Princeton’s Scott Makes Surprise Cuts: Princeton head coach Joe Scott surprised team members by announcing that junior reserves John Reynolds and Mike Rudoy have been cut from the Tigers basketball team. Three other players, Justin Conway, Zach Woolridge, and Max Schafer also received warnings from Scott, as he tries to reduce his 19-player roster. Schafer, a junior point guard who appeared in 25 games last season, was originally cut, and then was later reinstated. Because the Ivy League schools do not have athletic scholarships, there is no NCAA-mandated roster limit (only a scholarship limit), though the Ivy League limits travel teams to 15 players. With the cuts, the Tigers stand at 17 players with five recruits signed for next season’s squad. Princeton opens November 14th against Drexel in the NIT Season Tip-Off. [10/24/05]
