i95ballerz.com on Gonzaga's Ian Hummer and recruiting:http://www.i95ballerz.com/story%20-%20ian%20hummer%20likely%20to%20princeton.html
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.

5 P.M. — Troy Mathieu New D.C. AD
Washington Post on Troy Mathieu's hiring: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/06/AR2008080602898.html
Grambling Bio on Mathieu: http://www.gsutigers.com/ssp/athletics-dept?s_id=3
The Post is really on top of high school coverage if Troy Mathieu's first day on the job as the D.C. public school athletic director was MONDAY, and they reported his hiring on THURSDAY.
I can't dispute that Mathieu has his work cut out for him. But he was previously Executive Director of the Nokia Sugar Bowl for four years. Impressive. At least then he can solve the money woes he didn't know about, "we didn't get into specifics on those subjects," he was quoted as saying.
Aside from the money issue (it's a big problem), signs things were wrong before— "[Mathieu] said he wants to listen to us, and that's a good thing," said Daryl Tilghman, coach and athletic director at Theodore Roosevelt. I can only imagine.
Potential anyone? "In 2002, while he was in Dallas, he started a one-day basketball tripleheader, pitting three city schools against three from the suburbs at downtown Reunion Arena. In the first year, Mathieu said, with just more than a week of planning, the event drew more than 17,000 fans and turned a profit of more than $150,000, which was split among the six schools."
Can't you smell a three-game day, including games like O'Connell-T.C. Williams (Virginia), DeMatha-Montrose Christian (Maryland) and Gonzaga-Coolidge (District). Oh, the possibilities...
*That's it for today. Until 7 a.m. tomorrow.*
