Your Patriot League Commit Tracker

With "Signing Day" set to go tomorrow for football recruits all throughout the nation, considering how popular it has been I've set up a blog posting for the sole purpose of listing, well, everything I know about commits for Patriot League football. Keep in mind that tomorrow few schools - probably only Lafayette - will announce their incoming class in the entire Patriot League, as most schools wait several weeks before making a formal announcement.

Many of these were taken from my previous blog postings on this subject. For Lehigh, you can click on the player to return to my original blog posting on the player. But keep coming back often since I'm planning on updating this well into signing day. While the schools tend to be conservative, I'm not - I'll publish any nugget of information I have.

(For reference, to read my explanation of the difference between what the "Letter of Intent" is for most schools and the difference between the Patriot League's "Letter of Understanding" and the Ivy League's "Likely Letter"'s, click here.)

(As I mentioned, come back early and often for the most complete list of Patriot League commits listed anywhere. I will be updating this as soon as I get any new information.)

According to a recruit list in today's Newark Star-Ledger, Tom Mannix of Brearley HS (Kenilworth) has committed to Holy Cross. A quick Google search indicates that Mannix played QB for Brearley but is listed as being recruited as a safety -- he also apparently played baseball and wrestled in high school.

LFN-
SoCalSader from CROSSPORTS here. I sent you a message, but figured I would post here since you guys in Bethlehem will like one of my local SD recruits I have for you.

Mason Mills (6-0, 190 QB) from Cornado HS is going to Lehigh
He is a great QB get for Lehigh...probably only held back from lower FBS schools by his size. He was the #5 passer in the county and threw for 2958 yards and 37 TD's to 7 INT's

Eddy Sihavong (5-11, 180 RB) from Mission Hills HS going to Colgate

Typo on my part, the HS for Mills is Coronado HS.

How The Ivy League Is Able To Break the NCAA's Scholarship Limits and Still Consider Themselves FCS

By now you've seen the results.  In 2018, the Ivy League has taken the FCS by storm. Perhaps it was Penn's 30-10 defeat of Lehigh a couple of weeks ago .  Or maybe it was Princeton's 50-9 drubbing of another team that made the FCS Playoffs last year, Monmouth.  Or maybe it was Yale's shockingly dominant 35-14 win over nationally-ranked Maine last weekend. The Ivy League has gone an astounding 12-4 so far in out-of-conference play, many of those wins coming against the Patriot League. But it's not just against the Patriot League where the Ivy League has excelled.  Every Ivy League school has at least one out-of-conference victory, which is remarkable since it is only three games into their football season.  The four losses - Rhode Island over Harvard, Holy Cross over Yale, Delaware over Cornell, and Cal Poly over Brown - were either close losses that could have gone either way or expected blowouts of teams picked to be at the bottom of the Ivy League.

UMass 21, Lafayette 14, halftime

Are you watching this game? UMass had this game under control until about 3 minutes in the second quarter, and then got an interception, converted for a TD. Then the Leopards forced a fumble off the return, and then converted THAT for a TD, making this a game. It's on CN8. You really should be watching this.

Examining A Figure Skating Rivalry: Tonya and Nancy

It must be very hard for a millennial to understand the fuss around the Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding figure skating scandal in the run-up to the 1994 Olympics. If you're of a certain age, though - whether you're a figure skating fan or not, and I am decidedly no fan of figure skating - the Shakespearean story of Harding and Kerrigan still engages, and still grabs peoples' attention, twenty years later. Why, though?  Why, twenty years later, in a sport I care little, does the story still grab me?  Why did I spend time out of my life watching dueling NBC and ESPN documentaries on the subject, and Google multiple stories about Jeff Gilooly , idiot "bodyguards", and the whole sordid affair? I think it's because the story, even twenty years later, is like opium. The addictive story, even now, has everything.  Everything.  The woman that fought for everything, perhaps crossing over to the dark side to get her chance at Olypic Gold, vs. the woman who
