Who knows? The sky is most definitely the limit for these unknown, but obviously talented, recruits.How about football, a sport in which recruiting is as highly publicized nationally as any other? Some 250-pound 17-year-old who has just recently received his acceptance letter could become the cornerstone of a dominant Ivy championship squad in 2009. Why, just three years...
