Thursday morning readaround
Matt Griffin, younger brother of Bucknell's John Griffin, has made a decision where he will play next season.
The 5-11 point guard for St. Joseph's prep in Philadelphia has made an oral commitment to Rider, reports the Philadelphia Daily News.
In other Patriot League related stories:
Chay Rao of the Maryland Gazette takes a look at the tough transition to college ball for Lafayette freshman Michael Gruner. Rao says Gruner chose Lafayette over Bucknell and Navy because he thought he had a chance to play right away at the when Andrew Brown announced he was leaving Lafayette. That might be a bit of a stretch. During the summer, before Brown decided to return, Fran O'Hanlon talked about Marcus Harley and Derek Heckendorn as the top two candidates for the point. Gruner, O'Hanlon said then, was plan C.
Of course with Heckendorn unable to play again this season due to foot problems, Gruner might have gotten some backup minutes if Brown had not come back.
If Gruner was considering Bucknell, it would likely have been as a walk-on. The Bison's three scholarships were already spoken for before last season started, due to early commits from Stephen Tyree, Patrick Behan and Zach Evans. It is possible the Bison talked to gruner about the roster spot now held by walk-on George Medrano.
It is also unclear if Gruner is actually a scholarship kid at Lafayette, as the story claims. As we reported when his commitment was announced in May, the Leopards already had commits from three players believed to be the recipients of Lafayette's three available full rides.
Any Ivy League postseason tournament? It could be possible, according to the Philadelphia Daily News, which says it is on the agenda when the league's athletic directors meet today.
The Daily Press in Newport News, Va. says Bucknell is among the schools showing interest in 6-4 junior guard Michael Lyons of Woodside High.
