The Chicago Tribune has a story about 6-foot-3, 185-pound Lake Forest Academy quarterback Keelan Laidlaw that includes this:

Laidlaw is from Saskatoon, Sask., where he played hockey but stuck with football as a renegade Canadian. He came to Lake Forest Academy to get better at football and to help prepare him for the next level.

In the summer of 2015, Laidlaw attended a football camp at Dartmouth, where a coach told him he needed a year of seasoning in the states before colleges would take a serious look at him.

Speaking of quarterbacks, former Dartmouth defensive coach Joe Moglia apparently has a shortage of them at Coastal Carolina. Craig Haley writes this for STATS:

Coastal Carolina has gotten creative to fill a shortage at quarterback on the depth chart.

Graduate student Tyler Chadwick, a starter on the Chanticleers' national championship baseball team this year, has joined the roster and will begin practicing with the football team, coach Joe Moglia said Wednesday. In addition, two true freshmen who were high school quarterbacks, Jordan McRae and Ryan Lee, have moved over to the position from linebacker and wide receiver, respectively.

Yikes.

Headline from an Ivy League release:

 The Ivy League Advocates to Limit Early Recruiting of Prospective Student-Athletes

From the release:

The Ivy League, continuing its commitment to a student-centered model of Division I athletics, has proposed NCAA legislation to allow prospective student-athletes more time in the recruiting process to make the important decision of where to attend college.

“The pressure on prospective student-athletes to commit to a specific college earlier and earlier is a national issue,” said Executive Director Robin Harris. “It causes stress for prospects and their families, as they are often asked to make a life-altering decision as high school freshmen or sophomores, and sometimes even before they have started high school.

“Our goals are to elevate the national conversation about the negative effects of early recruiting, and to challenge the NCAA membership to change the culture of recruiting that forces prospective student-athletes to verbally commit before they are academically, athletically, or emotionally ready to make their college choice.”
