Recruits

I think we can all agree that there are still some gaping holes in the current recruiting class

Where are the brothers (twins preferably) !!?!!!??
Did someone not get the memo that the Devins are graduating?

We have filled holes, though, with both a Mc and a Mac coming in.  These are time-honoured Canadian hockey names (albeit in this case they are both from Michigan, but that's essentially Southern Ontario).

Just as long as there are no Murphys! :-}

I was quite surprised that Tyson and Tylor Spink (Cornwall Colts) chose Colgate.

RPI can't get them all. :-)

Heisenberg lists a new recruit for 2013, Eric Sade, a defenseman from Washington, D.C.  Last year he was selected by Des Moines in the 5th round of the USHL futures draft. My guess is that he'll spend a year or two there.

Eric's stats.

And a picture.  He's got hockey hair, anyway.

Ever since read this about Eric Sade committing to Cornell, I can't get this song out of my head.  Oh boy.  He better be good. ;-)

BRP did report that he's a Smooth Operator, but then again we know that love is stronger than pride.

I would note that very few top prospects stay in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League for their U18 seasons....but there are exceptions.

One of his teammates is heading to UNH & another is going to Quinnipiac. There's 3 schools hoping you're wrong.

Yes, you see lots of these announcements from the AYHL, my point is more that a lot of them never make it to seeing D1 ice time.  I hope I'm wrong in all 3 cases.

He's from Maryland.  That's Lacrosse Hair.

I wouldn't be concerned with which league a recruit plays in his age-16 season. Sade has been drafted in the USHL (by the same organization that selected Locke Jillson from midget hockey), was recruited by several D1 schools, and now has committed to Cornell.  Kids have a lot of non-hockey reasons for choosing their leagues, such as the desire to live at home with family for more time, to stay in the same high school for an extra year, etc.  Keep in mind that Sade excels in another sport (track).  Sade will get his chance to play in a more challenging league before he arrives at Cornell.  For now, he's getting great playoff experience.

I'm much more impressed by the U16 national teams than most of the U18 teams.  There are exceptions, but I think the best path is U-16 National to prep school to the USHL.  The U16 National team for my program can beat the U18 team I'm pretty sure.  Some of the '94 kids who aren't quite good enough to make the U16 National team are on the U18 team in our program.  Washington Caps have strong teams at both the U-16 National and U-18 level, perhaps it's different in their case.

BRP reports that John McCarron has been named USHL offensive POTW.

If you follow the link, you'll also see this week's defensive player of the week, Jordan Schmaltz -- a NODAK recruit. This reflects one recruiting advantage I'd never thought of before.

With a name like that, wouldn't you want to go someplace where most people don't even know what schmaltz is? It's hard to think of a better place than Grand Forks.
