2015 PF Joseph Ritter of Woodrow Wilson High School found a home in the Northeast last week. The 6-8 240 pound post from Dallas, Texas decided to take his game to Cornell.
Cornell took their Ivy League academic standards and Division 1 needs to comb the state of Texas and struck nicely adding Ritter. Ritter’s 3.5 AP GPA and a 29 ACT score makes for an attractive Ivy League student and when you combine that with a college ready body and a decent ceiling Cornell struck nicely with this talent. Scouting service notes say he’s a skilled low post guy with college ready body that can face up out to 15 feet, knock down free throws, and he has a solid touch with nice upside.
The talented young man is excited about the opportunity to attend Cornell and he also is aware he needs to keep improving. “I feel comfortable about rebounding and defending at the next level but have to get college level strength and conditioning,” he said, adding “I’m excited about the opportunity Cornell presents both academic and basketball wise and I’m looking forward to the challenge and working with the coaches there.”
Joseph took multiple unofficial Ivy League visits because of his value of a high level education, but Cornell had a feel that provided an atmosphere he thought he could be productive in. Joseph spent his summers with Dream Elite basketball during the grassroots travel season.
