More On QB Commitment

Thanks to a subscriber for sending along a link to a Palm Beach Post story about South Florida high school quarterback Conner Kempe's oral commitment to Dartmouth. There are a few new pieces of information from the links posted here several days ago. The story notes the 6-4, 222 Kempe was in town for the Colgate weekend, that he looked at Penn, Harvard and Dartmouth before narrowing his focus on Dartmouth and Harvard, and that he has made four visits to Hanover.

The Post page has an audio link. All it is, really, is a very well-done computer voice reading the story. It's kind of fun and will almost fool you. Someone has to tell it, however, that Division I isn't pronounced Division Eye ;-)

Missed this the first time. The Colgate newspaper has a story about the Raiders' win over the "Green Monster."

There's a poll up on the right side of the front page of the blog asking how you feel about the season after two games. Does the uptick in scoring leave you more optimistic than you expected? Or does the fact that the defense has surrendered one point less than a year ago at this time have you more pessimistic than you anticipated?

Note: I'll keep the poll up until Saturday and if there appears to be any interest, I'll throw another up next week. Because the polls I tried this summer received votes from only the smallest fraction of visitors I discontinued them. We'll see what happens this time.
