City-leagues players who should get Division I attention
City-leagues players who should get Division I attention
By TED SILARY
Here's our 32nd annual list of city-leagues seniors deserving of attention from Division I recruiters, compiled with the help of coaches.
Those players with expanded information following their name are considered I-A prospects.
Those in the "others" category are more likely better fits for I-AA (*-indicates Ivy League academic credentials).
Many of these players perhaps would be better served by setting their sights at a level below where they're listed, but that's for recruiters and/or players to decide.
The comments are based on personal observations and coaches' insights. All players are listed by current position.
