When former quarterback Josh Cohen '09 was in Hanover and his lanky kid brother Jake was in town, the two could often be found playing pickup ball in Leede Arena. Jake, who would have looked pretty good in green and flirted with going to Penn, ended up instead a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year as a skilled 6-foot-10 standout at Davidson. Currently playing for the Phoenix Suns summer league team, the younger Cohen recently signed a multi-year contract with Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv of the Israeli Super League. From a story in the Times of Israel:Cohen grew up in the Philadelphia suburb of Berwyn, Pennsylvania in an athletic family. His older brother, Josh, played football at Dartmouth College, and his father had been a basketball player at Haverford College.
