Princeton Recruiting Scoop
The Princeton Tigers have a whopping 8 scholarships to potentially give out this year. There are only 3 forwards and 1 center on the team currently, and two of the forwards are graduating. Word has it that Princeton is looking carefully at two HS seniors:
Antone Lovelace, a HS senior from Bronx, NY, is rated 3 starts. Ranked #450 nationally, #89 power forward.
Jamie Modrovich, HS senior from Bethlehem, PA. Unranked, 1 star player, but brings decent rebounding and good size at 6'6".
