Random Ivy notes for 5/13
Sorry we haven't had one of these in a long time. So without further ado, here you go:
1) Penn's landed its first 2014 men's basketball recruit, as Steve Rennard has given Glen Miller a verbal commitment. The Metuchen, N.J., native plays point guard and has been given an 80 grade on ESPN.com. According to ESPN/Scouts, "He's a floor general that makes everyone around him better" and has the potential to "be a very good Mid-Major lead guard." His other top choices were Iona and Vermont.
2) We've been hearing rumors for a while, but yesterday it was officially announced that Mark Fabish has been hired as Penn's tight ends coach. Fabish is a 1997 College graduate and played wide receiver for two Ivy League championship teams.
"We have actually been targeting Mark for a long time, and we are certainly pleased to have him join the staff," coach Al Bagnoli said in the press release.
The press release was actually better than your average one so I encourage you to read it.
3) Normally we don't talk about Quakers who get all-conference weekly honors since it's normally not that impressive. But Erin Brennan was named national Rookie of the Week by womenslacrosse.com after last Sunday's two-goal, one-assist output against Fairfield in Penn's first round win.
