2017 Recruiting Class

[Mid-Atlantic Fan]

I believe someone started a thread with this topic last year for the collection of 2016 commitments for D3 programs. Would anyone be interested in continuing this again for the 2017 class? I think it generated some great discussion last year about incoming players and programs. Feel free to start the list if you know of any player commitments thus far!

Here's a list of recruits from the state of Wisconsin that gets updated quite often.

Only 4 Division III commits thus far but it picks up in the next few weeks typically.

There is a thread (http://www.talking-soccer.com/TS4/showthread.php?t=147141&page=17) on Talking-soccer.com in the Massachusetts forum where a poster is listing all Massachusetts-based players committing to D1, D2, D3 colleges.  Some of these may overlap with Shooter's post with names from TD.

SLU seems to be loading up big time on this incoming class. Rumors of at least ten, potentially 15 recruits coming in.  If they're anything like the freshmen they've been getting the past few years, this could be a great sign for a program that's coming off of a relatively "down" year.

Classes are starting to take shape and should be finishing up this month for most programs. Will D3soccer have another submission list on their website like the previous year? That was very nice to reference for our respective teams! 

[Go2Goal]

Another thing that shapes teams this time of year are transfers. I saw that first team NJAC forward Ryan Campbell transferred from Ramapo to Rowan. This is a huge addition! Campbell is a Stud and has double digit goals both years at Ramapo. He single handed lay beat Montclair last year. Gives Rowan another player to pair with Doherty.

a little info i could find

Murray star transfers to prep school.
Danny Chavarria, a former soccer standout at Murray High School, has left Kentucky in his hopes to further his soccer career.
One of the top soccer players in his age group in the country, Chavarria has transferred to Shattuck-St. Mary's in Minnesota

At St. Mary's, Chavarria won't just play Minnesota schools, but he will travel all across the nation playing some of the best high schools in the country.
Playing in the midfield, Chavarria had 14 goals and six assists last season, but is more known for his teamwork rather than his individual skills...

Over the summer, Chavarria was named the state's Youth Soccer Player of the Year, and has only improved from there. In December,he went to a regional camp in Florida with 72 of the best players his age from around the country...
