A really nice get. Visited Yale. Princeton's performance in the NCAA tournament may be helping recruiting.

One site lists him as 6-9. Not much video available. Playing as a smallish 5 which he will not be able to do against bigger collegiate 5's. Very active on the boards. Nice short range game. Can't tell if he shoots the 3, but would assume he does.

That name will unleash a torrent of plays on words if he gets any playing time.

Videos show nice jumper with VERY quick release. Spot up or off the dribble. Also nice step back close to the hoop. Sturdy frame and absorbs contact. Good get, as they say.

Does anyone know if Mason Hooks will play this year?
If not , the size issue is an immediate one.

I think, but cannot be sure, that he is going the route of Harrison Schaen and will not be back.

Thanks. Size and whether Austin can play area our
two big question marks for a team with lots of potential.

Nice article on Jack Stanton, looks like Coach Henderson has borrowed a few pages from Coach Carril’s recruiting playbook.

You need a big man? How about Jalen Travis on the football team. 6'9", 315. He must have played some basketball in his life. His older brother played b-ball for Harvard.
Submitted in jest, but is there a precedent?

Actually, there is a precedent. All pro tight end Tony Gonzalez played basketball for California and was instrumental in defeating Princeton in the first round of the NCAA tournament. He was a bull on the court and could probably have played in the NBA if he had worked at it.
Of course, this was in the late 1990s.

He has a greater lineage than just Jonah, the Harvard small forward:
Brother, Reid, played basketball at Stanford, Kentucky and plays overseas
Brother, Jonah, played basketball at Harvard
Cousin, Ross, played basketball at Penn State and plays in the NFL
Amaker should have grabbed all of them, but I think Jonah didn't get the playing time he wanted. He was a power forward with no outside shot who - at a generous 6'5" - was only a power forward in this league. He had some great skills and moves near the basket though. Harvard was loaded at that time with guys taller than Jonah (Zena Edosomwan, Kenyatta Smith, Kyle Casey, Steve Moundou-Misi, Evan Cummins, Agumwa Okoli). Even Wes Saunders was close to that size. Except for Siyani Chambers, Jonah might have been the smallest guy on the floor. Remember, Okoli was a 6'8" guard and defensive player of the year. Things have certainly changed in Cambridge.

Verbal Commits now shows a 4th commit for Princeton, Malik Abdullahi, 6'7", who plays HS in the Miami FL area. The links below show favorable comments/ratings for an Ivy recruit, though I don't recall reading anything from Made Hoops previously.

This article has comments on both the men's and women's recruits entering in '28. Does not appear to be anything that hasn't already been mentioned in this thread earlier for the men.

The coaching staff has done such a great job finding and developing hidden gems that I've avoided speculating much on incoming recruits. After all, Tosan and Xaivian were totally off-the-radar recruits and ended up being NBA prospects.

One last addition to the 2024 class: Zio Kim from The Pennington School.

But I confess the main reason I'm posting this is Xaivian's brief comment on Zio's instagram:
"let’s get to work"
Not something you say to an incoming freshman if you're on your way out.
The Ivy has a big NIL/transfer problem to deal with. But for now, it looks like Princeton is safe. Lee and Pierce seem like safe bets to return and take care of unfinished business next year.

Deven Austin’s dad seems convinced (per his comments on TAFKA Twitter) that Caden and Xaivian are staying put with his son. Let’s hope he’s right!

I hate to say it, but the big defections elsewhere -- namely Owusu-Anane, Mack and Wolf -- should be even greater motivation for Lee and Pierce to stay and ball out.
It's never going to be "easy" to win the league and certainly not the ILT. But the truth is, it just got a lot easier. I'm worried for the Ivies overall, but this Tiger team could do something truly epic and amazing in the next two years.

If I could pick 4 players to leave via the portal limited to one per team I would be hard pressed to improve on Perkins, Nana, Mack and Wolf. Suggests the cliche addition by subtraction. what this means for the league is difficult to grasp yet.
But it ain't good!!

I like your conclusion regarding Lee.
I was hoping for a "big"--I guess not to be.
Video on Kim: 6'4", thin but not "rail thin". Good handle, can go left and finish left. Shoots a true jumper close in. Beyond the arc has a high arcing two handed low release set shot.

Sounds like a walk on type of player. If he just committed, it indicates that he had applied this past year. If you look at his profile, he is an absolutely outstanding student. However, who knows, maybe he can develop into a productive player.
