“started this trend�????
What an ignorant statement.
Hooks is ranked #300 by 247. He may turn out to be an amazing Ivy player, but this ‘trend’ started long ago. Back in 2013 Zena Edosomwan, who went to same school as Hooks, eschewed far higher and more numerous offers to take a PG year at NMH just so he could attend Harvard.
Since then, there have been many players rated far above Hooks who chose the Ivies. If there is a ‘trend,’ it should be attributed to Amaker’s 2016 recruiting class that featured 4 roughly top 100 recruits - one of which is taller than Hooks (Baker) and another being the same size (Lewis).
