News and Notes


Below, some news and notes...
  • In evaluating Alabama's performance to date, the Bleacher Report references Cornell and notes, "The Tide came into the season with some high expectations and came out of the gate with a loss to Ivy League Cornell. Currently they sit at 4-2 overall. The Tide lost recently to Florida State, but it does appear they could move up into the lower top of the conference and make a push for the big dance. They have three quality wins over Baylor, Providence, and Michigan to their credit so far this season."
  • The Daily Pennsylvanian comments on the recent decommitments of a pair of Penn recruits:

Some bad news has dampened the sunny forecast of this recruiting season for Glen Miller and the men’s basketball team. According to ESPN/Scouts Inc., California forward Kevin Panzer of Capistrano High School has decommitted from Penn. Panzer’s decision was reportedly made in the last few days. In addition, fellow Golden State product Austin Kelly, a guard from Harvard-Westlake, apparently also has de-committed, making his choice for personal reasons back in September, according to the Cornell Basketball Blog. However, according to ESPN Kelly is still committed, since he’s listed as one of the six remaining Penn commits:

NAME | POS | HT | WT | SCHOOL | RANK | GRADE | STATUS NOTES
Miles Cartwright | Shooting Guard | 6′3″ | 160 | Loyola H.S. (CA ) | Shooting Guard #48 | 90 | Verbal
Dau Jok | Shooting Guard | 6′3″ | 170 | Theodore Roosevelt H.S. (IA) | Shooting Guard #172 | 80 | Verbal
Casey James | Point Guard | 6′2″ | 170 | Capistrano Valley Christian H.S. (CA) | Point Guard #150 76 Verbal
Cameron Gunter | Power Forward | 6′8″ | — | Ridley H.S. (PA ) | Power Forward #224 | 75 | Verbal
Austin Kelly | Shooting Guard | 6′2″ | 170 | Harvard-Westlake School (CA) | Shooting Guard #251 | 74 | Verbal
Steve Rennard | Point Guard | 6′1″ | 170 | St. Joseph H.S. (NJ ) | Point Guard #191 | 70 | Verbal

have no information yet — nor does anyone else to my knowledge — on why Panzer (and possibly Kelly) decommitted. The CBB report simply meant Kelly’s decision was unrelated to Panzer’s. While I think Penn can deal with the loss of Kelly — one talented guard among a slew of impressive swingmen on Miller’s radar — the loss of Panzer will hurt badly. He was the best offensive big man that demonstrated a serious interest in Penn, and one of the prizes of the entire class. After the Quakers missed out on 7-footer Ugo Okam, who committed to Harvard, they had just one big man besides Panzer. And Cameron Gunter’s defense needed the complementary offense of the talented Panzer, who had rejected scholarship offers from Gonzaga and Colorado. Panzer was the most exciting recruit in my opinion besides Miles Cartwright and maybe Dau Jok. I can’t begin to imagine what Glen Miller is going through with an 0-4 team and now a significant hole in his recruiting class.
