12 alumni of prep powerhouse Northfield Mount Hermon will suit up for Ivy League teams in 2012-13, but Princeton does not currently have a NMH grad on their roster.
This will change next season as 6'10" Pete Miller has committed to join Steven Cook in Mitch Henderson's 2013 recruiting class.
Miller hails from Winchester, MA and plays his AAU ball for Middlesex Magic.
Since this original post went live I've talked to both Miller's AAU coach and his head coach for a full profile of the latest Tiger that should (hopefully) be finished tomorrow.
Here’s the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, Russian head coach David Blatt, whose team improved to 2-0 in group play earlier this morning, shares some of his Olympic memories.
Congratulations are in order for Mitch Henderson and his wife on the birth of their son Theodore Robert (not pictured above).
Pete Carril was profiled in El Pais. I ran the article through Google Translate which should make it somewhat easier to parse the content if you don't speak Spanish.
Carril and Coach Henderson met soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimović when French football club Paris Saint-Germain practiced at Princeton recently.
The Dave Blatt-coached Russian team opened group play at the 2012 Olympics with a 95-75 victory over host nation Great Britain.
A pair of scheduling updates: Georgetown has been matched with UCLA in the second Legends Classic semifinal and Oregon State will play Alabama at MSG in one of the 2K Sports Classic's semis.
It was poor fastball location that plagued Chris Young (2-5) on Saturday night in Arizona. Young allowed seven hits and six earned runs in four innings of work as the Mets fell 6-3 to the Diamondbacks.
One sentence of praise for Ian Hummer from someone who has watched a good number of Kenner League games over the years.
If you've listened to part one of this week's exclusive interview with Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson, you already knew that Rider will visit Princeton for the first time in over a decade this season.
That matchup now has a date, which has been added to the tentative 2012-13 schedule on your right.
Scott Greenman is one of those scheduled to suit up at the 24th Annual Chuck’s 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament.
The Cornell schedule for 2012-13 has been released, allowing the insertion of games versus the Big Red and Columbia in the tentative schedule to your right.
I think it is fair to also expect the Dartmouth/Harvard road trip to be the weekend of February 16th and those two teams to return to Jadwin in reverse order the weekend of March 1st. If Penn concludes the conference slate (as tradition has dictated), the only remaining question is where the first game versus the Quakers slots and whether that would come prior to the exam break or not.
Will Venable (video) dropped in a two run double to give San Diego a lead they would not relinquish versus San Francisco yesterday.
Here's part two of yesterday's conversation with Princeton men's basketball coach Mitch Henderson. If you missed part one, it can be found here.
In this segment (which runs a more manageable 6:00+) topics of conversation include:
The Tigers' upcoming trip to Spain, what cities the team will be visiting, who is eligible to go overseas, how much practice time is allowed before departure, what Coach Henderson took away from previous European visits as both a player and a coach, Summer leagues and Henderson's feelings on the Ivy League turning down a postseason tournament proposal.
After you're done listening feel free to explore a full archive of our weekly discussions from last season.
Georgetown has announced their 2012-13 non-conference home schedule.
Two batters in to his most recent start, Chris Young had already allowed a single and a home run. Young would then find his rhythm and retire 18 of the next 20 he faced without giving up another hit, striking out seven and lowering his ERA to 3.91. The end result was a no decision as Young departed after seven innings and the Mets fell to Washington in extra frames.
Craig Robinson was at the Oregon Air National Guard base to greet his brother-in-law yesterday.
The signing of Mason Rocca by Virtus Bologna is discussed.
I had a chance to tape a wide-ranging interview with Princeton basketball head coach Mitch Henderson at Jadwin Gym today.
This Q&A has been divided into two segments, the longer of which can be streamed after the jump and the second of which will go live tomorrow.
In part one (which runs 21:00+) topics of conversation include:
Preparing for year two versus prepping for Henderson's first season at the helm, the incoming three man freshman class, changes to recruiting and the Evaluation Periods that went into effect this off-season, the program's new Director of Basketball Operations, Princeton's various basketball camps and the 2012-13 schedule.
After you're done listening feel free to explore a full archive of our weekly discussions from last season.
Sophomore guard Clay Wilson is preparing for a breakout second season at Princeton.
T.J. Bray and Jimmy Sherburne played their first game as teammates in the Milwaukee Summer Pro-Am. While both put up nice stat lines, it is concerning to read Sherburne had to leave the contest due to a shoulder injury.
Mason Rocca has an offer on the table from Virtus Bologna and is expected to give them an answer today.
Matching shutout innings with Jordan Zimmermann into the sixth, Chris Young (2-4) allowed a two run home run by Adam LaRoche and that was enough to send the Mets to defeat. Young gave up six hits and was aided by a pair of double plays.
T.J. Bray and Jimmy Sherburne are teammates back home this summer in the Milwaukee Summer Pro-Am. While Sherburne has yet to suit up, box scores for Schell Dentistry's first and second games are available.
It sounds like Ian Hummer was causing problems for opponents this weekend at the Kenner League.
At the Addidas Invitational, a small forward continued to list Princeton among his suitors.
Pitching on extended rest in the first game after the All-Star break for the Mets, Chris Young (2-3) had his worst start of the year, allowing five earned runs in three innings of work.
The details on Young's incentive-laden deal with New York are interesting.
His team down to its last strike, Will Venable (video) was right in the middle of a bizarre sequence that allowed San Diego to rally past Los Angeles.
A specific email cemented the relationship between Chris Mooney and his Athletic Director at Richmond.
Here’s the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, highlights of Princeton's 1990 NCAA Tournament game versus Arkansas. I posted these one year ago but they subsequently vanished and then resurfaced online.
princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
