4 P.M. — Hummer Likely to Princeton

According to the article published a couple of days ago, Ian Hummer (son of Princeton grads Ed Hummer and nephew of John Hummer) will likely head to Princeton. Not that you couldn't see it coming. Hummer, who helped anchor Gonzaga's frontcourt en route to winning every under the sun and a national ranking in 2007-2008, the rising senior is looking "mostly in the Ivy League."

Ed and John Hummer, both 6-foot-9, were both were perennial All-Ivy League standouts, with Ed helping Princeton (and Bill Bradley to the 1965 Final Four). John Hummer was the 15th pick overall by the Buffalo Braves in the 1970 NBA Draft. Ed Hummer played in the ABA.

Ian Hummer schools of choice right now? “I like Princeton a lot. I got calls from Stanford, Michigan, UVA, but Princeton, its pretty far up there,” the a 6-foot-6, 220-pound forward was quoted as saying. Could he join former teammate Max Kenyi at Harvard? Ohhh, the drama.
