RADNOR — Jackson Hicke was busy working in early July, so he missed the call from Cooper Mueller.

When he finally called back his Radnor boys basketball teammate, Hicke got news that brought a smile to his face. Mueller, a midfielder on Radnor’s state title-winning lacrosse team, had committed to Princeton, where Hicke had pledged his basketball future just a week earlier.

“I was like, that’s awesome,” Hicke said at practice Monday. “He could go wherever he wanted to go in the country, and I knew his family history there and it’s a great school. I’m super pumped to be able to spend another four years with him.”

Before their adventures in the Ivy League, the Radnor teammates have business to attend to on the court, a culmination years in the making. A core of Raptors connected since elementary school have grown together, some contributing to varsity since their freshman years. That group is now a nine-strong senior class, led by a quartet of college players.

Hicke’s future is set at Princeton, a possibility he’d hoped for early in his recruitment.

“I think I knew early on in the recruiting process that if there was a possibility, I definitely wanted to go to the Ivy League,” he said. “Just a great education that sets you up for life, and it’s a competitive league, Princeton’s usually pretty good and can compete for a league title. I think it’s a great dynamic where I could potentially play in the tournament and get a top-three education in the nation.”

Point guard Danny Rosenblum has signed with Rochester University. Swingman Charlie Thornton is fielding Division II and III offers, while Jackson Gaffney, a 6-5 senior transfer from St. Joseph’s Prep, is getting low Division I interest and Division II pursuit.

Add in Cliff Smith, a freshman at Cabrini, and Washington & Lee junior Jack D’Entremont, and the Raptors have become a significant cultivator of talent under coach Jamie Chadwin. It’s particularly impressive for what is traditionally a lacrosse school, with both Mueller and junior Michael Savadove (Harvard) committing to top Ivy lacrosse programs.

Mueller’s recruitment was a whirlwind. He embarked with family connections in his back pocket – dad Kit was a Princeton hoops standout, and his older sister, lacrosse All-Delco and basketball 1,000-point scorer Ellie, plays on the Tigers’ lacrosse team. But his sensational junior season, as the Raptors repeated as PIAA Class 3A champs, led to a brief but torrid recruitment where he garnered interest from national powers like Notre Dame and North Carolina.

Ultimately, Princeton is where he felt at home. His Instagram announcement of his commitment, pictured as a toddler at a Princeton hoops game, underscores the link.

“When I went to Princeton, I was like, wow this is where I want to be,” Mueller said. “I want to set my own path, but I think I can do that while I’m there. … It’s great to have some familiarity with the school, but I find I can still be my own person there.”
