It was October 31st when word first broke that 6'5" Serra High School senior Henry Caruso had verbally committed to Princeton, becoming the fifth member of Mitch Henderson's 2013 recruiting class.

Rapp compared Caruso to another future Tiger he coached several years back who developed into an All-Ivy performer and shared a story about a key champion in Caruso's recruitment.
Quotes from our conversation plus links and videos featuring Caruso can all be found after the jump.

Please note that today is October 1st, so all 2011-12 accounts have expired. I owe you all a "State of the Site" address, which I fully expected to have posted this morning but due to some unexpected time at the emergency room over the weekend due to my daughter contracting asthmatic bronchitis, it is running late. Look for it shortly, along with several new bells and whistles based on your suggestions. Thanks for understanding. If you wish to renew or subscribe for the 2012-13 season you can do so here.
"Throwback Thursday" is back for a third straight week and this time out we've scanned covers and select pages from inside four late 1960s and early 1970s Princeton media guides.
Four decades ago these guides were not the glossy, full color, 200+ behemoths they eventually developed into. Heck, they weren't even called "media guides." The oldest of these documents is little more than a small, possibly photocopied pamphlet.
That said, each has a certain understated, simplistic beauty - though they've got nothing on the mid-1970s Princeton media guides I won on eBay last year which are nearly works of art.
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. This site is not directly affiliated with the Friends of Princeton Basketball, Princeton University or the Princeton athletic department.
