And Another

Add 6-foot-3, 185-pound wide receiver Jonny Barrett to the list of Dartmouth recruits per his Twitter account HERE. Find his highlight video HERE.

Barrett is a senior at Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie, Wash., where he caught passes from quarterback Cale Millen, an early enrollee this month at Oregon.
AZcentral has a story about Dartmouth-bound safety Marques White HERE.
Former Big Green quarterback Brian Mann, who began his career in athletic administration at Dartmouth, is moving from Rice to Cal as the Golden Bears' senior associate athletic director and chief development officer. (LINK)

Green Alert Take: Given the importance of fundraising and the schools where he has worked how long will it be before an Ivy League school looking for an AD rings up Mann?
It's a small sample with all of Dartmouth's points coming from cross country but the fall Learfield standings purporting to identify the best athletic programs in the nation has the Big Green second among Ivy League schools. Here's how the Ivies stand nationally: (LINK)

11. Princeton
93. Dartmouth
94. Harvard
101. Columbia
103. Penn
104. Yale
150. Cornell
151. Brown

The national top 10 should be no surprise:
1. Stanford
2. Michigan
3. Penn State
4. Wisconsin
5. BYU
6. Wake Forest
7. Duke
8. Washington
9. Notre Dame
10. North Carolina State
Add to the list of Ivy League grads playing in postseason games Columbia longsnapper Patrick Eby, who will show his stuff this weekend in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. And speaking of graduating Ivy League special teamers, Yale punter Alex Galland will continue his career as a grad transfer at San Jose State.

And speaking of all-star games, Princeton's Jesper Horsted earned plaudits as one of the East-West Shrine Day 1 Standouts HERE.
Good news from Florida where old friend Roger Hughes has been rewarded with a contract extension that will keep him coaching at Stetson through 2021. (LINK) Hughes was the successful Dartmouth offensive coordinator and later head coach at Princeton. He led the Hatters to an 8-2 record last fall.
