Former Princeton recruit Jeff Peterson, who reneged on his Early Decision commitment to the Tigers and then signed with Iowa in April 2007 after reopening his recruitment three months earlier, has announced he will transfer.
Peterson was Iowa's third leading scorer as a sophomore, averaging 10.6 ppg.
It will be interesting to see where Peterson lands, as two of his original finalists had coaching changes during his recruitment (St. Louis, Xavier) and Princeton does not accept transfers.

Oregon State (16-17) advanced to the College Basketball Invitational's best-of-three finals with a 65-62 win over Stanford. The Cardinal sent the game to overtime on a second chance turnaround jumper at the buzzer, and were up five with 2:31 left in the extra frame, but Beavers center Roeland Schaftenaar sparked a 7-0 run, hitting a three, scoring inside and then assisting on a backdoor that put OSU up to stay. The Beavers will host the first game of the CBI championship on Monday night.
In the other CBI semi, Richmond (20-16) saw its season end with a 81-69 loss to UTEP. Down all night, the Spiders cut their deficit to two with eight minutes left, but could not get any closer. Richmond head coach Chris Mooney missed the final 4:44 of action, ejected following his second technical foul.
