Wysocki quits Tigers; Gloger re-enrolls
Former Ivy League Rookie of the Year Konrad Wysocki has left the Princeton men's basketball team.
The 6-foot-7 forward played in 10 games for coach John Thompson's squad this season, averaging 6.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 17.8 minutes per game. He scored a season-high 15 points in a Dec. 2 game against UMBC.
The Lollar, Germany, native was awarded Rookie of the Year honors in 2001 after averaging 5.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.
Spencer Gloger, who was forced to leave the Tigers squad last season after being declared academically ineligible, has re-enrolled at Princeton for the spring semester. It is uncertain whether he will rejoin the basketball team after departing last February.
Gloger began his collegiate career at Princeton, where he scored 12 points per game. After the departure of coach Bill Carmody at the end of his freshman year, Gloger transferred to UCLA.
However, Gloger never played a game for the Bruins, due to NCAA rules which require transfers to sit out a season.
The junior then transferred back to Princeton during the 2001-02 school year, where he again was forced to sit out.
Before Gloger was removed from the team last year, he led the Tigers in scoring, averaging 15 points per game.

Two Ivy League alums win Super Bowl rings
Though neither were active for Sunday's game in Houston, two former Ivy League football standouts -- wide receiver Chas Gessner and offensive lineman Jamil Soriano -- earned Super Bowl rings with the Patriots.
Gessner, who graduated last year from Brown, spent much of the season recovering from a preseason injury. He was a regular member of the practice squad, placed on the active roster for a regular season game and traveled to Houston with the team.
Soriano, a Harvard graduate, signed with the Pats.' practice squad on Dec. 16. He also traveled to the Super Bowl.
