Nominated for this year's McDonald game.
Although it's difficult get full stats, he's had at least three games in which he's had 15 or more rebounds thus far, getting 15, 17 and 16 in those games.

My hope is that Faulds is a true center who likes to play down low. If Faulds spends most of his time in the paint, it will allow Meisner to play his natural position of stretch 4.

ESPN rates him a four star recruit and a top five Michigan hs player. Does that make him the highest ranked incoming Ivy player for next year?

Whether or not he's the highest ranked incoming player, he's certainly our #1 and should be an impact player. Did you notice that we offered a promising player who just de-committed from Drake?

Faulds had 25 in his team's 72-51 W, but only shot 7/12 FTs.
Hanson had 33 in his team's 60-57 L, where he led a comeback after being down 17 with 6 minutes to go.

Faulds and Hanson are lighting it up! Do you know how Randall Brumant is doing at the Kent School? Any info on Tai Bibbs' recruitment? We were one of his earliest suitors before he committed to Drake. He decommitted from Drake two weeks ago.

He's been offered by us, UC Davis, Elon, and possibly Drexel. Let's hope he thinks long-term and academic and chooses us.
Re Faulds and Hanson--they are #41 and 90 on a list of the best players in the midwest.I don't remember when we last had two recruits who were having such dominant senior seasons. Looking ahead in a year or two, Engelhardt is going to have quite an impressive arsenal of options.

It will be interesting to see his development. In his first year, certainly, he won't replace Petrasek's 15 PPG. But he is more of a defensive force, and certainly a better rebounder, so even if he falls back to a first year average of 10-12 PPG, we should rise in the standings.
It's his sophomore year where, alongside Hanson but with Smith and Tape as juniors + Hunter, Adlesh, and Meisner as seniors, that we'll really be able to compete for an IL championship.

Some observers say that Gabrielle Steffani is the best shooter in the entire incoming Ivy League class. Randall Brumant also looks good on film. See link below. Hunter, Tape and Meisner have star potential and Smith and Hickman are already stars. If Columbia lands one more impact player in the incoming class, there is no doubt in my mind that the Lions will have an outstanding team next year. However, I'm focused on this weekend's games with Dartmouth and Harvard. No reason why we cannot win both games.

He looks like more of a true center than Luke, who always struck me as more of a stretch 4. A frontcourt of Faulds, Meisner and Tape could have a lot of potential along with great size.

True, except that with 4 6'8"+ players graduating this year (Voss, Coby, Petrasek, and McComber), it does not leave anyone with any size as backup.

Randall Brumant has been described as an "elite" forward with length so even though he's under 6'8" he will help up front. Andrew Panaytiou can help also at 6'7." I haven't seen much of Eberle or Sica, but they have size too.

Rodney Hunter, although listed at 6'5", plays like he is 6'8" on the defensive side. He can guard taller players extremely well. Now if he could just improve his offensive game......

That's my hope too. Obviously, Meisner, Faulds, and Tape if he begins to come into his potential could be a really powerful front line. Combine it with Smith as PG, Hickman as a shooting guard, the return of a healthy Castlin + the backups of Hanson & Adlesh, and Columbia should project as a top ranked Ivy Team. The substitution upfront will admittedly be smaller, but if Brumant, Hunter, and Castlin hustle and play defense, those contributions should at least partly offset their apparent lack of height.

CJ Davis is also playing valuable minutes as the backup PG. he plays good defense.
