Sure, those headed to the Ivy League don't actually write their names on a National Letter of Intent, but that shouldn't stop each player's school from any pomp and circumstance they planned.
In a ceremony at Liberty High School on Monday, with admissions letters long since mailed out, Denton Koon made his selection of Princeton official.
Koon never wavered from his intention to play for the Tigers when Sydney Johnson left last month and a conversation with new coach Mitch Henderson the day Henderson was hired evaporated any anxiousness on Koon's part.
This is as good a time as any to run an email sent to me in late March from Liberty head coach Roger Stirtz updating everyone on his senior forward's progress since we first talked about Koon last August.
Read what Stirtz had to say after the jump.
