The Charlotte Observer reports former Harvard commitment Frank Ben-Eze has signed a national Letter of Intent to attend Davidson. The highly regarded 6-10 big man created a major stir when he committed to Harvard back in October.

According to the Corvallis Gazette Times, former Brown assistant Douglas Stewart will join Craig Robinson as an assistant on his staff at Oregon State.

The status of the other two members of last season’s Brown staff — Jesse Agel and Isaac Willis — is unknown.
