Really, really excited to see how this Penn/Yale battle over Cotton turns out... Would be a strong head-to-head win if Penn can pull it off...

"Excited" is not the word many of us would use.

It is definitely a potential program defining moment for Donahue if the Quakers can land Cotton over Yale.

I think it's a program defining moment either way.

Maybe... although according to Asia, I'm only moderately less in the dark than everyone else.

That last one was a response to Jeff. I wouldn't come close to labeling whatever happens as "program defining," especially when what Harvard and Princeton will be throwing out there in 18-19 is light years ahead of where Penn would be even with Cotton, but it'd be a big step to get another H2H win versus Yale.

What does Penn's recruitment of Cotton have to do with what "Harvard and Yale are throwing out there"? Pretty irrelevant statement unless you just like beating your chest. Seems to me that if Penn beats Yale on a kid they both want, it's a big deal for a program that historically hasn't done that. Sorry if we don't measure up to your snooty standards yet, even if we did split the series with both those schools.

for the record, he said harvard/princeton... not yale. had to re-read that one.
now, wading into less factual ground, I think MRJAMES thinks (and I think as well), That Harvard routinely picks up guys at Cotton's caliber and occasionally higher. Steve needs to raise his game even further if he gets Cotton. But hey, have to start somewhere, so let's get it done.

Thanks for the correction. I mistyped in my haste. Again, it seems to me to be chest thumping on Penn's board. Someone should report him to the moderator...

I will report myself to myself...
I honestly do not mean it as chest thumping. It's just a fact, especially if Harvard and Princeton add anything substantial to close out this 2018 class.

Last I checked there was a recruiting board for Harvard and Princeton. Besides, doesn't matter how many 4* Harvard gets Aiken is taking all the shots while those guys watch from the bench or some other place on the court. That's how a team like Princeton/Yale/Penn beats an all star team like Harvard...
and for the record, I did know that you were the moderator.

Who was the target player in the other Penn vs. Yale recruiting battle?

Kind of hoping this is some foreshadowing by mrjames to fire us up (just his small way of helping with the rising tide).

Yes that guy
I wrote to someone about a month ago that he kind of reminds me of Bob Morse from my day. He's more skilled than Bob was and more athletic, but of course the game has changed radically from the early 70's and everyone is more skilled and more athletic these days.
The pg in that youtube video is the highly regarded pg going to Harvard.
