I think Penn will be an exception.

Just my opinion

UCLA accepted him as a transfer from Princeton.

Princeton merely let him come back and pick up where he left off. Not a “transfer” in that sense. Kind of like a leave of absence at UCLA.

Spencer Gloger. Great shooter.

Princeton has taken transfers recently in FB (the former Colorado QB Stenstrom) but not BB. As we all know they fhey have been reluctant to embrace that model for historical reasons. Not sure what the future holds in that respect as NIL takes over. They may be forced to be more involved if they want to hire good coaches.

Yale also took the Nebraska qb some years back who later applied for Rhodes while at yale,
Patrick witt.
Got accused of sexual harrassment.
Didn’t get Rhodes. Exhonerated by a tribunal.Went to Harvard law.
Ran for house of rep in my district. lost

Smart guy, however

Sort of like an annulment…lol!

I can’t believe all of the Spencer Gloger mentions on here! That kid could shoot! His 10 three-pointers in a game will probably hold as the record for a long time (unless X. beats in next year). It used to be only Penn fans (on the old board) that would bring him up to torture us Princeton fans.

That was a tumultuous time at Princeton when a brilliant stretch of basketball started to unravel. In 2000, Bill Carmody left for Northwestern, Chris Young signed with MLB and lost eligibility for college hoops due to Ivy rule, and Gloger transferred to UCLA after his freshman season.

Of the things you mention, Chris Young hurt (and still hurts) the most.

Something else happened that I didn’t want to mention (a certain then-assistant coach who was considered an essential part of the Tiger’s coaching staff headed west).

And we won a title thanks to JT III and Nate Walton stepping out
of their fathers’ shadows.

The one really good season Princeton had in the 00s

Yes but it was a long slide from the NCAA #5 seeded 1998 team that smoked UNLV and but-for-Mateen Cleaves looked like they were headed to the Sweet 16 and won 2 1/2 games a year later in the 1999 NIT and the #15 seeded team in the 2001 NCAA tournament.

actually shared two other Ivy titles in the first half
of that decade.

Only 1 ('01-'02–3 way tie with Penn and Yale) and Princeton was 16-12 that year. They also had 2 last place finishes that decade.

Outright titles in 2000-01, and 2003-04, and the shared one you list.
Since you seem to be trolling, Pennwould envy that record over the
last 15 years.
