My sources have told me that James Madison assistant Colin Hartman is headed to Columbia where he will join the staff of first-year head coach Kyle Smith. Hartman spent one season at JMU and has had stops at Centenary, Richmond, Louisiana-Lafayette, Rice, and McNeese State. The official announcement should be made with in the next few days.

In other Columbia news, Director of Basketball Operations Seth Peloso has left the program. He has joined New York City’s Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) as its Director of Operations after spending three seasons at Columbia.
