Princeton Basketball: Previewing the Tigers’ season and Ivy League hopes
Reserves
The Ivy League almost never has transfers coming in, so it’s dependent on the incoming recruiting classes to consistently hit to keep the programs relevant. Last season, Princeton played over 15 different players. However, it was just eight who received any meaningful minutes, leaving the others to take garbage time. None of these reserves are proven players but will need to step up to provide enough depth to stay on top of the league.
Jerome Desrosiers
A 6’6″ wing from Massachusetts, this freshman is rated as a three-star recruit. His size at 6’6″ and 210 pounds makes him an intriguing piece to use for multiple positions, depending on his skill.
Alec Brennan
The 6’11”, 235-pound center could start in place of Much if the staff decides to go with experience. He played only eight minutes per game last year, but in his final season, that should increase.
Aaron Young
Similar to Brennan, Young played very little in his first three seasons and will look to play more in his final year.
Jose Morales and Vittorio Reynoso-Avila
A couple of former three-star players, these guards combined for just eight minutes per game. With so many contributors gone, these two should get more playing time.
Richard Aririguzoh
Another player who didn’t play much, the 6’9″ forward will compete for minutes in the frontcourt.
