Per this tweet from Duquesne, Top Drawer Soccer ranks this upcoming freshmen class in the top 20 in all of D1.

No A-10 program is top 20 in the country. If this class is as good as TDS claims, this is a huge win for Coach Brooks and Duquesne.

A total of 12 players allegedly committed, 9 have been announced so far as of 6:00 pm. Duquesne has yet to put out an official press release about player details.

Duquesne's official post on this outstanding men's 2017 class of soccer recruits identifies all 12 recruits:

Three of the top 150 recruits in the nation! Who is the last team/sport at Duquesne that can say that?

http://www.goduquesne.com/sports/w-soccer/spec-rel/020317aac.html Here's the women's recruiting class.

i follow the riverhounds academy; there's another recruit from their academy that their website that was not listed on goduquesne, for some reason. and then i realized it's that amanda kalin girl who committed for the basketball team, not the soccer team.

So I'm sitting here at the game today and we're not playing well, and I think "i wonder how many players are playing from that class that was supposed to be super good so I can hope for the future"

Out of this class that was top 20 consisting of 12 players, there is one player left. ONE.

How did 11 players of that caliber transfer out or de-commit after 1 year?
