Former Richmond center Dan Geriot has been added to Mitch Henderson's coaching staff as the program's volunteer assistant coach, replacing the departed Craig Moore.
Geriot, who graduated in June following the Spiders' run to the Sweet 16, was recently waived by the Belgian team VOO Verviers-Pepinster after suffering a knee injury.
You can follow Geriot on Twitter here.
There was a slew of content on espn.com yesterday, as Dana O'Neil wrote a piece about Mitch Henderson and another about how balance is back in the Ivy League. Elsewhere on the same site Dave Blatt, who has led a Russian team to an undefeated record at Eurobasket 2011, is profiled.
Henderson also provides advice on how recruits can get noticed as part of Varsity Ace's Recruiting 101 series.
While the addition of a home game versus Buffalo was a welcome sight on the 2011-12 non-conference schedule, one team that I was told would be making a return trip does not have Princeton on their schedule. Alas.
Georgetown coach John Thompson III is excited about his freshman class.
Is it possible the Hoyas' brawl in China was a good thing for the team?
Craig Robinson is hopeful that Oregon State can take the next step this year.
I don't think I posted previously that the Brown schedule was released.
When I heard over the summer that Princeton would play Buffalo as part of their 2011-12 non-conference schedule, visions of driving by myself all the way out to western New York immediately came to the forefront.
Thankfully, that won't be a concern this season as the Tigers will host the Bulls at Jadwin Gym on November 19th.
Buffalo had a 20-14 overall record a year ago, 8-8 in MAC play. The Bulls advanced to the postseason for the third time as a DI school, bowing out in the third round of the CIT at Iona.
A reader was kind enough to scan and send over this photo of the 1996-97 Tigers, a squad that would go 24-3 in the regular season with an unblemished Ivy record before falling 55-52 to Cal in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Front row: Jason Osier, Brian Earl, Alex Karlsen, Sean Gregory, Gabe Lewullis, Phil Belin, Mitch Henderson, J.R. Gillern, Jose Ramirez-Del Toro
Back row: Jim Brenner, Joe Scott, Jay Galloway, Sydney Johnson, James Mastaglio, Steve Goodrich, Jesse Rosenfeld, Nate Walton, Mason Rocca, John McCann, Darren Hite, John Thompson III, Bill Carmody, Mike McDonnell

About a year ago, right after he signed with Gran Canaria 2014, I exchanged emails with Judson Wallace '05 about his simple, hitch-free transfer leaving Italy for a squad off the coast of Spain.
One year later, Wallace and I again traded messages for an exclusive interview, this time following a prolonged saga that saw Wallace waiting to join Spanish powerhouse FC Barcelona Regal as maneuvers were made behind the scenes to secure dual citizenship because Barca had already satisfied its quota of American-born players.
This odyssey ended two days ago and Wallace was formally announced as the newest member of the Lega ACB champions. Shortly thereafter I sent him nine questions to answer. His responses can be found after the jump.
Cornell announced that due to Princeton's exam schedule, the Ivy League opener between the Big Red and the Tigers would be moved up two weeks.
This alteration is not unprecedented but it is also not common over recent seasons. The previous two times Princeton opened conference play before breaking for exams didn't work out well for the Tigers: Swept at Columbia and Cornell in 2007 and a split with Cornell and Columbia at Jadwin in 2006. Prior to that the orange and black bested both Harvard and Dartmouth on the road in January 2002.
Both Northwestern and Richmond have released their full 2011-12 schedules. Spiders head coach Chris Mooney was a recent guest at the Robins School of Business.

It appears that after playing at Florida State on December 30th the Tigers will stick around Tallahassee to face Florida A&M on New Year's Day.
I can't recall a time in recent memory where the Tigers combined non-conference games on a single plane trip that wasn't a tournament. Anyone?
The Rattlers, who are part of the MEAC, had a record of 8-20 last season.
Will Venable was mired in a 1-17 slump before hitting a home run (video) to lead off yesterday's game versus Colorado. The Padres still dropped their ninth straight, 5-4.
Now it looks like Judson Wallace does have his new passport in order and can sign with Barcelona? I'm so confused, and Google Translate isn't helping matters.
