Ripon is also the birthplace of the Republican Party.
Do we want The Donald to try to recruit this guy? I'd rather have him do that than try to run the country.

Easier to build a wall with China! Oh, wait a second they already have one...
Which comes first: man walks on Mars, Penn ranked in top 25?

I agree that it would be very difficult for the Quakers to complete with the mighty Cedarville Yellow Jackets for the services of Bennett Vander Plas. Last year, Cedarville had a losing record playing in the killer Great Midwestern conference with other D2 powerhouses like Ohio Valley Fighting Scots or the Alderson Broaddus Battlers.
I fairness, Bennett’s sister Taylor just graduated from Cedarville where she was a starter for their women’s basketball team. Bennett probably attended a ton of his sister’s games on the Cedarville campus. Bennett has excellent bloodlines in hoops. His father, Dean Vander Plas led his University of Wisconsin Green Bay team to their first NCAA tournament in school history in 1991.

It was a thoughtful and informed response. Stop being a tool.

Oh you must mean in the first paragraph where he says penn can't compete with a team with a losing record in division II?
And I'll think about your request when you stop being a douche.

If you couldn't detect the sarcasm that was dripping off that post, through your monitor, onto your keyboard, and down into a big puddle on your floor that your cat is taking a nap in right now... then you're bad at detecting sarcasm.

No apologies needed.
I simply enjoy occasionally trying to match the wit and subtle humor conveyed by some of the Penn, Princeton, and Columbia alums on their respective threads. At least, the Crimson have MJ to try to get us using the left side of our brains more.

2017 Recruit 05-31-16 03:23 PM - Post#207344
In response to CrimsonHoops
I am somewhat familiar with this school.
Cedarville College is not a school that you would go to unless you are a fundamentalist Christian.
I know nothing about this guy, but since his sister went there it is likely that his family is quite religious. That would not necessarily make him a great fit for the environment at Penn.

Then again, perhaps our fellow alumnus, Donald, will make Penn the "in school" for the evangelical crowd.
Do you think he cares about Penn Basketball?
