To expand on Fenway and Goosegg, in the Ivies/Patriot many of the players potentially could have gone to a D1 Big State U and possibly play in their Junior year or more realistically hope to play in their Senior year. They may have chosen the Ivies/Patriot with more certainty of playing 3-4 years. Ivies/Patriot only recruit 6-10 players a year with 0 transfers in. My son's recruited class experience was: 9 recruited with 1 stopped playing to concentrate on Bio-Medical Engineering Degree. The remaining 8 contributed all 4 years and all graduated while 7 obtained employment before end of the senior season. The 8th went on to play Independent ball.
