Answer: California and Florida.
Question: What are the home states of Dartmouth's two newest recruits?
Tweeting their intentions to continue their athletic and academic pursuits in Hanover are Marquist Allen, a 6-foot-4, 265-pound defensive lineman from Davis High in Davis, Calif., and Tyson McCloud, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound outside linebacker/safety from North Broward Preparatory and Coconut Creek, Fla.

Here's another way of looking at the class so far, with best-guess at positions:
OFFENSIVE LINE
Josh Balara
Thomas Hartnett
Nick Schwitzgebel
Ethan Sipe
TIGHT END
Jack Dyett
Ross Parrish
WIDE RECEIVER
Isaac Boston
Paxton Scott
Jarmone Sutherland
TAILBACK
Tyler Green
QUARTERBACK
Devon Lingle
Wade Williams
DEFENSIVE LINE/END
Marquist Allen
Dario Arazi
Gannon McCorkle
Dylan Lacroix
Derrell Porter
LINEBACKER/NICKEL
Tyson McCloud
DEFENSIVE BACK
Vachon Raye
Cameron Maddox
Leonard St Gourdin
Green Alert Take: Given what we know of the class to date, the impact of graduation and of injury, the expectation would be that tailback is a point of emphasis the rest of the way. Linebacker and punter as well.
