New Recruit - Clay Wilson.
It only took two days for forward Denton Koon to have company in Princeton's 2011 recruiting class.
Joining him is a true gym rat, 6'3" guard Clay Wilson from Lincoln Christian School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wilson made his intentions known yesterday that he will attend Princeton next fall pending admission.
Today I talked with Wilson's high school coach Teddy Owens about this gifted shooter. Exclusive quotes, numerous videos and an assortment of articles and evaluations can be found after the jump.

Please note that while the description says the audio is from WPRB's broadcast, it is actually the ESPN announcers calling the game.

YouTube potpourri IV.
A handful of videos I haven't had found the right moment to post that have been collected over this week, starting with one of 30+ brief clips from Princeton's 1998 win over UAB. Brian Earl receives a nifty left-handed Chris Young backdoor bounce pass and scores between two defenders.
