Sure. And they aren't the ones getting off the bus and playing a game after a six hour drive.

... or getting up for an 8 am Thursday class after getting back to campus at 4 am.

Senior year highlights for future Eph Jovan Jones, who looks like he will be a fun player to watch:

If Williams can figure out a few distributing guards to set the table next year, fans are going to be treated to a lot of thunderous finishes between Karp, Heskett, Scadlock, Jones (if he sees much time as a frosh) and Marc Taylor (if he can break into a very crowded frontcourt), all of whom can really dunk it with authority.

Looks like a good one(shooting and mobility) for Amherst; there were 2 bigger opponents on that mix tape - one 3 inches taller and 1 80 pounds heavier - I'll have to check them out later  .

My father-in-law played baseball(catcher) for Schretter's Ridgewood High; his pitcher was Johnny Van der Meer, the only pitcher in MLB with back-to-back no-hitters.

Stick to the pros, my man!

He only took the WashU announcement. While you will have to believe me, we've been sitting on the news.

Ha. Sorry. Bad link-sharing etiquette....

Another Scarsdale guard headed to Middlebury, following a path blazed by Ben Rudin, Kyle Dudley, Max Bosco (plus Eastchester's Jack Daly, though I've been told never to conflate the two locales!)...

Or, he could move down the road a few hours and take the NYU job.

They will have a new gym next season and everything.

One Wesleyan recruit that I don't believe has been mentioned before here is Shackylle Dezonie from Hudson Catholic in NJ.  He had modest stats as a role player for one of the best teams in the country (they have three guys going to high-level D1 programs), so hard to say what his potential is, but he could be interesting.  Wesleyan seems to get a lot of strong recruits from the Philly-NJ-NYC corridor (Austin Hutcherson, Salim Green, Jordan Sears, Antone Walker).

Congratulations to Duncan Robinson on his Wolverines making it to the Final Four! Duncan has now bookended his college career, with final four appearances in his freshman year, Williams (D3), and senior year, Michigan (D1). He is certainly the only college player to ever do that!

Yep, and they are FF bound due largely to him!  UM was up only 56-54 with 20-something seconds to go when DR hit two FTs.  FSU then missed a shot with 20 to go and UM rebounded.  Despite UM in general being a horrible FT-shooting team, the Seminoles, down only 4 with 20 to go, did not foul.  All I could figure is that Duncan intimidated them, and they just decided to surrender with grace.

Only #11 seed Loyola stands between them and the title game.  IF they can beat Cinderella, Duncan gets his second chance at a title - may it go better than the first!

[JEFFFAN]

Kudos to Robinson for a very clutch performance.  Hit a three and two free throws, plus had a big rebound at the end.  Terrific story.
