More mentions of a high-profile recruit to follow, but we all probably need a little change of pace at this point. To that end, here are coaches FootballScoop believes have interviewed for the vacant Cornell head coaching position:

• Kent Austin, Ole Miss offensive coordinator
• Bob Casullo, Syracuse assistant head coach, tight ends/special teams coach
• Guy Morriss, Texas A&M Commerce head coach
• Terry Shea, former Rutgers and San Jose State head coach
• Ron Vanderlin, Penn state linebackers coach
  

The Sporting News school-by-school list of players invited to the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis from Feb. 24-March 2 does not yet include anyone Dartmouth faced this year. I would have expected New Hampshire tight end Scott Sicko and Colgate wide receiver Pat Simonds to earn invitations. The guest list is still fluid, so we shall see.

Former defensive back Muhammed Abdul-Shakoor tied the Dartmouth record in the 60-meter dash at the Dartmouth Relays last weekend, clocking a 6.90. The Daily Dartmouth has a story. No Big Green sprinter has ever run so fast so early in the season according to coach Sandy Ford-Centonze.

A regular reader notes that the Ivy League gets a mention in the College Football Mailbag compiled on SI.com by Stewart Mandel. Check out midway down the second page.

The Dartmouth men's basketball situation is the subject of a story in the Daily D.

OK, time for more on that other situation ...

Dartmouth early decision quarterback Cole Marcoux has been named to the New York Daily News 2009 All-City Team. (Interesting that, for all we've been hearing the last few days about the lack of top players from New York City, there are three all-city quarterbacks, but I digress ...)

New York's Riverdale Press has a story about Marcoux with a nice photo of him signing autographs at the U.S. Amry All-American game. From the story:

Now, with his high school football career officially over, Marcoux will wait to see if his performance in Texas brings in any offers from big Division I college football programs.

If not, he says he is perfectly content with honoring his original commitment to play for Dartmouth starting next fall.

Marcoux figures prominently in this analysis of the Notre Dame quarterback situation. The story says:

The out-of-nowhere 6'5" Manhattan kid with the rocket arm made his presence felt at last weekend's U.S. Army All-American bowl by out-performing fellow East team quarterbacks A.J. Derby (Iowa), Barry Brunetti (West Virginia), and Paul Jones (Penn State).
