In response to Vonsid
While I would have given the COY to Henderson also, it's because that to me, there should be a presumption that the winning team's coach gets the COY absent something far more compelling than a Cornell team going 7-7 in the league. However, I don't think he necessarily outrecruited and outcoached the league--he had a remarkably healthy group of seniors--which is what wins in this League. They primarily were better one on one players and were more experienced than the opposition, which suffered heavy losses from the missed year, Covid and injuries. I imagine Yale would have finished first had it not lost Atkinson (and/or had Bruner sat out a year and played for Yale). Congrats to Henderson and Princeton, but the real recruiting and coaching test for Princeton will be next year, which it will be Tosan and a bunch of unknowns. We'll get to that after the Ivy and March Madness.
