NESCAC Recruiting Twitter Update

We have plenty of time before the 2016-17 academic calendar starts, let alone the official release of rosters with the newest class of recruits. In the meantime, let's catch-up with what the twitterverse has to tell us about the incoming commits. As with all things twitter, it is fun and accessible, but hardly reliable as a comprehensive source of information (less than half of Bowdoin recruits show up on twitter, while Trinity and Wesleyan tweeted out all of their own recruits) . Just because a player isn't listed in the twittersphere as a recruit, it doesn't mean he won't be lacing it up as a neophyte NESCACer next fall at Sage or Alfond or the Malden Valley Forum II (get an on campus rink already, Tufts!). The converse is true as well, as a 140 character commitment doesn't mean you'll be on the roster come November 1.

There's quite a range of recruiting sources from schools that prefer Canadian Juniors (the entirety of Hamilton's recruiting) to schools that tend to go prep (looking at you, Williams) or US Juniors (Trinity) to a mix of all three. There's also a mix of mix of players from hockey recruits to the few that are looking to play as many sports as they can (welcome to the 'Cac, Frank Coslito).

And if you like stories told in 140 character snippets, check out some of the game stories from past NESCAC playoffs and NCAA Tournament games.
