Cornell's Jon Jaques playing overseas

 

Came across an interesting SI.com article by former Cornell basketball player Jon Jaques. The guard averaged 6.7 points for the Big Red last year during their incredible run to the Sweet 16. Now, he plays for Ironi "Eldan" Ashkelon in Israel. Penn's own Zack Rosen told me over the summer he'd love to play ball in Israel after graduation, so perhaps he could learn a bit from Jaques' experience as detailed in the article. Jaques talks about the adjustment overseas, using new media to keep in touch with those back in the States, and how he almost got enlisted into the Israeli army!
