Tigerhawk's worlds collide 

By Charlottesvillain at 4/18/2007 12:43:00 PM
This kind of thing happens so rarely it is noteworthy. It seems that incoming Hawkeye basketball coach Todd Likliter has closed the deal on his first basketball recruit, point guard Jeff Peterson from DeMatha High School in Hyattsville, Md.

Peterson, 6-foot, 185 pounds, is expected to provide immediate help at the point guard position and allow Tony Freeman and Justin Johnson to spend more time at their more comfortable, off-guard positions.

He reportedly is a top academic student and initially committed to Princeton last fall.

Of course Princeton might have stood a better chance if it had a basketball coach at all.

A good result. The Tigers probably would have lost him anyway, so it is just as well he landed with the Hawkeyes.

Hurray! They Hawks certainly need a good point guard. Hopefully Mr. Peterson will fit the bill. Also, this may help Lickliter keep his "halo" a bit longer while he molds the team to his will.

But will Tyler Smith stay...

They are talking on the message board at Rivals that Smith wants a hardship transfer to Tennesee.
