Recruits 2014

[Give My Regards]

I believe that Craig Brush '72 son played elsewhere -- maybe Princeton?  And Jim Gibson's son was a star lax player at Yale.

There's a Matt Brush who played for Princeton and subsequently for the Florida Everblades.

Which reminds me -- I keep meaning to ask, is this for real?  I have yet to find a confirmation.

(Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the outdated scoring system)

Well it doesn't exactly fit here as a 2014 recruit, but Chris Heisenberg is now listing Joey Kubachka a right wing for the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers as a Cornell 2017 recruit. Heisenberg lists him as 6'2", 175 lb, and born 7/4/98.

Easiest nickname ever.

All of the players listed by Heisenberg as entering in Fall '15 or later are American born.

Michael O'Leary probably for 2016

Michael O'Leary probably for 2016

"The six-foot-one left-winger was projected by many to go high in the upcoming QMJHL draft being held in Shebrooke, Que. on May 31. HockeyProspect.com had the Halifax native ranked 12th overall."

Hrm.

Well, let's hope so, but we've seen this movie before.

Many highly regarded players committed to attend Cornell in the next 2-3 years. Congrats to the coaching staff.  Drop the puck!

Like Trotsky hinted at, we've had "highly regarded" players lined up in the pipelines many times before. There's a lot that can happen to 16-17 year olds. Some just can't adjust to the college level, either skill-wise or ability to handle the physicality. Then there are those who were never seen as blue-chippers and then turn into Matt Moulson.  Some have talent, but don't do the work necessary, and others fit in so well that they play above their head for four years.

Recruit threads are games in themselves. I read these, but reserve judgement until I can see what they can do at Lynah.

BTW, has anybody been following the whole "gentleman's agreement" stuff happening now?

The end of that piece has a comment on Ivy practices.

That's, actually, a really, interesting (but) oddly written, article. Certainly, however (an) unusual (sort of) style.

My guess is that the style indicates where word salad was paraphrased to convert it back to English, since the parentheticals appear within quotes.

For example: One assistant coach said: "(Minnesota doesn't) seem to be into stealing a bunch of kids. was probably "they don't seem..." but rather than write to the quote, the authors clarified that Minnesota was who the speaker was referencing.

When should we expect Cornell to announce the hockey recruits entering this fall?

It was done on June 3rd last year so, soon I would guess.

These "Gentlemans Agreements" are really a form of price fixing that operates to the benefit of the institution and the detriment of the student athlete. It effectively prevents a student from getting a better deal at an alternative institution. (Of course the NC$$ is all for this).

The last time the Ivy's did this they got threatened price fixing charge:

Big Red Puckhead has posted a nice article on recruit Dwyer Tschantz, who is headed to Ithaca this fall. Wish I knew how to provide a link...
