A Few Recruit Links

Links on Dartmouth's early decision offensive linemen (in alphabetical order)...

Austen Fletcher, 6-2, 285 St. Anthony's HS, Melville, N.Y.
Pat Leahy, 6-3, 285 Brooks School, North Andover, Mass.

If you are a regular reader of this blog you know Dartmouth and Drake talked last year about scheduling a game in Chicago. With a new coach in place, Drake is looking at upgrading its schedule and perhaps scheduling an Ivy League (or Patriot or NEC) team according to this story in the Des Moines Register.

Two players Dartmouth faced this fall are on the College Sporting News Fabulous 50 team, although neither is an Ivy Leaguer. The CSN describes the Fabulous 50 team this way:
"Unlike other All-American teams, the CSN honor’s squad is designed to be like a real team, capable of taking the field and competing in a game. It includes everything from quarterbacks, who can run or pass and often-overlooked fullbacks, to long snappers and other special teams performers."
The Dartmouth opponents named: UNH quarterback Ricky Santos and Colgate linebacker Mike Gallihugh. Find the full team here.

The Green Alert blog has several times posted stories about former Dartmouth and Arizona Cardinals linebacker Zack Walz starting a company in Phoenix that helps match up student-athletes and colleges. As it turns out, he's not the only former Ivy League and NFL player who has a company that does that kind of thing. Princeton alum and former Washington Redskin Ross Tucker runs Go Big Recruiting.

And finally ... that certain Hanover High sophomore won the 3,000 meters yesterday at Leverone Field House over a field of more than 25 schools from as far away as Nashua, N.H., and Fair Haven, Vt., (on the New York border). She roared from behind on the first turn of the final lap and won by six seconds. The time qualified her for the state championships by more than 30 seconds.
