Speaking of recruiting classes, a story about the incoming Dartmouth men's basketball class can be found here. There are seven players in the class including a 3-point sniper to keep your eye on.

The Big Green has had two of the best 3-point shooters in Ivy League history in Jim Barton '89 and Greg Buth '01, but has struggled from outside the arc while finishing last in the conference for the past three years. That could change with the arrival of New Jersey sharpshooter Alex Mitola, who led the Garden State with 119 3-pointers last year for Gill St. Bernard's. Mitola made 44 percent of his triples, averaging 18.2 points and finishing his carer with 1,978 points.

The recruiting class:

• Connor Boehm, forward, 6-7, 235, Winnetka, Ill. (New Trier)
• Tommy Carpenter, forward, 6-7, 200, Greensboro, N.C. (Northfield Mt. Hermon in Mass.)
• Kevin Crescenzi, guard, 6-3, 190, Singer Island, Fla. (Benjamin School/Tilton Academy (N.H.)
• Malik Gill, guard, 5-9, 185, New Rochelle, N.Y. (Mount St. Michael Academy)
• Brandon McDonnell, forward, 6-8, 210, Jackson, N.J. (Jackson Memorial)
• Alex Mitola, guard, 5-11, 165, Florham Park, N.J. (Gill St. Bernard’s)
• Matt Rennie, forward, 6-8, 220, North Brunswick, N.J. (Rutgers Prep)

(In case you were wondering, Barton is fifth all-time among Ivy players in 3-pointers made with 242 despite the triple not being introduced until his sophomore year. His 98 3-pointers as a senior are second all-time for a single season in the Ivies. He shot 45.4 percent from long range in his career. Buth is sixth all-time in the Ivy League with 240 3-pointers. No other Dartmouth player is in the top 20.)

It might be in flux but the Colonial Athletic Association football means business. The powerhouse conference has already posted its 2012 preseason football guide. There are just three Ivy-CAA games this fall: Penn-Villanova, Penn-William & Mary and Brown-Rhode Island.
