For the sake of transparency, why I care is that my son is a 2022 trying to get recruited by an Ivy.
What are your thoughts?
This is news to me (and maybe others?). I know many kids that play/have played hockey at Ivies but very few current baseball players. It was my understanding that you get 4 years to play your sport at the Ivies (and also the Patriot League). I think that there are some potential redshirt opportunities. If you look at last season there were many seniors at Ivies that entered the transfer portal to play a 5th year elsewhere instead of staying and playing another year.
Welcome to here NotMadeOf$$. This place is a wealth of information and I am thankful daily for the knowledge about baseball recruiting (and training and other good stuff) that is available here in the archives and still to be learned in the future thru questions like yours.
