Pictured above, Cornell's Jeff Foote is in his final year of eligibility during 2009-2010. Foote is a two-time Second Team All Ivy League selection and is the reigning Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year. Below, some recruiting news...The Saipan Tribune confirms that Australian, 6'6" wing, Sean Mullan will attend Penn and play for the Quakers. The article notes, "[Penn] dominated Ivy League basketball from 2005 to 2007 but have since given up the trophy to Cornell University."
While the talent level remains questionable, you certainly have to at least credit Penn's coaching staff with creating an interesting recruiting class for the team media guide. In addition to Mullan, Penn's class includes Malcolm Washington, the son of Academy Award winning actor, Denzel Washington, as well as Zach Gordon, a transfer from Division III Yeshiva University.
According to Five Boro Sports, Brown could potentially land a walk-on to its roster, a 5'8" guard from New York.
As for Cornell's recruiting, the low post is definitely an area of focus for the class of 2010. with the expected graduation of senior frontcourt players, Foote, Alex Tyler, Pete Reynolds, Jon Jaques, Marc Van Burck, and Andre Wilkins. And as usual, Cornell's recruiting presence is very strong in the upper midwest.
Out in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Cornell is giving hard looks at a couple of bigs in the paint Jake Kreuser is 6'11" and 220 from Mendota Heights and Sibley High School. He has scholarship offers to Santa Clara, Wisconsin-Green Bay and North Dakota State while also taking in interest from the Big Red. Meanwhile, 6'9" Trevor Gruis holds an offer from South Dakota State. Then there is Ryyan Duxbury, a 6-8 banger from Stillwater.
But the Big Red may be most interested in Dave Dudzinski, a 6'9" 230 lb. post from Kaneland, Illinois. Several scouting sites have reported that Cornell has extended an offer. Cornell has also reportedly offered Griffin McKenzie, a 6'9" 210 lb. forward from Cincinnati Moeller High School. Princeton, Loyola-Chicago and Western Michigan are Cornell's primary competitors for Dudzinski, while Miami (Ohio), Ohio U., Ball State, Wright State, and Harvard are also after McKenzie.
