Recruiting News

Below, some recruiting news from around the Ivy League.

TexasHoops.com reports that Jacoby Harrison, a 6'6" 245 lb. power forward from North Shore High School in Galena Park, Texas has a scholarship offer from Hartford and is receiving recruitment interest from Penn, Lamar, Liberty, Alabama, Marquette, Stanford, Tulsa and Wichita State, among others. He is a member of the class of 2011.

With Cornell's recruiting commitment over the weekend from Dominc Scelfo, the Big Red coaching staff is doing a great job filling future backcourt needs. The 6'3" Scelfo and 6'2" Jake Matthews are interchangeable guards. Both can play either point guard or shooting guard. Meanwhile, 6'6" Many Sahota fills a need on the wing.

Scelfo is comparable to Adam Gore, Chris Wroblewski or even Drew Housman. Probably not the best athlete you will see on the floor, Scelfo has a high basketball IQ and just knows where to position himself and his teammates. He is crafty with the basketball and rarely makes mistakes. He is one of the top long range shooters in Louisiana high school basketball and also has a knack for getting into the paint.

Mathews is comparable to a shorter version of Geoff Reeves, but reminds us even more of a former Penn standout, Andrew Toole. Matthews has a killer scoring instinct and just finds ways to get to the rim. He is also terrific on transition and possesses tremendous athleticism for an Ivy League player.

Sahota is a prototype small forward, capable of scoring from the outside, hitting a mid range shot off the dribble or screen, or finishing hard at the rim.

All three recruits are committed to defense and bring a passion for the game, which is self-evident every time they step onto the floor.

The additions of Scelfo, Mathews and Sahota raises Cornell's roster size to 14 players for the 2010-2011 season.
