Just how tough is earning a D2 scholarship?

Posted Monday, February 24th, 2020

It’s that time of year again as winter is gradually starting to wind down and spring is approaching that a still significant percentage of the senior class remains uncommitted.

Diarra continues to set pace in Connecticut 2020

Posted Wednesday, February 19th, 2020

Of all six New England states, Connecticut stands alone when it comes to the overall depth in the class.  Our updated rankings include 50 prospects, all of whom are clear scholarship prospects, with even more prospects at that level falling beyond the top 50.  With that many scholarship candidates in one state, ranking them is an inexact science to say the least, because when the degree of separation is so finite it really becomes a matter of perspective, especially for… READ MORE >
