I agree, its a tremendous haul for a single class. I asked a question on another post. Besides Jonah Williams, what other underclassmen are being recruited? The DLS 2014 team could end up having more than dozen D1 recruits because of their strong underclassmen. Will Folsom have as many recruits coming from one single team such the 2010 Grant team or 2012 Pleasant Grove team? Those teams had nearly 15 D1 recruits total. But like I said, its a tremendous haul to have 7 D1 recruits in a single year.

They have a few underclassman getting looks right now. Still hard to tell.

The 7 D1 signings are just the strongest part. They have a handful of other seniors that are going to play at the next level, just not D1.

Cole Thompson still stands out to me, in terms of his story. Role player to star player. Going to Harvard on a full ride. That is remarkable. From Folsom to the Ivy League!

Thanks for listing the names. Very very impressive. They deserve the recognition.

Ivy League does not give out athletic scholarships.

Harvard and Ivy league don't give out traditional athletic scholarships but don't be fooled. Many of there student athletes go to school for nothing. Harvard has a 30+ Billion dollar endowment and athletes get additional need based aid. (similar to students). I know several who have gone this route. Hmm. Harvard costs me $2k a year or do I go to Weber State on a full ride? I'm not sure people understand how lucrative this is.

Thanks for the input Larry! Just GETTING IN to an Ivy League school is something to be extremely proud about.
