Following a busy end to September, where Princeton picked up verbal commitments from Chris Clement, Daniel Edwards and Ben Hazel, it appeared like the Tigers' 2010 recruiting was complete.
Enter a November surprise - the fifth member of this class, 6'7" forward Tom Noonan (#31, right) from William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia.
Noonan had piqued the interest at times during the recruiting process of three Ivy schools - Cornell, Columbia and Yale. He attended the Lions' and Bulldogs' Elite Camps over the summer and would have been present at the Big Red's were it not for an injury.
I had a chance to speak to Noonan's head coach at Penn Charter, Jim Phillips, earlier in the week and he shared his thoughts with me about this future Tiger marksman, both on-and-off the court.
Exclusive quotes, descriptions and links to articles about Noonan can be all found after the jump.
