In response to hoopla
The NMH connection was significant. John Carroll is highly focused on getting his players that want high academics placed at Ivies. Ian is a New Hampshire kid and his parent's can see him play regularly.
This line goes back to in recent years to Weeden, Rufful, Riddle, Brooks, Golden, Carpenter, and Fleming. Cormier's son, James, had rich experience at NMH as an assistance coach. Dartmouth was a done deal, awaiting Ian qualifying for admission. To their credit, the existing coaching staff continued this process.
Last year NMH had 9 alums on Ivy League basketball rosters. Ian will be a good get for the Big Green.
