I heard that Normal (IL) Community H.S. PG Kevin Bischoff committed to Wash U recently.  Bischoff made the Pantagraph All-Area team...

Bischoff was pursued by a lot of Division III schools.  I think it's fair to say the most aggressive, outside of Wash U, was Augustana.  Chicago was on him as well.

Wash U lost a stud recruit to NAIA Lindenwood - 6-6 center Garrett Reeg from Oakville H.S. in the St. Louis area.  Reeg was named 1st Team all-state in Missouri Class 5 (the largest class in Mo).  I saw him play this year and he reminded me a little of Troy Ruths.

6-1 PG Alan Aboona of Chicago area H.S. St. Viator has committed to Wash U...

Aboona was named to the Daily Herald's Northwest all-area team...

Wash U has added two good PG recruits this week in Aboona and Kevin Bischoff.  St. Louis U High PG Tim Cooney committed a couple months ago...Cooney is more of a combo guard.

Don't be surprised if Aboona starts at the point next year as a freshman.

Wow. Did not realize about the loss of those two players due to transfer. They are key ingredients and I will have to amend my conference projections accordingly.

For what it's worth, some of the players that were leaving U of R may be coming back with the coaching change.  They include Moncrief and Serles, but last I heard several, including one starter, will spend first semester at sea.  I suppose anything and everything can still change.

An Alum is heading back to Rochester! Is Luke ready for the challenge, UAA is not Skidmore

I think Luke's experience at Amherst will help in that regard.

FYI, NYU transfer.  I think the comment that he has to sit out must be a mistake ... St. Micahel's is D-II so he should be a contributor right away at NYU. 

Vermont Native Transferring to NYU

Sam Cieplicki, a Vermont native who played for St. Michael's College of the Northeast-10 for the last two years will transfer to New York University where he will play out the final two years of his eligibility after sitting out the 2010-2011 season per NCAA transfer rules.

Cieplicki led the Northeast 10 in three-point shooting this past season, connecting on 44% of his attempts from behind the arc while averaging 8 points and 3 rebounds in his 21 minutes per game.

Cieplicki attended the New Hampton School for a post-graduate year prior to enrolling at St. Michael's.

The only reason he would have to sit out, as far as I can tell, is if he were academically ineligible at St. Michael's.

I wonder if Sam is related to Keith Cieplicki former head coach of the Syracuse women's team and University of Vermont women's team. Keith was a pretty good shooter himself back in the early 80's when he was an All Conference performer 3 straight years,1983, 1984, and 1985 for William and Mary.

Thought I would copy this from the '2010-2011' schedules section... Wydown had posted Wash U's schedule...

"Had to check out Wash U's schedule (thanks Wydown) and note that they are hosting Tsinghua University in the Lopata Tourney....   I said "what?"...

The simplified info from Wikipedia...

Tsinghua University (THU; simplified Chinese: 清华大学; traditional Chinese: 清華大學; pinyin: Qīnghuá Dàxué), or Qinghua University, is a university in Beijing, China. The school is one of the nine universities of the C9 League. It was established in 1911, originally under the name "Tsinghua Xuetang". The school was renamed the "Tsinghua School" in 1912. The university section was founded in 1925 and the name "National Tsinghua University" adopted in 1928. With a motto of Self-Discipline and Social Commitment, Tsinghua University describes itself as being dedicated to academic excellence, the well-being of Chinese society and to global development.[1] Today, most national and international rankings place Tsinghua as one of the best universities in mainland China.

The Lopata now going world wide to bring in outstanding Student Athletes  .   It will be a thrill to welcome this team all the way from China to Wash U and St. Louis......"
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

Wydown Blvd.

WashU has a close academic relationship with Tsinghua University through the engineering department. The Chinese university coming to Lopata probably arose after the trip that Tyler Nading and Cameron Smith took around the time of the Bejing Olympics:
