• Incoming Boston College recruit, Dennis Clifford (Milton Academy) Milton, MA, 6-11, C, told B.C. Athletics in an interview, "While Coach [Steve] Donahue was recruiting me, I watched a lot of the Cornell film and he really uses his big men a lot to come outside and set picks or screens. His big guys were really moving a lot in the offense and they were very involved and I really liked that. It seems like he's doing the same thing at BC."
