<p>How hard is it to get recruited by an ivy league school for basketball? They are certainly down levels of the top D1 basketball schools.</p>
<p>It’s not North Carolina or Kentucky, but it’s still legit D1 basketball. Example, Kenyatta Smith, 6’8" 260 and ranked in the top 20 HS centers nationally by ESPN, is a freshman Harvard recruit. Cornell had a deep run in the NCAA playoffs in 2009, and Princeton and Penn always have solid programs.</p>
