The New York Post has reported that Sade Gibbons, a rising senior at Long Island Lutheran High School, has verbally committed to play women’s basketball at Penn.
The 6-foot-1 forward chose Penn over Delaware, Davidson, Fairfield and Manhattan.
Gibbons helped the Crusaders win a state Federation Class B title two years ago and reach the finals last season. Gibbons played in 20 of the 23 games for LuHi last season.
Gibbons will be an interesting addition to the Quakers. The Post reports that though she is naturally right-handed, she goes to the hoop as a lefty.
After a 13-15 season last year, the strength of Penn's past two recruiting classes has been one of the hallmarks of coach Mike McLaughlin's tenure thus far. Gibbons will now be an addition to that legacy.
As four new freshmen were added to Penn's roster this week, one junior was removed.
Junior Marin Kukoc is no longer a member of the Penn men's basketball team. The son of the former Bulls sixth man and 1995-6 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Toni Kukoc, struggled with a back injury and did not play his freshman season, and fought for playing time in his sophomore campaign. The 6-foot-7 guard averaged 2.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per 10 minutes of playing time per game.
We have not confirmed the exact reasons for Kukoc's departure, but he is still on campus and enrolled.
Penn hasn't officially released its 2012-13 men's basketball schedule yet, but from compiling the schedules that other schools have released, we can figure it out almost in its entirety.
Of course, we do know — officially — that Penn will be participating in the NIT Season Tip-Off in Charlottesville, Va., from November 12-13 (see post), but some other gems on its schedule include Drexel at the Palestra, Penn State on the road and Butler at the historic Hinkle Fieldhouse, which opened in 1928, one year after the Palestra.
Here's a look at what we can infer on the team's non-Ivy schedule so far:
Nov. 9: vs. UMBC
Nov. 12: vs. Delaware (NIT Season Tip-Off)
Nov. 13: vs. Fairfield/Virginia (NIT Season Tip-Off)
Nov. 17: vs. DrexelNov. 28: vs. Binghamton

In light of recent events this weekend — seven interceptions between Billy Ragone and Andrew Holland — we knew it was time to bring back Mano-A-Mano.
Question: Who should start at QB moving forward: Ragone or Holland?
Mike Tony: As crazy as it sounds after watching Ragone throw five picks on Saturday, I still think he should be the starting quarterback.
Let’s face it: Lafayette has Billy’s number. Last year, he was just 8-for-23 against Lafayette with two interceptions and just 91 yards passing.
The rest of the year, he averaged almost 200 yards passing a game with almost a 60-percent completion percentage. And most importantly, he had two game-winning drives that kept the Quakers competitive late into the Ivy season.
I’ll concede that Holland is a better pocket passer. But not by much.
Ignoring the interceptions, Ragone’s stat line wasn’t terrible Saturday: 14-for-23 for 153 yards and a touchdown. What Ragone brings to the table is experience, leadership and intangibles, not to mention his ability to tuck and run. On the last drive of the Lafayette game with just over two minutes left, I would have wanted Ragone in.
David Greenbaum: It’s true that Ragone is the QB here with a first team All-Ivy selection under his belt. He earned that two years ago, but the magic of 2010 is gone.
If Lafayette has Ragone’s number based on last season, then so do Brown, Harvard, and Cornell. In the games against the league’s best teams, he threw six interceptions and only three touchdowns. He’s good in clutch moments, but that’s not an asset if he keeps throwing two picks for every touchdown he throws when there’s an Ivy crown on the line.
Holland gives the Quakers offense the downfield threat it so desperately needs. His pure pocket presence made him much more visibly comfortable than Ragone on Saturday. Ragone didn’t go through his progressions in Easton — he just locked onto Conner Scott and dared the Leopards’ veteran secondary to pick him off. And they did over and over and over again.
For coming in behind the eight ball in a hostile environment the way he did, Holland was impressive. Sure, Ragone’s legs and moxie are too valuable to throw permanently to the sideline, and there’s still room for him in the offense with a hybrid role.
But his spot as starting QB shouldn’t be considered locked down anymore. Not when there are weapons like Conner Scott, Ryan Mitchell and Lyle Marsh out of the backfield who are all capable of stretching a defense in a way that favors Holland’s style rather than Ragone’s.
MT: The whole point of Ragone’s dual-threat nature is the need for surprise. If he is only in for certain downs, then the defense will be ready for the option. Having Holland in takes away the opportunity to surprise the defense.
Also, I don’t think its fair to say Holland was put into a hostile environment. He has taken half the reps in practice and Lafayette had no film on him and no way to know what to expect out of him. Villanova will certainly be better prepared for Holland’s strong arm.
I’ll say this: If Bagnoli thinks his team will be throwing the ball 40 times, Holland may be his man. But that would be crazy. Bagnoli has three great running backs and two decent quarterbacks. He should stick with the man who has already proven himself (Ragone) and keep a balanced offense.
DG: But after much talk of opening up the passing game this year, Bagnoli put his money where his mouth is. Penn threw it 51 times, and Ragone doesn’t fit with that approach.
And just because the defense recognizes a package designed for Ragone doesn’t mean they’ll be able to stop it.
Ragone’s legs have won a few games for Penn over the years. The Quakers now have a veteran offensive line again and using Ragone as a change-of-pace QB now will keep him healthier down the stretch if Holland doesn’t pan out.
And while Holland has been taking a lot of reps in practice, he was still put into the game in a very tough position.
Holland is a confident guy. When you asked him how he felt out there, he shot back quickly, “I’m a senior, and I’ve been around the block.”
Of course Ragone’s the more experienced guy, but those have been some bad experiences lately and it’s good to see Holland’s got some moxie of his own.
Verdict:Ring the bell, no decision. It’s too early to tell how either Holland or Ragone will pan out in 2012. Only Bagnoli can decide this one, and he’s never been a fan of refereeing.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is back after a six-month hiatus and an interesting exchange with an invisible President by our series’ name sake, Clint Eastwood.
After four first-quarter interceptions put the Quakers behind, 21-0, they fought back but were unable to close the gap in a 28-21 loss (see game recap).
THE GOOD: Conner Scott and Lyle Marsh's successful return from injury. After season-ending injuries last season, Scott and Marsh looked great in their first game back. They were the Quakers’ top two receivers of the night. Scott had 12 catches for 161 yards and Marsh pulled in eight receptions for 66 yards and two receiving touchdowns. Now that opposing coaches have film on these two, these secret weapons might not be so secret anymore.
THE BAD: Billy Ragone’s first quarter interceptions. Ragone had five picks total on the night, but he looked especially off in the first quarter, throwing an interception in each of the first three drives. Take away the turnovers and the numbers look OK: 14-for-23 for 153 yards and a touchdown, plus 58 rushing yards and another touchdown. But five interceptions?! Sometimes, it seemed like Ragone was throwing to nobody.
THE UGLY: Taylor Brown's ejection. Senior nose guard Taylor Brown was ejected from the game after a blatant late hit on Lafayette quarterback Zach Zweizig in the second quarter. It will be interesting to see if he receives additional punishment from the coaching staff.
The Quakers open the season tonight at Lafayette. They have lost four of the last five against the Leopards, including a 37-12 defeat at home to open the season a year ago. Lafayette is coming off an impressive 17-14 win last weekend against William & Mary. Follow all the action below:
According to The Crimson, a letter attained by the Harvard news outlet reveals what originally caused Prof. Matthew B. Platt to suspect there was cheating on his take-home final exam.
Originally, there were only thought to be 13 plagiarisms on the test, but upon further investigation, that number has jumped north to about 125 — constituting almost half of the 279-person class. The original group of 13 is reported to have been 2012 graduates and members of the baseball team.
An unusual answer to a bonus question and an odd typo — an unnecessary space in the number "22, 500" — lie at the root of suspicion.
“I am convinced that the similarities between these papers are not the product of chance,” Platt wrote in the May 14 letter.
USA Swimming's Cullen Jones, Track and Field's Bryan Clay and Paralympic Track and Field's April Holmes are part of the United States Olympic Committee Road Show, which will be making a stop at Penn, according to a Deloitte email.
Fans will be able to hear the stories of the 2008 4 x 200 freestyle relay gold medalist and 2012 4 x 100 meter freestyle relay and 50m individual freestyle silver medalist Jones, 2008 champion in the decathlon, Clay and 2008 100m gold medalist and current bronze medalist at the 2012 games, Holmes.
This is also an opportunity for students to network with Deloitte consultants.
According to Deloitte's website, "by providing strategic insight and professional services, Deloitte helps the USOC ensure that the members of Team USA can direct all of their energy to one goal: performing at their highest level as they represent our country on the world stage."
The Road Show will send a rotating crew of athletes around the country to share their experiences, while also promoting the consulting firm and USOC sponsor.
The Olympians will be at the Palestra Thursday, September 27, from 6-7.
Penn will play at the John Paul Jones Arena at the University of Virginia, one of four regional sites for the tournament. The Quakers play Delaware on Monday, Nov. 12 at 9:30 p.m., following the opening game between Virginia and Fairfield. Fairfield is, of course, coached by former Princeton player and head coach Sydney Johnson.
The losers from Monday's games will play in a consolation game Tuesday at 4:30 p.m., followed by the championship game.
The winner of the South Regional will go on to play in the semifinal game at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Nov. 21. The championship and consolation games will be held Friday, Nov. 23.
Teams that fail to advance out of regional play will participate in third- and fourth-round doubleheaders on Monday, Nov. 19 and Tuesday, Nov. 20 at the three remaining schools with the highest seeds.
The tournament is NCAA-exempt, meaning the Red and Blue will again play 31 games this season rather than 28.
Penn fans who won't be able to make it to see the Quakers in Charlottesville, Va., are in luck, as all the games will be carried on WatchESPN.
UPDATE (6:37 p.m.) — The Boston Herald is reporting that Harvard basketball co-captain Brandyn Curry is also expected to withdraw from the university today and miss the upcoming basketball season.
8:39 a.m. — News broke early this morning that Harvard basketball captain Kyle Casey is set to withdraw from Harvard this year. He is implicated in a cheating case with about 130 other students from a Government class last semester. A student told The Crimson more than half of the 279-person class played a varsity sport, though not all of them are necessarily being investigated.
While the investigations could take until November, athletes involved have been advised to withdraw from the university for the term or year in order to save eligibility. Multiple sources have told SI.com that Casey is choosing to withdraw, and additionally Brandyn Curry and another unnamed basketball player are involved in the case and under review.
The deadline to withdraw is today, so stay tuned for more updates as we will surely see some recognizable names save themselves a year of eligibility. Those who do not withdraw and are later found to be guilty -- no matter at what point during the season -- will lose a year of eligibility. Wins could be vacated from a team if a player is later deemed ineligible.
Former Penn goalkeeper Emily Leitner may have already graduated, but she's still racking up rewards.
The 2012 graduate and unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection was recently named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Academic Honor Roll for the 2011-12 year. She was one of two Quakers to earn to honor, along with attacker Lizzy Price.
It was not the first classroom-related award for Leitner, who was named Academic All-Ivy in 2011. Penn's starter for all 17 games in each of her last two seasons, the goalkeeper led the Red and Blue to a 20-14 record and two NCAA tournament appearances over that span. Over the summer, she tried out for the U.S. National team and made the final round of tryouts before missing the final cut.
Price, who appeared in five games and made one start as a junior in 2012, scored her first collegiate goal against Drexel last spring. She is not currently listed on Penn's 2012-13 roster.
It's officially game week for the Penn football team, so in recognition of that I present 30 Seconds with Jeff Jack: The Extended Version.
If you like what he has to say, wait until Friday's football supplement … I have a whole feature coming about Jack, Lyle Marsh and Brandon Colavita. You'll love the name they have for themselves.
College Football Hall of Famer and former Penn offensive lineman George Savitsky passed away this week after a battle with pneumonia, CSNPhilly.com's Reuben Frank reported.
Savitsky was 88.
A four-time All-American with the Quakers from 1944-47, Savitsky helped lead the Red and Blue to 24-7-1 record over that span. In his senior season, in which he played alongside all-time great Chuck Bednarik, Penn went 7-0-1 and finished No. 7 in the nation. It was the last time the Quakers finished the season with a Top 25 ranking.
A multi-sport athlete, Savitsky also played on the wrestling team, threw shot put on the track and field team and served as a manager for the basketball team. Prior to attending Penn, he served for two years in the U.S. Marines, and upon graduation, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round. He played just 24 games across two seasons in the NFL — 1948 and 1949. The Eagles won the title both years.
Leaving professional football after the 1949 season, he chose to attend the Penn School of Dental Medicine. He enjoyed a successful career as dentist and an oral surgeon in South Jersey.
After being enshrined in the College Football H.O.F. in 1991, Savitsky was finally inducted into the Penn Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998.
You can read my column and Mikey Wiz's notebook on thedp.com/sports, but here are a few tidbits about the upcoming season we couldn't fit in:
Alternate uniforms: The Quakers went all- Nike in their gear, including new alternate uniforms. Senior WR Joe Holder discussed it a bit on his video yesterday, but here's some more from him:
Quite frankly I love them, they’re pretty stylish to say the least. With all the new gear that Nike gives, they finally got a little modern in their pro cut, which is great for receivers- it makes it easier to catch … It’s all about if you look good you play good, and the team seems to like the uniforms so we can’t complain.
Everybody pretty much enjoys all Nike stuff, especially with the warmup gear, it becomes more of loungewear too because it’s pretty stylish as opposed to some of the other stuff. But we won’t complain, just happy to get what’s given to us. Nike, they’re the best in the business, so if we switch to all Nike there’s nothing wrong with that.
No word yet on when the Quakers will wear the red alternates, though.
With four starters returning to the offensive line, the talk of Media Day was replacing the loss of Greg Van Roten, who is currently playing with the Green Bay Packers. Both coach Al Bagnoli and offensive line coach/offensive coordinator Jon McLaughlin spoke about it, but McLaughlin's thoughts are really worth a read:
You’re never gonna replace one superstar with another guy of equal experience or maybe even equal talent, but what we really need to do is have those four guys coming back all improve their game exponentially and then that will be a better unit as a whole, so will we have Greg Van Roten out there? No, but we’ll have a good football player out there, and if the other four guys who are coming back all kind of take their game up, then collectively, I’m pretty excited about our starting five right now. I think we have a better offensive line to date than we did a year ago in preseason and just because we have some guys with playing experience and some guys with some confidence, and last year we were replacing six seniors – four starters and two backups – and so this year we’re replacing one starter and a backup and so we’re a much more veteran, much more confident offensive line. I think it’s showing so far in preseason camp, and that’s been good and that’s been fun. So we won’t replace Greg with one guy, but hopefully the sum of the parts will be better than what it’s been.
In addition to the task of reclaiming the Ivy trophy, Penn must first get through a tough non-conference schedule. This year they play two CAA teams (perennially the top conference in the FCS) in Villanova and William & Mary. Here's what QB Billy Ragone had to say about the early challenges:
I think if anything it’s going to help us. It’s going to prepare us for the Ivy League schedule. We’re going to prepare for these games just like we would an Ivy League game. You know, there’s always going to be injuries, dings and knicks and stuff but you just hope that nothing major to any major contributors is going to happen and some of that stuff is out of our control and if it happens, it happens and we’re going to have to deal with it. We obviously hope that it doesn’t happen to any of our players offensively and defensively.
And of course, my favorite part of media day involved filming a few segments of 30 Seconds With (which actually lasted about three minutes each). The print graphic is in Wednesday's paper, but you can watch the full video of lone senior captain Brandon Copeland below. Enjoy!
Despite this morning's Philadelphia rain, my co-editors and I went out to Franklin Field for the annual Penn football Media Day. It's a fun and informative morning for all, and this year was no exception.
Mike Wisniewski will have the full rundown in Wednesday's NSO Issue (online Tuesday night) and I have a column of my own coming, but until then, enjoy this inside look from senior wide receiver Joe Holder. He discusses Penn's new alternate uniforms (a big hit among the players) and the story of the day: Billy Ragone's facial hair. Thanks to @PENNfb and the Penn Sports Network for the footage.
If you missed our photos today, check them out on Twitter (@dailypennsports) and Instagram (dailypennsports). We'll have some more video footage and photos up soon, as well.
Arizona State assistant coach Scott Pera is slated to leave the Sun Devils and take an assistant coaching position under Penn basketball coach Jerome Allen, ASUDevils.com reports.
Pera served as an assistant under ASU head man Herb Sendek since the summer of 2007, helping guide the Sun Devils to three postseason appearances — one in the NCAA tournament and two in the NIT. He will replace the departed Dan Leibovitz, who officially resigned from his position Thursday to join the Charlotte Bobcats as a player development coach.
"The initial involvement was through a mutual friend with coach Allen and I," Pera told ASUDevils.com. "Basically, it was, 'hey, this seems to me to make tremendous sense,' it intrigued me from there, Jerome did his homework on me, then connections come into play, people that know me and know Jerome connected the dots, we talked through it, had a lot in common, I became more interested and it led to us coming to an agreement."
Prior to his stint at Arizona State, Pera led Artesia High School of Lakewood, Calif. to the state title in 2006. There, he coached Oklahoma City Thunder star James Harden. Pera would again coach Harden with the Sun Devils from 2007-09.
The move east brings Pera, a Hershey, Pa. native and Penn State graduate, closer to home. His wife, Alyssa, is also a Penn graduate.
"A number of pieces are in place at Penn that make it attractive, with the head coaching placement being big and something we're very aware of," Pera said. "To be one step closer to that and my wife's alma mater, and be under another terrific coach in a city we love, all those pieces made it come together."
Assistant coach Dan Leibovitz could be heading to the Charlotte Bobcats to take a position as a player development coach.
Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports was the first to report the news, via Twitter Thursday morning:
However, Leibovitz has not yet signed a contract with the Bobcats.
Leibovitz has a longtime friendship with Mike Dunlap, who was hired as the head coach of the Bobcats on June 20.
Leibovitz graduated from Penn in 1996 and rejoined his alma mater in April 2010. Prior to his return, he was the head coach at the University of Hartford for four seasons. He also served as the top assistant coach at Temple under John Chaney for 10 seasons.
Head coach Jerome Allen may be forced to find another new assistant coach to replace Leibovitz. Penn already hired two new assistants earlier this summer, Ira Bowman and Jason Polykoff, to take over for Mike Martin and Rudy Wise, respectively.
A year ago, expectations were huge for the Penn football team. The media picked the Quakers to finish first in the league and threepeat as Ivy champs. Instead, a team that lost 33 seniors from the previous season finished with a 4-3 league record and ended up in a four-way tie for second place.
After a disappointing 2011, coach Al Bagnoli said his team has a different mindset coming into this season.
"I think our focus is much better, our work ethic is much better, I just think our attention to detail is much better," he said during Tuesday's Ivy League media teleconference. "Coming off a year where we graduated 33 seniors, it was probably unrealistic to think that we were going to go and not have any snags along the way ... It was a learning experience for us and a great reminder of how fragile everything in this league actually is and how hard you have to work. It was a life lesson starting with me on down, and I think our kids really went after the offseason program and I see them now as being excited and motivated and focused. Hopefully that translates to getting things back on track."
Penn has 17 returning starters, and Bagnoli emphasized that their experiences and maturity will greatly benefit the team this season.
"We have the chance to be a pretty solid football team," he said. "We have a lot of kids back at virtually all the positions. I think we have as good a chance as anyone else to be a pretty solid football team and we've got to put it all together."
Check after the jump for more from Bagnoli about the upcoming season.
On quarterback Billy Ragone's improvement:
I think he had a pretty solid year last year. His numbers improved and I don’t think we played well around him, but he improved. He wasn’t as dynamic of a runner as he was the year before, but I think you can kind of see the maturity and his understanding of the leadership role, and just his improvement overall as a quarterback, in terms of throwing and in terms of being the field general.
He’s worked very hard and he’s come back on campus. He looks good physically. He’s coming off a really good spring. He’s a very dynamic athlete so he gives you some of those intangibles and that ability to kind of hurt you not only throwing the ball but also running the ball. And he’s a kid now that has a lot of snaps under his belt, so we’re optimistic that he can become one of the better, if not the best, quarterback in the league. Now, we just have to get some consistency from him and out of the players around him.
On the status of running back Lyle Marsh:
Lyle was cleared to play in the spring and he responded really well to spring workouts. We were cautious with him and didn't let him go all-out for 12 practices but we did put him in some contact scenarios.
He's such a positive kid that it's great to have him out there. He brings an energy and a great deal of versatility to our offense. Each of the last two seasons, we've lost him to injuries early in the year in non-league games and both times they were season-ending injuries. We are a deeper, more versatile, better team with Lyle than we are without him. We're hopeful that he can take the improvements he made in the spring into the fall and stay healthy the entire year because he's obviously a talented kid.
On incoming freshman Cameron Countryman:
We’re obviously delighted to have him. He was a great high school player and has tremendous versatility, not only as a receiver but also as a returner. He’s an explosive player and hopefully can stretch the field for us. We’re going to give him an opportunity to get on the field. It’s going to be up to him as to whether he can take that next step as quickly as we hope he can. It’s really going to be up to him.
We think we recruited well and we’re certainly pleased to have him and hopefully he can take that next step quickly and can provide that game-breaking ability we’re all looking for.
Being picked to finish second in the Ivy League this season in the preseason media poll could be a blessing for the Penn football team. In each of the past three seasons, the team predicted to be runner-up for the Ivy title has gone on to win the championship.
The Quakers were chosen to finish second in 2009 and 2010, when they won back-to-back titles. Last season, they finished in a four-way tie for second in the league.
The Red and Blue return 39 letterwinners this year, including 17 starters, and are much more experienced than last year's team. However, they will have to prove themselves, especially against league-favorite Harvard, who beat Penn, 37-20, a season ago.
Harvard received 13 of 17 first-place votes and had a total of 132 points. Penn received two first-place votes and finished with 111 points.
This is the 20th consecutive season in which Penn has been selected in the top four of the preseason poll.
Here are the full predictions:
1. Harvard (13)
2. Penn (2)
3. Cornell (2)
4. Brown
5. Yale
6. Dartmouth
7. Columbia
8. Princeton
Where do you expect the Quakers to finish this season?
I had the chance to speak with 2012 graduate Zack Rosen today, a day after he announced that he signed a contract with Israeli team Hapoel Holon. He's very excited about playing pro ball, but he was sure to clarify that his going to Israel was not a sign that he has given up his dream to play in the NBA.
"By no means am I surrendering," he said.
Rosen didn't want to play a waiting game, and he knew that was happening with NBA teams. So before it was too late, he signed a one-year deal with Hapoel Holon. Since it's just a one-year contract, ending when the season does in May, Rosen could then opt to return to the United States to continue pursuing his ultimate goal. He can attend mini-camps and play in summer leagues, just as he did this summer, and again make a decision based on the interest.
Rosen has been to Israel only once, but it was the experience of a lifetime as he participated in the Maccabi Games for the U.S. It was also enough to make him want to return. Since the summer after his freshman year at Penn, he's wanted to go back and play professionally. Both sides expressed interest before Rosen finally signed his deal.
When Rosen arrives in Israel — Holon is a suburb of Tel Aviv — he will begin training camp for a month and a half. He will also begin making Aliyah, a process which grants citizenship to Jews and will allow his team to sign another American player. But making Aliyah is also a religious and spiritual commitment. Rosen said he won't make Aliyah for just basketball reasons: "It's a good thing and something I've wanted," he said.
He won't be alone in Israel, despite the seven-hour time difference. His dad has a half-sister who lives near Tel Aviv. Penn grad Sarah Friedman is also playing soccer in Tel Aviv and has already reached out to him.
And the fans? "Absolutely sick," he said. According to Rosen, the league is getting better and better, and he likes that his team is up-and coming. From what he knows about the fans and atmosphere, he compared it to Cameron Indoor."Part of [that fandom] is the soccer culture ... it infiltrates into basketball."
While Rosen had a lot of options once he chose to play overseas, it ultimately came down to a gut decision. "I liken it to college recruiting ... There are no perfect decisions," he said. But he liked the coach and his reputation and feels like he made the best decision. In the end, though, above all else, he's a rookie again.
"It's kind of like starting over, you have a clean slate, your reputation is sidelined."
Knowing Rosen, it shouldn't take too long to adjust and create a new reputation for himself.
