You know two high school football players have very similar names when a Google search for one who might be headed to Dartmouth brings up not just a story about the Big Green's interest in him, but also a note about the other one who is coming to Hanover according to published reports.If they are both in next fall's freshman class it will be two things. A little confusing. And a lot of fun for the coaches.
Stay tuned for an update if/when something turns up on the web.
In the meantime, keeps those email tips and links on potential recruits coming.

Sophomore wide receiver Victor Williams fouled on three of his jumps but still finished third in the long jump Saturday as the Dartmouth men's track team won a three-way meet with Columbia and Yale.Williams also ran hurdles in high school where he followed in the spikes of his record-setting father. Check out this story from his days back in Muskogee, Okla.
A Sports Network story headlined, Nine FCS players among early entries to draft includes John Spooney and makes it sound as if he's giving up his final year at Brown to test the NFL waters. That's simply not true. From the story:
Spooney (5-11, 185), a senior academically, had one season of eligibility remaining at Brown because he took off the 2012 season to concentrate on running track. An Ivy League sprint champion, he led the league in rushing yards (1,170) and rushing yards per game (130) this past season. He rushed for touchdowns of 93 and 94 yards in the same game against Penn, finishing the season with 10 scores on the ground.
The truth is that as a senior academically, Spooney is not eligible to return to Brown for another season. Yes, he could play as a graduate student at another school. But because the Ivy League does not allow graduate students to compete in athletics, enrolling somewhere else would be his only opportunity to continue to play since he's enrolled in school this spring. Granted, by the letter of the law he has another season of eligibility somewhere, but a student-athlete who is graduating on time is not "leaving early."
