The NCAA Tournament is winding down and new site content is accordingly slowing to a measured pace.
This strikes me as a perfect time to open the FEARSOME and MAMMOTH "Next Year" thread.
Princeton will return five of their top six leading scorers from 2012-13 including four starters and a pair of All-Ivy selections in T.J. Bray (second team) and Denton Koon (honorable mention). They also retain the services of Division I's top three point shooter, Will Barrett.
Gone is the Ivy League's Player of the Year, Ian Hummer. With the additional losses of Mack Darrow and Brendan Connolly the Tigers go from a front court-focused squad to one with a greater back court balance.
Added to the roster for the coming campaign are six recruits (read about them all here) plus a trio of scheduled returning upperclassmen in Jimmy Sherburne, Ben Hazel and Daniel Edwards. There's also the 7'2" Edo Lawrence, who was lost most of his freshman campaign due to various issues.
Harvard will be formidable. The league as a whole should be stronger from top to bottom than it was one season previous.

While it doesn't directly tie to basketball, I still wanted to acknowledge the death of Rabbi Jim Diamond, who was killed yesterday in a bizarre accident.
I knew Rabbi Diamond as a fellow WPRB DJ, through his friendship with my parents and from interviewing him about the late Marvin Bressler two years ago.
(He described Marvin perfectly with the line "He was a profound and responsible skeptic.")
Diamond was also Professor Bressler's choice to lead his funeral ceremony and it was Diamond who permitted the beautiful gesture of Bressler being buried with a basketball to occur.
Rabbi Diamond was a friend to many at Princeton and a kind, funny man. My condolences.
A funeral is scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 pm ET at the Jewish Center in Princeton.

As expected, the Nationals gave Chris Young his release yesterday. It sounds like a good number of other teams are interested in Young's services but the Mets apparently are not one of them.
