In response to CM
Cornell fan here, didn’t go to Cornell but lived in Ithaca for several years and knew a few Cornell athletes. Based on roster information, Cornell has 18 players on the roster with 6 players from NYS, 3 in NYS contract schools, and 3 in endowed schools/colleges. Out of curiosity and with some free time, Columbia has 14 players listed on the roster and 4 from hometowns in New York. 20-30 years ago NY may have been a hotbed for high school basketball but their neighbors in New Jersey have overtaken them IMO. I don’t know about the difference in admission rates but did have an old neighbor who went to the Dyson Business School, which I believe is part of the NYS system and has a very low admission rate as I recall.
I enjoyed Ithaca but there are no local D1 basketball feeder schools unless you consider Syracuse, Albany, and Buffalo local schools.
