Here at the Recruiting Recap we like the easy ones.

Easy like Sunday morning. Easy like dehydrated macaroni n’ cheese. Easy like, well, you get the idea.

So we want to thank some schools who’ve made our job easier by providing lists of their recruits.

We’ve seen releases from Centre and Hampden-Sydney in the South region.

Plus we noticed the recruiting class for the Tigers’ ODAC rival Bridgewater (VA) is posted on Eagles fan site Bridgewaterfootball.com. In fact, you could add that release to this tentative roster for a complete glimpse (if there is such a thing) of their potential lineup.

The Pittsburgh Tribute Review listed a handful of recruits who will join new head coach Jeff Hand at Westminster (Pa.). OregonLive.com is tracking local kids’ college plans, including a healthy dose headed to Linfield.

That’s not to say that everyone on these lists will play the position mentioned or even play at all since Division III schools can’t tie financial aid to athletic participation. And there will probably be other first year players who are not on these lists but will play at these schools next season. But the lists give fans get a better flavor for an incoming class.

So if you’re an SID or coach who is in the know about your school’s recruiting class and you want to share, please feel free to do so by emailing us at news@d3football.com. Or you can follow the lead of Concordia (Wis.) which posted its recruiting class as a comment on the last recap.

Isn’t that Special?

What do you get when you cross Reggie Roby with Reggie White?

The answer is Steve Jones, a 6-5, 300-pound Annapolis (Md.) HS grad headed to Wesley. Jones received regional punting honors in his first season at the position while also playing on both sides of the line.

The Manteca (Calif.) Bulletin highlighted another special teams recruit, Brandon Gresham who will take his kicking talents to Menlo. The Ceres High School punter and kicker heads to Atherton where he wants to study law enforcement. “I want to become a cop like my dad,” Gresham told the Bulletin.

Though Gresham likely doesn’t know it, he has a kindred spirit in Illinois.

The Morris (Ill.) Daily Herald reports that Harvey VanCleave III plans to attend Aurora as his grandfather and father did before him. Harvey the Third and his father played the same position (defensive tackle) wearing the same number (72) for the same coach (Dan Darlington) at Morris High School.

The father-son comparisons don’t stop there as the youngest VanCleave hopes to follow his dad’s professional footsteps by entering law enforcement. “I want to model my life after my dad. I’d like to be exactly like him,” he told the Herald.

With Father’s Day in less than 10 days, that testimony is a very nice gift from one VanCleave to another.
