State-by-State

OK, here you go. This is a state-by-state listing of the Ivy League's incoming freshman football players (including a few Dartmouth "walk-ons."

A few words of warning. This list was compiled in large part by using copy-and-paste to move web page rosters into a spreadsheet. Because not every school does their rosters in the same order, columns then had to be rearranged and the whole thing pasted into another spreadsheet. It was, to say the least, a pain. (I would have been better off, I now know, retyping all the rosters.)

The whole thing was then sorted and repasted into a word processing document. Somewhere along the way a bug crept into the process and some names, schools and towns were chopped off after a few letters. I found most of them – but probably not all of them – before my eyes started to glaze over. The punctuation is a little off in places (which bugs the Adrian Monk in me), but I'm going to live with it. If you email me corrections I'll make them. After I'm relatively confident I've got them all (or most of them) I'll repost.

Don't say you haven't been warned ...

2 New Names Plus Signing Day Mentions

News continues trickling in from signing day. Among the new names are Californians Dana Barbaro and AJ Dettorre.

Barbaro, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound receiver from St. Augustine High School, is mentioned in this San Diego Tribune listing of college-bound players. According to MaxPreps, he had 55 catches for 1,000 yards, an 18.18-yard average and 15 touchdowns last year. His long was 74 yards. His top game was eight catches for 174 yards and five touchdowns in a win over Mar Vista. Click here for his ESPN.com page (which lists him at 6-1, 180). Find a nice still shot of Barbaro here, and a highlight video here.

AJ Dettorre, a defensive back, is listed by MaxPreps as 5-foot-11, 175 pounds. His highlight video is available here. Also a wide receiver at Moorpark, he was selected first-team, all-league, all-county, second-team all-area and a scholastic team pick. Dettorre is quoted in the Ventura County Star:

“It’s the biggest day of my life. We go to the weight room every day and practice every day and work so hard with the dream of one day playing at the next level. To stand up there today and announce where I’m going to school was such a special moment. It shows that a dream really can come true.”

Luke Dornak and family

---

Among the players previously reported as heading to Dartmouth, Luke Dornak, a 6-foot-3, 257-pound tight end/defensive lineman from Victoria, Texas (earlier BGA mention) is quoted in this story from My Victoria Online:

"It's a great school. They're an up and coming program, they have a great team and coaching staff and I love it up there."

Dornak is a cousin of senior Matt Dornak and sophomore receiver Brad Dornak.

Fellow Texan Ellis Glaw (right) , a product of the same Austin high school (Westlake) that produced the Dornak brothers, gets a mention in this Statesman story. The story notes that Glaw is one of six Chaparral's going on to play college football with others set for Wake Forest, SMU, Air Force, Baylor and Syracuse. Another former teammates who moved last year will be playing for Ohio State. Little wonder Westlake went 13-3 last fall and made it to the Class 5A championship game.

Tulsa World has a head shot and brief on receiver Joe Dowdell of Oklahoma's Bishop Kelley High School, who it notes had 53 catches for 885 yards and 14 touchdowns. From the story:

Joe Dowdell visited Ivy League rivals Dartmouth and Princeton, but an Oklahoma connection helped him decided between the schools.

Jarrail Jackson, a former University of Oklahoma receiver, is part of the Dartmouth coaching staff, so Dowell signed with the New Hampshire school.

"It weighed in a little," Dowdell said. "He's a cool guy and he obviously knows what he's talking about."

New Orleans.com on Dartmouth-bound Sanders Davis:

With a 3.9 GPA and 29 on the ACT, Catholic High of Baton Rouge OT Sanders Davis selected Dartmouth of the prestigious Ivy League as his collegiate destination. Davis was a first team all-district pick and helped lead his team to victory in the U.S. Army Red Stick Bowl in December. Davis, 6-4 275, chose the Big Green over Harvard, Brown, Princeton, and Yale.

Receiver Peter Calvanelli of New Jersey's Delbarton School gets a mention here along with teammates headed to Harvard and Brown. Calvanelli and safety Mike Banaciski of Hillsborough are on this New Jersey.com list of recruits.

The New Britain Herald mentions that Connecticut lineman Martin Pomykala ...

"... traveled extensively before opting for Dartmouth. He looked at Stony Brook, Hofstra, CCSU, Cornell, Penn and Yale but wanted to get away.

“It was a real long process that started last year,” he said. “We went as far as Louisiana, made highlight tapes and sent them out and talked to a lot of coaches on the phone and on email.”

New Jersey defensive end Ethan Posey's "signing" is reported (with a photo of three other Lawrence High "signees") in the Trentonian. From the story:

Coach Rob Radice’s Lawrence High program had four of its seniors announce their college plans, a group led by two-time Al-CVC lineman Ethan Posey who became the second Cardinal star in two years to sign with an Ivy League school.

The Tuesday LA Times' Varsity Insider mentioned Dartmouth-bound linebacker Bronson Green joining teammates who "will sign letters of intent on Wednesday."

Quarterback Andy Gay of Jackson High School in Washington gets a mention along with a teammate heading to Air Force in a Tacoma News Tribune list of signings. He's also mentioned here.

Recruiting News And More Recruiting News

The blogger side of me wants to ration recruiting news to make visiting this page interesting each day. The former Dartmouth beat writer in me wants this to be the place to "break" the news. Who wins?

Score one for the former newspaper guy, although even waiting until this morning saw the information on several of these "commits" leak out elsewhere ;-)

So add to the Dartmouth recruit list 6-foot-3, 257-pound Luke Dornak, a tight end/defensive lineman from Victoria, Texas and St. Joseph's Catholic. If the name sounds familiar, it should. He's the younger cousin of Dartmouth senior tailback Matt Dornak and sophomore wide receiver Brad Dornak. And if the high school sounds familiar, it's the school that sent receiver Brendan Holm '08 to Dartmouth.

Also coming Dartmouth way is Daniel Barstein, a kicker from Birmingham, Ala. The 6-1, 175-pound Barstein goes to Mountain Brook, the same high school that produced receiver Andrew von Kuhn '09.

Dan Henggeler of Torrance, Calif., and West High School is reported in this Daily Breeze story about the West Torrance Lions Club Senior All-Star game as joining Chadwick's Trevor Niemann at Dartmouth.

Hunter Foraker, a 6-2, 230-pound linebacker from Mullen High School and Littleton, Colo., also has committed to Dartmouth. He was a Denver Post first team all-state pick and a member of the all-division team at the 5A level.

Ethan Posey, a 6-2, 250-pound defensive lineman, has been reported as heading this way on the BGA blog before, but now the Trenton Times is reporting his decision.

Following up on Monday's posting that Austin, Texas linebacker Ellis Glaw would be coming to Dartmouth, there's a note in The Statesman mentioning that Westlake will be sending seniors to play at Wake Forest, SMU, Baylor and Air Force next fall. A teammate who moved away last summer is headed to Ohio State and another is considering offers from Air Force and Texas-San Antonio. The story also notes that Glaw is Dartmouth's third recruit from the powerhouse program in as many years, following Brad Dornak and Chase Womack.

Barstein, Foraker, Glaw, Henggeler, Marcouz and Niemann are all listed with head and shoulder shots on this Rivals page.

And finally, it you know of any 12-year-old girls who really like High School Musical, they might like Yale as well. I suppose this Yale admissions video is well done, but embarrassing isn't nearly a strong enough word. Be sure to check it out before it disappears because there will be some proud Yalies pushing to have this thing yanked as word spreads about it, and word will spread.

What exactly the people who decided on this effort were thinking is beyond me, but oh would I have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the Yale football coaches saw this for the first time. As a friend wrote, "Well, that takes care of one halftime show for the other seven teams in the league next season."

Recruiting Note

CentralJersey.com is reporting that a 6-foot-1, 255-pound defensive tackle from Lawrenceville, N.J., named Ethan Posey was "offered" a "likely letter," by Dartmouth. The story includes this on the Lawrence High senior:

"He’s had a great senior season,” coach Rob Radice said. “Ethan brings a nasty presence to our defensive front. He’s a very good pass rusher, he gets double teamed a lot and he still has 65 tackles.”

The story says Posey is a 455-pound bench presser and has run a 4.9 40 although the ESPN recruiting site has him listed at 5.2 over the 40. There's a little more information on him, with a picture, on the Rivals site.

Five Years of College Football Discussed

Five years of college football? It probably won't happen but there's discussion among members of the American Football Coaches Association of eliminating redshirt seasons and instead giving college football players five years to play five full seasons as this story explains. The guess here is that Division I-AA would be part of that plan, but don't for a second think the Ivies would jump on board if this ever comes to pass. Not gonna happen.

UPDATE: I received an email that the link to the story about halftime at college football games possibly being cut from 20 to 15 minutes was dead. Here's the working link.

The high school rugby national championships are slated for this weekend at the beautiful new Dartmouth rugby facility. The Daily D has a comprehensive look at what's ahead. According to a subscriber, one of the teams coming this way has several players who will be looking at Dartmouth both for rugby and possibly football. ... Hopefully the rain will hold off, but the forecast is not good. After a brief respite yesterday that allowed us to get our Little League practice in, there's rain anticipated today and right through the weekend. We snuck a Little League game in between the rain drops and puddles Monday, but tonight's game could be problematic. This weekend's 3-Pitch Tournament has already been postponed, leaving us hoping the forecast is wrong and we can use the opening to make up a rainout from last Saturday. I love Seattle but I didn't know I lived there.

In 2000 the Dartmouth football team had promising 6-foot-4 freshman quarterback named Eddie Lucas. After a series of injuries he would have been the starter the next fall, but he wasn't even on the roster. The lanky shortstop had decided to focus on baseball in hopes of a professional career and that turned out to be the right decision. He was drafted out of Dartmouth in the eighth round by the Kansas City Royals and is now playing third base for the High Desert Mavericks in High-A ball. Switched to third base, he's batting .281 with 12 doubles, two homers and 18 RBI's in 33 games. After a slow start, he went 12-for-16 with two doubles, five RBI's and five runs scored in a recent torrid stretch. For a story about Lucas and how he made it from Dartmouth to pro ball, click here.

An email to the Fairbanks newspaper trying to learn a little more about Dusty Posey, the offensive lineman who will be heading to Dartmouth from Alaska next fall, resulted not only in Dusty getting a little ink, but yours truly as well. Check this link. Posey, by the way, has been selected as a Student-Athlete of the Month for Region 6 athletics in Alaska. As a result, he will be featured on the news and in commercials throughout June. He has served as the president of the Alaska Native Youth Leadership Club at West Valley High School in Fairbanks and recently placed second in the shot in the regionals to earn a berth at states. He'll bypass that in favor of a family graduation trip to Seward where whalewatching will be on the agenda.

Not every football all-star coming to Dartmouth intends to play the game. Click here to read about a high school standout who will be watching from the sidelines. ... Want to see something that drives Ivy League coaches crazy? This story in the St. Petersburg Times (a newspaper that should know better) talks about a quarterback who chose to play basketball at the Citadel instead of possibly playing QB at Dartmouth because Division III football didn't appeal to him.

Nice Note on a '10 Coming from Alaska

I just found a very nice anecdote about incoming walk-on Dustin Posey, a lineman from Fairbanks, AK., in a year-old copy of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. I had a chance to meet Dusty on the sidelines of a Dartmouth practice a couple of weeks ago when he was visiting campus and he was deciding where to go to school. He seemed like a nice kid and after reading this I'm sure he'll be a nice addition to the Dartmouth football "family."

Roster to Swell with Walk-Ons

Add a few more names to Dartmouth's preseason roster for next fall as at least three incoming freshmen and a rising sophomore have indicated they want to walk on to the team. The rising soph, who went through spring practice and played in the Green-White scrimmage, is Nicholas Danford, a 5-foot-9, 180-pound safety from Rollinsford, N.H., and St. Thomas Aquinas H.S.. (bio information). Incoming freshman Dan Koh of Port Washington, N.Y., was nominated for the High School Heisman. As a football, basketball and lacrosse player he received the Citibank News 12 Long Island Scholar-Athlete Achievement Recognition Award. In a win over Hicksville last fall, the running quarterback had touchdown carries of 66, 40 and 4 yards while running for 190 yards on just 10 carries (link). Also headed Dartmouth's way are Dustin Posey, a 240-pound lineman from Fairbanks, AK, who previously lived in Mississippi and Michael Wu, a defensive lineman from the San Franciso Bay area.

The incoming recruit list has been posted with video clips of the recruits in action. Find them here.
