One is Coming, One is Considering

Incoming Dartmouth placement specialist (and potential punter) Riley Lyons is shown in action on this CaptureThePlayer website. Click through the rotation and you can see kickoffs (some with more than four seconds in hangtime), field goal attempts and punts. There's also a pretty thorough "player profile," page.

There's a congratulatory page from RafterProTraining here, although that Dartmouth University thing crops up again.

Dartmouth is in the running for a 6-foot-4 quarterback from Charlotte (NC) Country Day named Morgan Roberts. According to Rivals, Roberts took a visit to Dartmouth earlier this month and has offers from Ball State, Marshall, Old Dominion and Elon. (Clearly former Dartmouth assistant Pete Lembo, who just moved from Elon to Ball State, likes the QB.)

Recruiting sites say Roberts is at Marshall this weekend and will visit Ball State next weekend. You've gotta love this from one of the sites:

Marshall's coaches would love to see him end up in Green and White after it's all said and done.

Nice of them to stay that, huh? (Yeah, I know.)

Asked about the schools recruiting him, Roberts had this to say about Dartmouth:

Dartmouth is an amazing place. When I went there this summer, actually went to their camp, and threw it around a little bit. Coach Pry is an awesome coach and so is Coach Teevens. They're nice guys and just nice people all around. I was up there in the summer. It's an amazing place. Obviously academically it's the upper echelon of any school I guess. The Ivy League itself is just on its own academic (level).

Roberts attends the same high school that Dartmouth defensive lineman Julian Flamer and Derham Cato, the former Big Green defensive line standout and current tight ends coach attended.

There are junior year video highlights of Roberts here that show he can tuck the ball and run with it pretty effectively as well as throw. Find his Yahoo recruiting page here, a TV station's profile of him here and the station's video profile of him here. Roberts is analyzed in this piece by an ESPN recruiting expert.

Former defensive back Muhammad Abdul-Shakoor was third in the 60-meter dash and third in the 200, and former kickoff specialist Don Kephart was fourth in the shot put as the Dartmouth men's track team easily won a three-way meet with Maine and Vermont yesterday.

On the women's side, That Certain Hanover High Graduate carved eight seconds off her PR to finish second among freshmen in the mile. That's her in this photo.
