News and Notes: Saturday Edition

Below, news and notes for Saturday....

• A year ago Jamal Cherry walked onto the 2010-2011 Cornell roster following an MCL injury which sidelined Dominick Scelfo. The Florida Courier provides an update on Cherry:

TAMPA PREP DUO TOGETHER AGAIN

Tampa college basketball players heating things up in the City of Orlando/Midnight Basketball Pro-Am Summer League at Dr. J.R. Smith Neighborhood Center where NBA players, College Players and Neighborhood Streetball Legends compete.

Jay Bowie (Marist) and Jamal Cherry (Cornell) both 2010 graduates of Tampa Prep and top scorers who led their high school team to the 2010 State Championship Game are back together again with the Brandon Bolts ProAm Team. Jay is averaging 12.3 points per game and Jamal 12.6 points per game. I had the chance to watch the duo play against the "A Team” which just happens to be the team of NBA twin players Joey and Stephen Graham. While the Brandon Bolts lost the game (not by much), it was clear that both Jay and Jamal have developed this past year into true collegiate players not intimidated by the speed and size of the Pro-Am level of play. Jay Bowie had a great season with Marist seeing lots of playing time and is expected to have a major role next year. In speaking with Jamal Cherry, he indicated that he walked on to the Cornell team and did not see much playing time this past year, but has been putting in "work” this summer and is determined to compete hard this upcoming year and help the team in anyway he can. He shared, "I am going back much more stronger and confident than last year”. From what I saw in this game, Jamal had 16 points and played lock down defense, he is definitely ready for the challenge back at Cornell. Both young men are looking forward to returning to their respective teams.

News and Notes: Friday Edition

Below, some news and notes for Friday...

• In summer league action, Cornell freshman Ned Tomic is averaging 13 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for his Allan's Wolfpack team in the Cleveland Pro Am. Jake Matthews' SPK Law team fell this week to PBC in the Pittsburgh Basketball Club Pro Am championship game, 86-79. Josh Figini is playing for the Pat Madison Magic in the Howard Pulley Summer Pro League in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Among his teammates are the Timberwolves' Michael Beasley.
  

• Delaware has released its schedule and we can now announce that the Big Red will serve as the Blue Hens' home opener on November 22. Note that this game is not the season opener for Cornell. While we are still unable to release Cornell's full nonconference schedule, it is common knowledge that Cornell owes nine (9) "return" games as part of the team's home-and-away series arrangements from a year ago. Five (5) additional games will round out the nonconference slate, three (3) of which will be against BCS conference opponents. Below are the expected series return games this upcoming season.
