Te last time Penn tried that was with Craig Littlepage, amirite?
In retrospect it may not have been as bad as we thought back at the time.
It was 40 years ago so of course totally irrelevant.

A similar strategy worked big time for USC.

Either Huff and Karaban would make a huge difference in the ivies. Both of their videos looked very good, especially for sophomores. Both would work really well in a Donahue scheme.
Too early to get my hopes up.

For what it's worth Karaban is from AJ's hometown of Northboro, MA.

And Huff plays for the same AAU team as Max R. Same team Louis Lesmond (Harvard) played for as well.
Lets get both these guys!

They would be a dynamic frontline. They could create some major switching headaches, as they both have the ability to drive and pass. Both seem to be able rebounders and shot blockers too. Adding MLL to the mix would give Donohue a lot of options.

Wondering - does a lame duck athletic director pose a recruiting problem? Or could it be a benefit?
BTW, while looking up Calhoun's transition, I found this. It's old news, and I'm not asserting she acted improperly here. The appearances aren't great. Maybe the other coach can get the job back.

No. No one cares about the AD. Not positive or negative. Not an issue.
Not sure why she is making this move but no one cares.

Fair enough. I didn't really mean the the athletes care about the AD - I just wasn't sure if the number of offers, possible AI strategies, transfers, and financial aid awards might usually flow through the AD to admissions.
I'm hoping that Calhoun is more responsible than Bilsky, who apparently wasn't working too hard at the end.

Adam Walden is the kid from Balt ... Huff and Karaban are from my understanding at this point fairly strong leans elsewhere

Mark Armstrong is committing tomorrow. Penn did not make his final 8 (Villanova, Kansas, Auburn, Stanford, Seton Hall, Rutgers, Louisville and UConn).
Rowan Brumbaugh mentions Princeton, but not Penn here: https://basketballrecruit ing.rivals.com/news/shaw-...

i mean to be fair, i don't even remember who's on the team at this point between last year's graduation, this year's graduation, transfer rules, me being old, etc.
So maybe we'll be fine. But would like some PLAYERS.
