Originally posted by Unregistered View PostConnColl got a windfall in recruiting the last couple of years. How were they able to get that caliber of player after years of mediocrity? Nearly all had D1 talent and, one would think, D1 offers.

But a kid who had some "interest" from say a Patriot league school, may prefer to be an impact player in the NESCAC.

Conn College has zero academic restrictions. Anyone gets in there. The men's team should be much better. They finally bring in a coach on the women's side and look what happens.

There are always separate realities in these sorts of things. One for those on the outside and another for those on the inside. It is rather amusing how when two motivated parties try to craft a deal together how they can get done what others often think is impossible. It really comes down to that old notion whether you are a buyer or a seller.

There is an established NESCAC recruiting policy to which all school must adhere.
There are "bands". the Bowdoin school papers had a good series of articles about it not too long ago. Link to the first article:

Looks like two big "tips" per year per sport, plus some juice with applications which are generally competitive with the overall averages.

Ok Zero was a bit much on my part but Conn College probably has the lowest academic standard of all NESCAC schools. Go and check for yourself. Find out test scores and GPA's of athletes there

Testing - Middle 50% of Ranges (for the 68% who chose to submit standardized testing)
Admission data for Class of 2019
SAT-Reading 640-730
SAT-Math 630-720
SAT-Writing 650-740
ACT 30-33
Although not at the Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Middlebury level, not too shabby. I think most parents would be very happy if their child scored in the midpoint of that range (about 1350 on the big two or 2050 on all three.) So, the "bands" for the athletes cannot go down too far. (Of course, they will be lower than the bands for other NESCAC schools.)

Well done. I think we can put this earlier post into the BS/troll group...
