NFL draft sites are a dime a dozen on the internet but Draft Scout is one that stands a little above the others. Here are position rankings among draft eligible Ivy Leaguers that were updated today, keeping in mind these rankings seem to be changing almost by the hour:John Lovett, Princeton, No. 13, 6-2, 234 fullback
Stephen Carlson, Princeton, No. 24, 6-4, 240 tight end
Larry Allen, Harvard, No. 43, 6-3, 307 offensive guard
Charlie Volker, Princeton, No. 57, 5-11, 213 running back
Ky McKinney-Crudden Dartmouth, No. 59, 6-0, 202, strong safety
Dalton Banks, Cornell, No. 67, 6-2, 242,quarterback
Matt Kaskey, Dartmouth, No. 72, 6-7, 326 offensive tackle
Stone Hart, Harvard, No. 73 defensive tackle
Rocco Di Leo, Dartmouth, No. 75, 6-3, 290, defensive end
Jesper Horsted, Princeton, No. 86, 6-4, 229, wide receiver
Also of interest, former Columbia punter Parker Thome, who finished his career at Vanderbilt is ranked No. 7.
Brown's TJ Linta, who did a grad transfer year at Wagner, is the No. 45 quarterback.
Notre Dame's Jerry Tillery, who took a recruiting trip to Dartmouth after committing to Notre Dame, is the No. 6 defensive tackle.

In 2013 Dartmouth and Penn played the longest game in Ivy League football history, a four-overtime marathon that saw the Quakers win, 37-31, at Franklin Field.The two schools might have topped that yesterday as they played the longest baseball game in Ivy League history, a 21-inning affair in Hanover won by the Quakers, 21-15. Tied for the eighth-longest game in NCAA history, it lasted 6 hours and 22 minutes.
From the Dartmouth game report:
The two teams set several NCAA records, including most plate appearances for one team (Dartmouth with 105) and combined (208), as well as at-bats for one team (Penn, 92) and both sides (176). Dartmouth also left 27 runners on base, tying the Division I mark. The Quakers rapped out 30 hits and the Big Green 25, which was a school record for Penn and one shy for Dartmouth.Baseball America has a writeup HERE. It starts this way:
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania on Saturday played what is sure to be the craziest game of the year in college baseball – or probably at any level – as the Quakers defeated the Big Green, 21-15, in 21 innings.The game was slated to be the first half of a Saturday doubleheader. As the innings piled up I turned to Mrs. BGA and joked in Ernie Banks fashion, "It's a great day for baseball. Let's play one."

Speaking of baseball and Mr. Cub, I can't find 'em all so huge thanks to BGA's judicial correspondent for stepping off the bench and sharing a terrific look at how Chicago Cubs' starter Kyle Hendricks '12 and Cubs' Triple-A farmhand Duncan Robinson '16 compare. Cubs Insider writes:Comparing any prospect to Hendricks is nearly impossible because guys like The Professor don’t just grow on trees. The style with which he pitches is not something that any scout could predict out of a young kid in the minor leagues, nor should they.
But since we aren’t professional scouts here and no one is going to come crying to me when he doesn’t pan out to be the next Hendricks, I’ll go ahead and say it: Duncan Robinson is as close to being Kyle Hendricks as any prospect you are going to find.
