Find of the week goes to Brian Earl for this scouting report his father gave him of Rutgers' attempts to prepare for Bill Bradley and the rest of the 1964-1965 Princeton Tigers. Of course, Bradley scored 35 points in this game and the orange and black led by 27 at halftime. So much for scouting reports!
The Padres' season concluded last night with a 7-6 win at Milwaukee. For the year Will Venable hit .264 in 148 games (equalling his career high) with 26 doubles, eight triples, nine home runs and 24 stolen bases. His strikeout/game ratio also dropped for the third straight season.

Here's the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, Dan Mavraides in the locker room following Princeton's NCAA Tournament loss to Kentucky. Not sure why this only got uploaded two years after the fact.
Four additional videos - heavy on footage of Tiger recruits - follow after the jump.
Michelle Obama spoke at a fundraiser in Princeton yesterday and attendees included her brother Craig, Mitch Henderson and Steve Mills along with current players Chris Clement and Mack Darrow.
The previous day Craig Robinson visited an Obama campaign office in Philadelphia.
As each mentioned via Twitter, Tiger recruits Spencer Weisz and Pete Miller were both on campus this past weekend for their respective official visits.
It looks like paying for parking at Jadwin Gym for basketball games, which was cast off early into last season, is back for the entirety of the 2012-13 slate. The information published by Princeton's Transportation & Parking Services was in error. There's no charge for basketball parking this season, I'm happy to report.
Chris Young made perhaps his final home start at Citi Field yesterday and while Young will likely end his campaign winless in Queens, he again turned in a performance worthy of victory. Young threw six innings of five hit baseball, allowing one earned run while walking two and striking out five. With a walk off single in the bottom of the ninth, the Mets would sweep Miami 3-2.
Northwestern guard JerShon Cobb was suspended from the Wildcats for a year "due to violations of team policy." He will remain enrolled in school.

Before she concludes her term, Tilghman will meet with the Princeton Football Association about issues that could also impact basketball such as transfers, "likely" letters and academic standards for athletes.
Georgetown's John Thompson III delivered an encouraging message at Monday's Coaches 4 Character program.
The Daily Princetonian recaps the Tigers' trip to Spain, with quotes from Chris Clement.
In his most recent outing Chris Young (4-8) threw 6.2 innings of solid baseball, but included in his eight hits surrendered were three solo home runs as New York lost 3-0 at Milwaukee. Young, who is looking to stay healthy, received a significant financial bonus for exceeding 100 innings pitched on the season.

Last week 6'4"+ 190 lb guard/forward Spencer Weisz from Florham Park, who attends Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, NJ verbally committed to Princeton.
I've subsequently been able to talk on the phone to Pirates head coach Kevin Williams and assistant Gregory Walsh about Weisz, where I learned about how a former Princeton reserve aided the current Tiger staff in Weisz' initial discovery and what Ivy League Player of the Year from another school he may compare to down the line.
Exclusive quotes and analysis from two men who have developed this Tiger recruit the past three seasons plus links to player evaluations, photos and videos of Weisz can be found after the jump.

Will Venable drove in three for San Diego in yesterday's victory over St. Louis. The Padres have won 14 of their last 18 games.
The landscape of both the 2012-13 and 2013-14 Ivy League men's basketball seasons have potentially changed significantly with the news that Harvard co-captain and top returning scorer Kyle Casey will withdraw from school for a year after being embroiled in an academic cheating scandal. Fellow co-captain Brandyn Curry has also been implicated but has yet to make a decision on his future.
C. Young (4-7) - 6.0 IP 5 H 2 ER 4 BB 7 K 4.39 ERA. 97 pitches, 56 strikes.
Chris Young still hasn't won a game at Citi Field this season, but he pitched well versus Atlanta yesterday. However the Braves yet again trumped Young's Mets, this time in 10 innings.

I believe I missed this piece on Dave Blatt the first time through.
As princetonbasketball.com reported yesterday, 6'4.5" and 220 lb Hashim Moore has committed to Princeton, but will first take a post-graduate year at The Hun School before joining Mitch Henderson's 2013 recruiting class, pending admission.
Moore is a prospect who possesses greater strength and athleticism than your typical Ivy League guard or small forward with a high level of explosiveness attacking the basket according to those who have seen him play, but also has a fairly significant weakness in his game that he will need to improve upon for success on the collegiate level.
In the past day I had a chance to talk with both Marty Seidlin, Moore's former coach at Cardinal Gibbons - a private high school in Fort Lauderdale - and Moore's coach-in-waiting Jonathan Stone at Hun.
Exclusive quotes and analysis from two men who have watched the latest Tiger recruit more in person than almost anyone reading this piece plus links to player evaluations and videos of Moore can all be found after the jump.
You may remember that several months back there was an article about a guard from Florida who claimed an "offer to play basketball at Princeton."
Well, Moore is now in Mercer County - instead attending The Hun School for a post-graduate year and princetonbasketball.com can confirm he plans to enroll at Princeton next fall pending his admission.
Moore is an explosive 6'4" dynamo who should be an exciting addition to Mitch Henderson's ever-expanding 2013 recruiting class.
Before leaving Florida, Cardinal Gibbons High School held a signing ceremony for Moore, where he proudly donned a Princeton cap.
As I wait to hear back from Moore's once-and future-coaches in Fort Lauderdale and at the Hun School down the road, enjoy a few video packages after the jump.
princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
