I hope he's the right guy, I really want him to be. It certainly maximizes continuity. Not that you are reading this, but good luck Coach Jaques. |

Jaques seems like the easiest and correct choice for AD Moore. Successful alum and long-serving coach, who has a strong connection to Cornell and Ithaca. Hopefully, he will take the lessons learned from the last few years under Brian Earl over the lessons from his time with Bill Courtney. |

I think teams will still get good recruits. I don't see that as the big problem. With some exceptions, some of our better recruits were left due to HS injuries or maybe size issues. Sure, we might lose a Llewellyn, Aiken or Towns to an NIL offer, but there will still be late bloomers. The issue is whether a Shonn Miller or Matt Morgan would have transferred out after a breakout season (or two). Morgan scored 18.9 PPG as a freshman, Miller only 8.9 PPG (So 11.9; Jr. 16.8). I'm thinking Morgan might have transferred right away, with Miller considering it after his Junior season. As Ivy Player of the Year as a sophomore, Towns could have been mulling it over until his injury in the final 10 minutes of the Tournament Final. Aiken might have left after his freshman campaign (14.5 PPG) |

Good for Brennan. Serves as another reminder of the challenging intineracy of the coaching profession. Spouses (and family) must be saintly. |

Adapting to life in Ithaca may be a challenge for a family from D.C., but I am sure they will love the more relaxed life of a rural college town. Gorgeous part of the country for certain. |
