Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

And they don't even have coach. Which goes to show that recruiting at this level, i.e. the PL so many times is about the kid's vision of what careers and majors they are thinking about rather than what coach and type of offense/defense the team plays, or even the school's facilities. Remember how everyone thought Laughyette was going to speed on by us ten years ago when they had their major new fieldhouse and stadium renovations. People were so jealous. So where did that get them, and how many blue chip recruits were so impressed they matriculated to College Hill? There are so many factors and nuanced decisions that it's a wonder the coaching staffs keep their sanity.
Ditto.

I love it when players say they want to go to a college for the academics and other non-athletic reasons. After all, one bad turn/hit could end a kid's playing career -- and they'd better enjoy their time studying or they are left with jack.

He would've been a force. We are in the mix for Harris. We are in his last 4. Better than not being there. We have come in 2nd enough already in recruiting. Pure math dictates that we cant get all of them. Puzzles me how kids choose anywhere else than Lehigh. Not sure but I may be biased :shock: :D

I know it's a head scratcher, but there are so many factors that go into an 18 year old's decision. Academics? Distance from home, ideas on being able to play right away, what people put in his ear,...not to say $$$$. With one kid it's A another B another C, who knows??....

Get em on campus for an OV and recruit the parent/HS coach as well as the kid. I'm watching Ga hard and tons of late offers from group of 5, FCS and DIIs. If I never see another "respect my decision" in Twitter...of course it's your decision kid!

Thus is the relatively new playing field of recruiting with dual signing days. As always, we all will lose more than we win in recruiting. Simple math. Doesnt make it less frustrating.
Nate Hope, our 2nd RB offer took Dartmouth and now has decommitted. In the meanwhile we have 2 other RBs. Oh well. The young men we got are fine people and very good RBs. Hope is announcing his new pick shortly.

Rich- I'm seeing better Ivies and even HC offer c/o 2020s already. Is that something we should consider or can even attempt with the high academic requirements?
