Title: Recruits beyond 2020
Post by: scoop85 on October 09, 2020, 08:32:43 PM
Cornell picked up a commitment from 16-year old center Tyler Wishart from Westchester County. He was recently drafted in the 7th round of the USHL draft by Lincoln. Neutral Zone describes him this way: "Speed. Speed. Speed with acceleration and the edges to get to the goal. Tyler played with tremendous pace. He can stop and start on a dime and his mobility and ability to make cuts make him tough to defend. He won almost every face-off and was setting the table for his teammates all game...Athletic, fast and dangerous with possession, he's a D1 prospect and a good one."

Just what I like in a hockey player:  "Speed. Speed. Speed with acceleration".

And he's on the Czech U20 national team.  

But it looks like he's a checking forward.  6G, 12A in 43 games with Waterloo last year.  C rated speed by NHL Central Scouting according to his profile on Waterloo's webpage.

C rated by NHL Central Scouting means he projects as a late round NHL draft pick.  He was a big scorer prior to his year with Waterloo.  Seems to be an intriguing prospect.  Can't wait to see him in Lynah.

Considering that the magician "left business school in 2005 to pursue his love of magic full time", no, he's probably not the same person as the Czech under-20 hockey player.

Dan Svoboda is close enough to "Ron Swoboda."

The IVY Presidents are so ideologically challenged they can't get their shit straight  Pathetic.  One minute it's follow the science and the next breath they shut everything down.  If they really cared about student health and well being they would be closed to in person instruction.  They know that there are large gatherings on/off campus but since they need the influx of revenue they are willing to take that risk.  But somehow athletic competition is different to them.

It's not "ideology."  A slot machine does not have an ideology.  

Their only job, until such time as they are replaced by robots, is to make sure derpy parents and derpier donors keep pressing the PAY bar that dispenses the Ivy smugness pellets.  

Everything else is just a means to do that more effectively.

It's not exactly revenue.  Money is only a crass and arbitrary scorekeeping device.  

It's brand.  The Ivies live or die by maintaining a magical moat between them and the others.  It's a guild system -- you pull up the draw bridge and create entry barriers.  You deny equal footing to others by fiat.  You protect your discriminator -- your label.

Ivies need to behave differently.  Banning "athletic scholarships" (while having operational equivalents in place) is one marketing tactic.  Not playing is (fortunately) another.

HYP can survive competing head-to-head with anybody else because of endowment and the momentum of a hundred years of class prestige and because, annoyingly, they still deliver the goods.  The other five have to maintain the gated community or be overwhelmed by dozens of competitors.

Why?  Christ, man, what do you want from me?

They may need 13, though.  How many returning players are actually going to be left?

Hell, they may need 18.

The first season back, whenever that is, is going to be the closest we will ever see to a random draft.

I think the Ivies did the right thing but by next year there will be very limited appetite for opting out of everything again. I don't know if that's good or bad but it's what it will be.

Depends what happens.  If we get smarter and maintain lockdown and masks and social distancing through summer then we'll be through it and we can open safely.

If we... well, if we do what you know we will do, and rush to reopen, then there could be an enormous wave and we'll be right back to lockdown and another lost season.

It all comes down to the intelligence of the public (uh oh) and the bravery of the officials who have to institute unpopular policies (uh oh).

Not really. No kids under 16 vaccinated and I think that's around 20% of population. Throw in that 50% of Republican males say they won't get it, and somewhat lower for females, those get you at least down another 10-15%. So there you have 30-35% unvaccinated and doesn't count the number of others who say no.

What we don't know is how many of unvaccinated were infected and have some immunity. I say some as it looks like imunity from the vaccines is better than prior infection.

So depending upon what % is needed for Herd effects, we probably won't be there till kids get immunized. That may start for older, 12-16, before the end of the year, but younger kids probably next year. Kids don't get as sick, but can still transmit and they are hosts that can lead to more variants.

If we keep this going, here and abroad, the concern is a variant that is vaccine resistant.

The only good thing about the varriant possibility is that the mRNA vaccines can be adjusted very quickly to cover variants, but it would mean getting everyone vaccinated again.

And get used to wearing masks. Even if we open up for spectators, you may go to a game wearing a mask.

Jim of course is spot on, plus the issue of variants.

Here's my question though.  Everybody in the hockey program is over 16. They will be plenty of shots available come fall... So why don't we and the league just mandate vaccination for participation by the players as well as the coaching staff.

Even if we're not at herd immunity it seems to me that would be sufficient to let the kids play.  Jim, any reason that might not work?

I don't see any reason that immunized hockey teams, including everyone associated withe the team, facilities, etc., wouldn't be safe to play.

Unfortunately fans are a different subject. It'll be interesting to see what happens with concerts this summer, as some are getting going.

In regards to yearly COVID boosters, I think it's almost guaranteed. Much of the third world has not really been able to get started with vaccinations, and that might take well into 2022 or even longer.

The comment that the longer we let the virus be around, the greater the chance of bad variants, is spot on. If one of the current variants gets changed a little more, it's likely to be at least more resistant to the current vaccines. So boom you are starting all over. Better to give a yearly booster to cover the known bad variants. COVID will likely be with us for many more years. We'll control it, but not eliminate it.

Regarding combined boosters for flu and COVID, I doubt it, at least for next year. You may well want to get your booster from the same manufacturer. If so that basically eliminates combinations. Even if that's not true, and there are current trials of getting your first shot from one manufacturer and second from another, the storing  conditions for flu and COVID are certainly different for the mRNA. Also they'd have to do studies on people to at least show that you get good antibody levels with a combined vaccine. Then you have to have a facility to combine them. It seems for now that we should put our efforts to vaccinate the world and see about appropriate boosters. Then when things are more relaxed, we can look to solve the combination problem.

I heard today Vietnam is asking the world for help obtaining vaccines. They need 150 M and only have 1 M. Without vaccines, that'd be one hot incubator for mutations. Uncle Ho's revenge.

Frankly, I don't understand why pundits and pols aren't making this point more forcefully. As long as the virus is running free, in Vietnam or Texas, we're playing with a ticking time bomb.

Good point about manufacturers being different making it unlikely that the flu and COVID shots can be combined at least initially. The advantage of two shots is that I get my shots the pharmacy inside a nearby Safeway supermarket which gives me a coupon for 10% off on a grocery purchase, and with separate shots given on different days, I will get two coupons.:-D

this is one reason better testing needs to happen.. if you cant contain it with shots you have to have a method to track it and stop it from spreading.   there was a ton of energy around that early with all kinds of ideas but very little has actually been created..  blood test, spit test, breathe test. need something faster and reproducible to slow the spread.

Harvard, as has been the norm lately, has a number of guys who will be drafted, including Matthew Coronato who will almost certainly be a 1st rounder. If it weren't for COVID Matt Berniers, who's likely to be the 2nd pick (and is the son of a Cornell football alum), would've been going into his sophomore year at Harvard.

In an interview during the draft last night, Ron Francis, Seattle GM, mentioned that Beniers comes from a highly academic family with both his parents majoring in engineering at Cornell.  
Francis's daughter is also a Cornellian, so he obviously thinks highly of Cornell.  While his daughter was in school and he was Carolina GM, he saw the Big Red play several times, which resulted in his trading for the draft rights to Riley Nash.

Quote from: scoop85Matt Berniers, who's likely to be the 2nd pick (and is the son of a Cornell football alum)

In an interview during the draft last night, Ron Francis, Seattle GM, mentioned that Beniers comes from a highly academic family with both his parents majoring in engineering at Cornell.  
Francis's daughter is also a Cornellian, so he obviously thinks highly of Cornell.  While his daughter was in school and he was Carolina GM, he saw the Big Red play several times, which resulted in his trading for the draft rights to Riley Nash.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if having an all-Cornell family was a bit of a turnoff for some recruits.

Yes, but the one right below it should make you happy: Tyler Wishart is Westchester/Putnam Player of the Year.

"In just nine games this season, the forward had 22 goals and 11 assists to help lead John Jay to the Putnam/Northern Westchester championship in a season altered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was a fitting way to go out for a player whose skills are so pronounced that, as a sophomore, he was recruited by and committed to Cornell, one of the nation's top Division I collegiate programs."

Said he also "considered playing for the University of New Hampshire, Quinnipiac and Boston University."

Keeping in mind that I'm not your attorney, and none of this post should be construed as legal advice:

Recent court rulings and changes in NCAA regs mean that college athletes may now earn money from their name, image, and likeness. I'm of the opinion that this also means it should be relatively simple for a "booster" - who in the past would have been prohibited from giving anything of real value to a student-athlete or a recruit - to use those changes to provide such incentives. The easiest example I can think of is that any local business owner could just sign the athlete to an endorsement deal, which puts money in the athlete's pocket (or dangle the promise of such an endorsement deal to a recruit, presumably).

Time will tell whether that's actually how things are going to shake out.

I meant having an ahl team affiliated with the NHL team for the sake of having them work closely. I suppose buying an AHL team nearby and encouraging some interaction between cornell hockey and the ahl team could also be beneficial as well and cost far less.

I understood.  My point was you could get a new NHL team and then create an affiliation with one of the existing AHL teams. Because there's no place close to Ithaca that doesn't already have a team.  Albany is probably the closest possibility.

Agreed.  But I would love it if all the players who were affected from the next three classes also have the same option, and I do not think that is the case unless they didn't matriculate last year.

14 new players skating at once is, by historical standards, insane.  

Largest effective (first year playing) entering classes (F/D/G) since freshmen became eligible.

14 2022 7/5/2
14 1993 9/4/1
14 1979 9/3/2

To give an idea of what first year classes looked like when freshmen couldn't play:

17 1976 10/6/1
15 1965 9/4/2

And let's not forget the greatest first year class ever:

19 1958 12/5/2

which is what happens when you start a program.

We're returning 4 experienced D and three lines. Considering our track record on attracting top goalies, I'm not all that concerned. We'll be at least in the middle of the pack by my reckoning.

Plus I have to imagine the rest of the ECAC (at least, the rest that didn't play) are in the same boat. Harvard has their usual glut of (hopefully underperforming) draft guys, but other than that, it's all going to be a mess.
