlighted by home games in Ithaca against Seton Hall of the Big East Conference and St. Joseph's of the Atlantic 10. Cornell also gets the chance to play a double-header at the Holiday Festival in Madison Square Garden (with Davidson, St. John's and Hofstra also participating) and it is anticipated that they will visit Kansas, Syracuse, Alabama, and La Salle. Additionally, Cornell heads to UMass as part of the Legends Classic.
