Could Ted Donato be a key to Cornell's recruiting?

I'll believe that when Louis Leblanc transfers.:-P

Hey - it could happen.  After a year at Harvard, perhaps he'll be inspired to take his academics seriously!  :-D

A Montreal Gazette article about Hudon:

http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Hudon+uses+size+smarts+make/2318805/story.html

"So when he was invited to the summer evaluation camp for Quebec's entry at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, to be held in Timmins, Ont., Dec. 29 to Jan. 4, Hudon knew he was an underdog to make it out of the 40-odd players at the camp ... Hudon got the news that he made the team two weeks ago, but really it should come as little surprise, because players like him don't grow on trees."

"Hudon's play last season was attracting college scouts in droves, but they won't be coming to see him anymore, as he announced last month he will be attending Cornell University in either 2011 or '12. With a 3.7 grade-point average, he will likely be academically eligible a year early."

By "a year early" do they actually mean a year early?  Heisenberg has him as born 4/15/93 which would mean that in the fall of 2011 he'd be 18, which seems fairly standard, but the Montreal Gazette article says he's currently a sophomore at Choate, which would mean he'd just have finished his junior year of prep school in the fall of 2011.  So I guess my question is...  can you do that?  Don't you have to finish high school (or prep school) before Cornell will admit you as a freshman?

Sounds like he's quite a player, in any case - if I'm not mistaken, kids playing outside Quebec are at an unofficial disadvantage in tryouts for Quebec youth teams.

If you mean 4 years, no. Prof. Maas's son, Dan, came to CU at 16. Here's a CU report on his involvement with the Mars Rover video. I don't remember the whole story, but it goes something like: he got bored in HS and asked his father about college. CU accepted him, but I suspect he did the course work needed for graduation.

Huh.  I guess come to think of it I should've known that, I have a cousin who was one of those child-prodigy types who started school when he was like 14, but that was Brown so not a real college.  :-D

Is it me, or has our recruiting picked up a notch? With the occasional Riley-Nash exception, it seems in past years our top recruits were ranked in the relatively low double digits (1x or 2x) by Heisenberg. It seems now we're getting several single-digit rankings (Iles, Hudon, etc.) and more in the low double digits.

Not that I'm complaining mind you. ::banana::

[Drift alert] It isn't just the changing language that confounds us as the years progress. Time also makes you rethink what's young. Ann Bancroft seemed old in Goodbye Columbus; she was 36. Verna Blum (Marion, Mrs. Dean Wormer) seemed old in Animal House; she was 39.  Now Sandra Bullock seems hot in Blind Side; she's 45. Not to mention Renee Russo in Tin Cup. Or Sean Connery in most any decade. To a teenager, anything between 40 and 70 is old and pretty much indistinguishable. OTOH Bobby Bowden has always looked old. Paul Newman always looked young until he was seventy-something.  There will come a time when you return for a reunion and say, "You know, that 50th reunion class doesn't look that old." It is a scary and sobering moment and you probably should think about that advanced directive.

[Further drift] There's a limit to how hip a parent can be without it being forced. Similarly, black comics get good mileage out of white people trying too hard to act black. Bethany Van Delft (who is Puerto Rican, black, and Dutch): "The only white thing I do is listen to hip-hop."
