2003 Recruiting
The purpose of this page is to obtain and find information on all of the student athletes entering Colgate University in the fall of 2003.  I confirm as much information as I can, but it is still unofficial.  The news on this page comes from a variety of sources, including internet websites, and the people involved themselves. Colgate fans are very appreciative of any sneak peaks they can get of the student athletes who are about to join the Colgate family, so if you have any information or news that can go on this page, please e-mail me at Redraider013@yahoo.com This page will be updated from now until September.  All sources will be kept private unless you indicate otherwise.
