NJHoops.com is reporting that Kyle Fitzgerald has given a verbal commitment to Frank Sullivan’s Harvard program. The 6-5 Red Bank, NJ, native averaged 16.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per contest as a junior and was named to the B North First Team. Fitzgerald becomes the first high school senior in the Ivy League’s recruiting class of 2007.

Craig Robinson officially has some help in the men’s basketball office at Brown, as the school announced the hiring of Jesse Agel on Tuesday. The 1984 Vermont graduate was previously an assistant at his alma mater for 18 seasons, and was an applicant for the school’s head coaching job when it opened up last spring following the retirement of longtime head coach Tom Brennan. Last season Agel coached boys basketball at Colchester High School just outside Burlington. Brown has yet to announce any additional hirings, though a number of Brown basketball alumni are rumored to have expressed interest in joining Robinson’s staff.
