[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My suspicion is that at a NESCAC, probably not. Those guys are all DI caliber athletes who chose to attend those schools. Probably more likely at other DIII schools.[/quote]

The NESCAC conference is among the best D3 in the nation and most of those schools are amongst the most academically rigorous. The fact is, most of those schools have their pick of the best D3/low end D1 athletes (assuming they have the grades as well…which is a big if).[/quote]

And I meant to add, none of these schools have walk ons that play, in any sport.[/quote]

That’s a serious exaggeration.

No it absolutely is not. NESCAC take their recruiting very seriously, big wins equals big donations.[/quote]

You said “none of these schools have walk ons that play, in any sport.” All one need do is look. Every school has walk-ons that play, even the NESCAC schools. Walk-ons of course have a less direct path to playing, but it happens, probably in ever sport at every school or close to it, the opposite of what you claim.

And yes you can click on the player names to see they actually played.

Searching by other school names will lead to similae results.
