Subject: Re: The Sporting News 2008 Pre-Season Ivy League Rankings Author: Sprint66 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:18:03 07/01/08 Tue In reply to: Greendog 's message, "Re: The Sporting News 2008 Pre-Season Ivy League Rankings" on 07:03:30 07/01/08 Tue One or two key transfers could certainly tip the scales. I am surprised there aren't more transfers into the Ivy League, such as guys from a Stanford, Navy, or Northwestern who are really good players but may not be getting the playing time they had hoped to see. One really good defensive end or QB could make a big diffence. I think Yale and Penn have had some success with transfers. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Harvard benefitted from Dawson. There were transfers on the field for Columbia the last time they beat Princeton at Princeton. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: The Sporting News 2008 Pre-Season Ivy League Rankings Author: Transfer [Edit] Date Posted: 23:08:39 07/09/08 Wed I transferred to an Ivy from a junior college program my junior year and have no regrets. I chose the JUCO route for two reasons. First it saved my parents a ton of money and secondly I got to start my freshman and sophmore year and didn't miss a game. At the time most private four years schools cost about $30,000 per year and my junior college cost about $2,000. My junior college coaches were the ones who made contacts for me at several Ivy, Patriot League, and Atlantic 10 conference schools. The transfer process was easy and I think the JUCO game experience I had was far superior to playing on the taxi squad. Many of the freshman and sophmore players in the Ivy League don't even get to travel with the team. I graduated on time and no graduate school or employer has even asked me about if or why I transferred. I am surprised that more Ivy players don't go this route. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

One question, did Ivy schools heavily recruit you out of high school? It seems like it would be hard for most kids to turn down an offer from a school and go the route you did. I'm glad it worked out great for you and you're right, playing two years vs sitting or special teaming it probably was a good thing for you. Where (what state) did you play your juco ball?

I had feelers from a number of I-A and primarily I-AA schools out of high school, but nothing materialized. I was a good student in high school, but I definitely became more serious about school and athletics my first two years of college. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
