The defections topic is getting stale.  So how does this affect the team?

Ari said in the preseason that he was a potential 100pt scorer.  He ended up the lowest scoring of all the forwards who played more than half the games.  My personal opinion is that he was underachieving, undersized, and he allegiance was divided.  With that said, there's also plenty of forward talent, with more on it's way.  He just wasn't worth the roster spot.

What do you think?

since the defections post is moving here, this is posted in both.The only bad thing he did was play baseball!  

To dismiss a solid 2 way player like this for playing a sport in his off season is moronic by schafer. But maybe in Schafer's eyes playing baseball is a lot worse than rape.

maybe he did something that we don't know about, and will never know about.

Who knows?

Or maybe it was by mutual agreement. Whatever the reasons are for his leaving the team, neither Milo nor the hockey program is under any obligation to inform the public about those reasons.

We should be careful in our speculations such that reputation of Cornell and its students are not damaged by unsubstantiated claims.

well it couldn't be academic or discipline related or he would be ineligible for the baseball team.

... and fans are under no obligation to stop speculating about what happened to a promsing player. If he is in fact gone for sure from the hockey team, quite possibly:

- he wasn't as good as his previous year's point totals suggested
- Milo and Schafer had a personality clash resolved in the coach's favor
- Milo decided he liked baseball more

[quote DILLIGAF]well it couldn't be academic or discipline related or he would be ineligible for the baseball team.[/quote]It certainly could be he just changed his mind about playing both sports.  Maybe he just decided he liked baseball better.  It worked out OK for Tom Glavine.

And Kirk McCaskill, but UVM sucks.  ;-)

This isn't necessarily true. If there was insubordination or other team-related discipline, the baseball coach would have no obligation to back up Schafer's punishment. Obviously I have no insider knowledge at all as to the reasons for the split.

And the seemingly gratuitous implication that there was a rape (by Milo? a teammate? a past player? student-athletes generally? who the hell knows) or that the coaching staff doesn't care is pretty gross.

Listen, people, there's a group that it's acceptable to make false accusations against, and they're called Clarkson players.

I almost ran into Nickerson the other day...

... so I backed up and tried again.
