Recruits 2016 and Beyond

[scoop85]

No real surprises, although I wasn't certain if Donaldson was coming this fall or in 2018.  Looking at the Freshmen entries on the roster, more academic diversity than usual:  Betts is in Engineering, Green is in ILR, Haiskanen and Barron are in Arts & Sciences, Galadja's a Hotelie, McGrath's in HumEc, with Locke, Donaldson, Mullin, and Cairns the only Aggies.

Does it make you nervous when the students really want to be students? It's also kind of embarrassing when a Collin Greening had something like a 3.95 GPA and he was a standout hockey player, better than most of us in both things.

It makes me hopeful that they'll stay for all 4.

Does anybody (USCHO, etc) try to handicap the freshman classes the way they do in football and basketball?

No Lalor. No Wedman.

Anyone have any insight here? I wonder if Dan Wedman hung up his skates due to injury.

If you were to look at how they are coded in the university databases, you would see that Cairns, Donaldson, and Locke are students in the SCJ College of Business so one would not be completely off base to say that Mullins is the only "Aggie."

I've been wondering if the university was going to list students enrolled in the College of Business by that designation rather then the underlying school or college.  I guess for now the answer is no, even though to build the "brand" it would seem to make the most sense.  But I imagine the constituent pressures, especially from the Hotelies, precludes that option at least for the time being.

There's been some wild (and I assume completely unfounded) speculation about injuries on this forum lately...

Maybe so, but Wedman did miss most of last season due to injury so it's somewhat logical speculation.

Lalor was getting playing time there at the end and I liked what I saw.  That's a shame, to me.

Anyone know if we were in on this local guy?

He looks like a promising goaltender
