To my recollection, this is easily the fewest number of names this list has ever had for Calvin in July. Certainly we don't know about all incoming freshmen, but in the age of commitment announcements on X and Instagram it seems unlikely there are a dozen more out there that we're unaware of. Are there any rumblings of JV hoops fading away at Calvin (or others in the MIAA)?

Found while glancing through the MLive Dream Teams from around the state this morning is a Calvin commit: 6'7" Hunter Krohn from Laker High School in the thumb.

The big man averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, per the article: https://www.mlive.com/highschoolsports/2023/03/meet-the-2023-mlive-bay-city-boys-basketball-dream-team.html

Perhaps those conversations will come, but there's a big difference between naming your mascot after the ethnicity and identity of the founders of the school (Hope, sort of Notre Dame) and naming your mascot after an unrelated and historically marginalized group (Cleveland baseball, Washington football).
Agreed. There's obviously a difference too between a racial slur and a genuine attempt to honor a people group.

Obviously a different situation regarding public/private institutions... but for what it's worth, Holland High School is considering moving away from the Dutch mascot for some of the same reasons.
