MacConnell joins the Cardinal after helping Princeton to 231 wins over 12 seasons, including four Ivy League championships (2024, 2023, 2022, 2017), two Ivy League Tournament championships (2017, 2023) and six 20-win seasons. Additionally, MacConnell helped guide Princeton to the 2023 Sweet Sixteen as a No. 15 seed, with the Tigers becoming just the fourth team in NCAA Tournament history to accomplish the feat.
An elite recruiter and developer of talent, MacConnell has coached four Ivy League Players of the Year and 19 professional players. Two players – Tosan Evbuomwan and Devin Cannady – have reached the NBA, while the Tigers combined for 29 all-conference selections during his tenure. Most recently, MacConnell recruited and mentored 2024 Ivy League Player of the Year Cade Pierce and two-time All-Ivy League honoree Xaivian Lee.

Sounds good at face value but is that an AI-generated photo of him at Maples in the announcement (since, judging from his bio, he ostensibly hadn't been here ay Maples during any regular season)? If so, that seems a little creepy on DAPER's part.
