I believe Matt Langel once played for Penn as well.

Well aware. What other Penn players are currently playing for other DI teams, other than Williams?
Only other one I can think of is Bryce Washington (Hofstra, did not advance)

Nice thing for Jelani is that he is playing a much bigger role too. He is not just the veteran out there. He is a big part of the offense too.

It's also great he gets to play in his hometown with Howard.

Yeah, this sounds like Williams:
"The clock never moved. When Howard inbounded, there was no doubt where the ball was going: to Williams. He already had 18 points — the only Howard player in double figures — and he had been the Bison’s rock down the stretch.
“I’m supposed to be the tough guy, especially in close games,” he said. “I understand that role, and I want that role.”"

“I want that role.”
Seems like no one wanted that role in the second half of games down the stretch this year.

I appreciate that but Jelani didn't have that role his last year at Penn. And I doubt that he would have been able to play that role in the Ivies, which is a tougher league. Guy is all heart, and we certainly did miss that this year.

Yeah, but he was one season further removed from his surgeries. Williams with a bit more hops and shooting *might* have played that role for us sometimes. He has some Foreman in him - as he is showing.
