Great question.  It looks like Navy has five commits, Cornell has four, Harvard with three,  Princeton and Yale with two each and Brown and Dartmouth with one each, as of this moment.  Air Force (5), UNC (2) and Notre Dame (2) are the only other schools with more than one commit.

With Navy and the other military academies, they have additional time to secure commitments (7/1) so not really a surprised they've gotten multiple recruits.  Plus, the military academies are such a unique experience, kids probably know pretty early on if that's where they are headed. I guess the bigger question is why does Army only have one commit?

With the Ivy Leagues, maybe I've seen too many teen dramadies in my life, but those kids might be a little more driven to attend a particular school? I'm sure every case is different, it's pure speculation on my part.  You might also be correct about the application process.

In Xander's recent, "Anonymous Scouting Report" a week before 9/1, I was struck by this quote from a coach - "It’s not a very high academic class, and there are some positions where some schools like us are even more limited than usual at shallow and top-heavy positional groups because of the lack of grades.” I am assuming this means Ivy League standard types - and wondering if that means the kids with the grades are being pursued more heavily? Again, just guessing on my part.
