Below, some news and notes for Tuesday...
- Not including the six freshmen expected to join the roster next season, Cornell Athletics has posted the Big Red's 2011-2012 roster online.
- Jeff Foote ('10) recently completed his rookie season with Melilla of the Spanish second division. The former Big Red center averaged a solid 7.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game during his first pro year while he was on loan to Melilla from Euro powerhouse, Israel's Maccabi Tel Aviv club. Maccabi, which reportedly has a 3-year deal with Foote, signed over the weekend, Shawn James, a 2010-2011 All Israeli Super League selection who spent this past season with Bnei Hasharon. James, a 6'10" center, played collegiately at Duquesne and it is unclear what the implications are of his signing as they relate to Foote.
