In response to 1LotteryPick1969
I agree that this issue should be better addressed. MH would be smart to consider significantly tweaking his recruiting approach in the near future (especially after next season when the Tigers graduate a lot of talented seniors).
In past, the smaller Princeton teams could match up fairly well with other Ivies who typically played only one true post or big body forward player at a time combined with four guards/wing players. Harvard’s incoming freshman class will change the dynamic within the league due to their recruitment of four very athletic, huge wingspan and height recruits (Seth Towns 6’8â€, Chris Lewis 6’8â€, Robert Baker 6’9†and Henry Walsh 6’10â€) who will create tough match up issues for Princeton’s typical smaller (6’4†to 6’5â€), but athletic and skilled wing players. Moving forward, Harvard will probably have two athletic, immense wingspan players on the court at all times. Princeton should look to place higher priority on bringing in more 6’7†to 6’9†athletic forwards (like Yale’s new 4-star 6’9†Jordan Bruner) to better matchup with the Crimson and the Bulldogs. Along these lines, maybe MH will be able to secure Jarod Simmons of Cushing Academy, a big body 6’9†3-star recruit.
