These are the most commits I ever seen before August. 10 already..!!
Moderator:
Don’t we have two or three who will be at Choate this fall that should be considered part of the 2019 crop?
L et V
Per Hero Sports, Harvard has 16 commits and ranks ahead of JMU, NDSU and all other FCS schools.
13 on 247 for Harvard with about 1/2 the offers compared to Yale. What gives?
It’s not even August yet. Yale has 10 already. Harvard sucks.!!!
No reason to panic…yet. However, H has scarfed up four of our recruits, and so far we’ve nabbed none of theirs. Get ’em, Walter.
Some familiar names back on the football roster, along with a few more recruits.
WANDE OWENS , RB , 5 ‘ 11″ , 185 LBS. ( ? ) , GLENELG H.S., GLENELG , MD.
ARCHIE B . RUSS , III , WR / CB , 6 ‘ 1″ , 180 LBS., LANDON H.S., BETHESDA , MD.
Thank You RAY, looks like Archie Russ, has already decommited from Yale . Committed to Pittsburgh. .
Archie Russ is still committed to Yale. The Pitt commitment on his twitter page is just a retweet of another player.
Looks like he will be a lock down CB for Yale with excellent vertical leaping ability.
Wanda Owens looks like a great recruit. Called the best RB in Maryland after setting a rushing record as a sophomore. Has moves similar to Zane Dudek. How are these guys not rated by 247?
Owens was rated as a Maryland Top 10 by Rivals last year.
https://marylandvarsity.rivals.com/news/free-maryland-s-top-10-football-players-in-the-class-of-2019
His nickname should be called “fish”.
In all honesty he looks like rumbling stumbling power runner Not as fleet of foot or moves like Dudek.
That’s fine , he is a welcome addition. Go Yale
His straight up running style reminds me of Calvin Hill.
New Yale commit: Jonathon Durand, 6’3, 255 lbs, OG, Chandler Arizona
Brandon Babcock, 6-6 275 lb OT
Casteel HS. Queen Creek, AZ.
Had offers from Army, Brown and Columbia amongst others.
14 players committed before August. Usually I’ve seen 1 to 3 commits , then after the season they come rolling in.
With that being said , who are the top 3 recruits for this class.?
Does anyone know .?
I would say Ben Montgomery is their best commit to date. He has the highest rating on 247 Sports and the most FBS offers with eight.
I would put Brandon Babcock as their #2 and Wande Owens as #3 at this point.
Tyler Dilenno, S, 6’1, 205, Cheshire Academy.
Babcock concerns me because the level of competition on that film was atrocious. I checked Maxpreps and his team was playing schools with 500 kids, while other schools in the state had over 3,000 kids.
The kid has the foundation, Coach Netter, will teach these boys the ropes.
Guys just looked at Jonathon Durand video kid is a player. Nasty physical tough just what we need.Would make a great guard or center Glad he picked Yale.Keep the recruits coming.
Durand really goes after it. If nothing’s happening in his AO, he seeks out someone to flatten and does so. Bring on the beasts.
Article on both Durand’s and Babcock’s commitments to Yale

Guys one quick question. Its reported that Shane Frommer is coming in camp at 215 lb.Do you think he was told he was going to play LB and put on that weight . Or do you see him at RB. Any ideas.
At that weight and given Yale’s plethora of running backs he might end up as a safety. On the other hand Kevin Czinger was a very effective MG at the weight. Probably weighed even less than that.
Brayden Carey, WR, 6’0”, 180; East Coweta High School, Sharpsburg, GA.
