Recruiting News

Below, some recruiting news from around the Ivy League..

If you haven't been following our regular recruiting news reports, you might be surprised to learn that Cornell already has a four person recruiting class in place for next season. The class is led by guard/forward 6'8" Anthony Gatlin, a transfer from Centenary College. The three freshmen in the class include Dominic Scelfo, a 6'2" pure point guard from New Orleans, Jake Matthews, an explosive 6'2" combo guard from Pittsburgh and 6'6" Many Sahota, a wiry and bouncy 6'6" wing from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. All three players received substantial Division I recruitment with Scelfo notably turning down scholarships from Conference USA and Atlantic 10 programs in order to play at Cornell.

In other recruiting news, the Chicago Tribune has a story on Maren Kukoc, a 6'6" wing from Highland Park High School in Illinois. Kukoc is the son of former Chicago Bull Toni Kukoc and is a former teammate of Cornell's Chris Wroblewski. Kukoc has visited several Ivy League schools including Cornell and Penn.

NBE Basketball Report reports that Majok Majok, a 6'8" forward from the Northfield Mount Hermon School plans to pick a future destination in December and is considering Harvard, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Providence, Virginia. Rumor has it that Majok's top choice is Harvard, but until he receives SAT scores suitable for admission, he is unable to commit. Several Ivies did not recruit Majok due to the uncertainty in his academic profile.
