This 20 man team won the 2015 Super 17's in New Jersey (where more than 90 schools were present) by wading through "national" teams and this Canes' team's players generated truly significant interest from D1/D2/D3 schools outside the ACC/SEC, in part because of its success at that venue among others.
All but four of the 15 schools above are D1. Additionally there remain uncommitted several players whose goal is an Ivy League school and that process runs later. The only 2017 on the roster is being recruited by D1s.
The value of playing well at the highest levels of competition cannot be ignored, regardless of the program. However, the Evoshield Canes' success consistently draws attention to its various teams' players at every venue. Perhaps some of these kids will be drafted, but the schools to which they have committed are, in every case, excellent.
That's impressive. One minor point: the 2016 Ivy League recruits would generally have received a "likely letter," and would have applied early action/early decision . . . In other words, they would have already "commited." If not, they could still get in and play there, but it would be akin to being a recruited walk-on. Maybe Fenway South or another poster has more up-to-date information, but that's the way I've seen it work.
