The limit on total number of players is set by each school.
There is a limit of 13 players on each team who can receive financial aid.

Can someone recap where we are in 2022 recruiting? Next year's incoming class. I lost track.

Our only recruit commit so far is Cameron Thrower, 6'5 guard from Harvard-Westlake in LA Seems like a good get; but as of now no others.
We were involved with two No//Mt. Hermon players who are goubg to Columbia; a 6'6 Sf to Princeton. The two most highly touted are Chisolm Okpara, 6'8 who chose Harvard over us, Yale Brown & Columbia & some majors; and Danny Wolf 6'10 to Yale, also from N/MH. This is all from Verbal Commits; there may be better informatio out there.

We have at least 1 other commitment for 2022 that I have heard about. Don't know details but it is a 6-9 type kid from California. I heard he had an official recently and has committed. I also believe there are a few others still in the works, not sure where we are in those situations.

So a Pitcher and a Thrower in the Ivy League.
Did they pick the wrong sport?

FWIW, I assume one of the players nychoops is referring to is Ikenna Ude-Smith.
I cannot imagine that the California commit is Braeden Moore, but he is a prospect who sort of meets the profile, who is out there, and who I am aware of having had Penn interest.

Both of those guys would help our team. Both are big, athletic, and have skills. Perfect for a Donahue forward.

One of the recruiting sites lists Moore as committed to Rutgers.

I think there is no chance it is him, so this doesn't matter much, but he decommitted from Rutgers 6 months ago.

Braeden Moore decommitted from Rutgers but I too doubt he is mystery recruit #2 (assuming there is indeed one)

Braedon Moore is definitely not recruit #2.
Cam Thrower is an excellent 3pt shooter (he also averaged 45% from 3 on the Under Armor Circuit against high major competition). He is a catch and shoot 3pt shooter, moves well without the ball and has a quick release. Being 6-4+ will help as well. He also rebounds his position well. He will have to get quicker to guard the perimeter in our league and will have to work on his ball skills. He is not much of a vertical threat or a speed guy. A good addition for sure.

Thrower sounds like Langborg. Despite palestra 39's
dismissal, he has proven to be an Ivy League difference-maker.

In other years Penn introduced its new class in Mid June so we have two months to wait for the final tally.

I spent an hour today looking for a 2nd commitment on social media. If we indeed have a 2nd commitment, I couldn’t find a single footprint to verify that he exists. Not saying one way or the other, but it makes you wonder.

Yes, unusual these days. Obviously a guy like Moore isn’t going to be an unannounced recruit.
There is one Princeton commit who has been talked about on the board that hasn’t been picked up by verbal commits and others. But if you look for him, you can find him. Not so with this Penn recruit.

Unless the family doesn't want to disclose yet? Or final admissions is pending?
I'm seeing Kepnang back in the transfer portal. Maybe he's after that Ivy scholarship again. Also Andrew Funk, who was on our radar years ago. I recall watching his HS game on YouTube, hoping a standout player was him. It wound up the player was Colin Gillespie. Funk has had a nice run at Bucknell.

How does the “no grad transfers” rule work with guys who get an extra Covid year? I would guess that we couldn’t bring in a guy who would be a fifth year. Might depend on whether or not Funk has graduated.
