- 247Sports recruiting data goes back to 2003. In the 15 years prior to this one, Princeton had never signed a top 200 recruit, let alone a player in the top 100. Since inking No. 208 Max Schafer in 2003, the Tigers had only even signed one top 250 guy—No. 232 Ian Hummer in 2009. Getting the No. 90 recruit in this year's class was one heck of a job by head coach Mitch Henderson and his staff. -

- Henderson is looking for his team to show marked growth at the defensive end of the court.
“The first (change) is you have to defend; if you’re going to be really good in this league or anywhere in the country, you have to play a hard-nosed defense,†said Henderson.
“We can score. We lost some really heartbreaking games, but when you look at the games towards the end and even the overtime games where we struggled, I think it’s our defense. We graduated a terrific player in Amir [Bell] defensively, but between these two guys we have the ability to be a very tough-nosed defensive team. I think that’s where you have to hang your hat on in this league.â€
Cannady, for his part, is helping his teammates buy into the defensive emphasis.
“You just focus on it in practice,†said Cannady, who is on track to break the program record for three-pointers as he has 218, 63 behind the 281 posted by Brian Earl ’99.
“It’s been one of our key points in the spring, before the freshmen came in, and even now going over our principles and small details and then constantly pounding the hammer on the nail and taking care of that during practice. Then when we compete, if someone doesn’t do one of our rules or principles, really grabbing them and telling them, ‘This is how we do things.’ It’s one thing we’re trying to help the freshmen out with, both Myles and I. It’s something we take pride in.†-
