A wish list.
Princeton's 2010-11 season officially gets underway tonight with the first full team practice. Since driving home from Saint Louis in March, I've frequently been thinking about a "wish list" for this year's roster. Hopefully these paragraphs on each returning and incoming player will spark some interesting responses in the comments. I've gone in alphabetical order for the upperclassmen, with the coaching staff and freshmen worked in at the end.

New Recruit - Bobby Garbade.
He's 6'10" and he's getting bigger.
He's senior center Bobby Garbade (rhymes with car-raid), and yesterday he informed the Princeton coaching staff during an on-campus visit that he wanted to be part of the Tigers' next recruiting class. Pending admission, Garbade (pictured on the right above) joins Denton Koon and Clay Wilson, who each verbally committed to Princeton earlier this year.
Tonight I spoke at length with Garbade's high school coach Chris Sinicki, who has coached the future Tiger for the past three seasons at Seton Catholic Central High School in Binghampton, NY. Sinicki's exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations and videos of Garbade can be found after the jump.
"To Marvin, who understands."
It was a classy display by Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson to have his entire team and coaching staff show up to today's memorial for Marvin Bressler en masse.
Seeing the current Tigers occupying the back two rows of the filled-beyond-capacity auditorium, two things struck me:
1. The similarity in the experiences of those who were assisted by Marvin when they made his acquaintance during his first days at Princeton in the early 1960s to those who graduated in the past few years.
2. A sadness that the current freshmen on the team sitting in Robertson Hall will not have the fortune to get to know Marvin and that they did not share the privilege of his company.
Three inch buttons with Marvin's visage on them or select "Bresslerisms" were handed out at the door.
