News and Notes: Thursday Edition

Below, some news and notes for Thursday...

• The Daily Pennsylvanian's Brian Kotloff writes, "Cornell’s Shonn Miller won the [Ivy League Rookie of the Year] award, proving you can’t predict performance based on ESPN’s scouting grades."

• A graduating Cornell Daily Sun columnist recalls Cornell's run to the 2010 Sweet Sixteen.

• With Seth Greenberg's ousting at Virginia Tech, due at least in part to his inability to retain assistant coaches (in addition to winning basketball games), GobblerCountry.com notes, "Greenberg's assistant coaching staff became a revolving door. In 2009, Stacy Palmore left to join Mark Fox at Georgia. In 2010, Ryan Odom (a member of Greenberg's initial staff at Tech) took off for an assistant gig at Charlotte. Bill Courtney also took the head job at Cornell, but that is of course understandable. In 2011, Adrian Autry left for an assistant job at Dayton before being immediately plucked to join his alma mater at Syracuse."  The Washington Times made a similar observation.

• Basketball B.C. lists committed Cornell recruit, Braxston Bunce (Kelowna Secondary School) Kelowna, BC, Canada, 6-11, C, as the winner of the Province's Most Outstanding Player Award.

• The Elkhart (IN) ETruth notes that Cornell recruit, Robert Mischler (Mishawaka HS) Marian, IN, 6-2, G, will participate in the 2012 Indiana Class Basketball All-Star Classic June 15-16 at the New Castle Fieldhouse.  Also with respect to Mischler, the South Bend Tribune notes he is the recipient of an academic grant.
