Another strong recruiting class will be arriving into Geneva this weekend for the opening of the 2014 preseason camp. At first blush it's fairly noticable that this class brought in a lot of players for a few key areas of need (LB and DB) and reflects HWS's ties to New England and NYS prep and parochial schools.

18 of the 33 student athletes are from NYS (including one from Greenwich, CT which is more of an extension of NYC than New England - at least that's my Hartford native perspective / bias ;).

Nine student athletes come to Geneva via NJ, PA, MD and VA. Four come from New England (three from MA and one from ME). Two student athletes come from my home state of FL. One of them was profiled on this blog back on March 28.

A handful of schools, including Scarborough HS (ME), Out of Door Academy (FL), Saint Peters (NJ), Trinity Pawling (NY) and LaSalle (NY) have sent Hobart student athletes for the second year in a row.

It will be interesting to see over the next four years how these young men add to the success of the Statesmen program.

More news from camp and an update on Season 7 of "ITH" coming up next week!

Thanks for reading and go Bart!

  1. Good stuff, James. Although losing some key seniors is sad, these freshmen look like solid prospects that will develop into playoff material. I'd like to see more FL boys come north.
