Recruits beyond 2020

Matt Berniers, who's likely to be the 2nd pick (and is the son of a Cornell football alum)

Somebody done fucked up.  ::cuss::

Ian Moore, who was a 3rd round pick of Anaheim last year and is going to Harvard this year, is also son of a Cornell alum, who happened to be my fraternity brother.

Both Moore and Berniers are Massachusetts kids. Even with the Cornell legacy, it must be hard to get those kids to leave Boston when they can play near family at the U.S.'s most prestigious university in a great city for college hockey

Why cant we get a decent number of NHL draft picks

Berniers is going to Michigan. Not exactly near Boston.

He was committed to Harvard last year and only switched to Michigan late last summer when it became apparent the Ivies were likely not playing hockey last season.

Thanks. I'm sure that I saw that, but I certainly don't recall it. BTW, it is amazing that 4 of the top 5 picks and one more in the first round are either Michigan players or commitments.

Matt Berniers, who's likely to be the 2nd pick (and is the son of a Cornell football alum)

In an interview during the draft last night, Ron Francis, Seattle GM, mentioned that Beniers comes from a highly academic family with both his parents majoring in engineering at Cornell.  
Francis's daughter is also a Cornellian, so he obviously thinks highly of Cornell.  While his daughter was in school and he was Carolina GM, he saw the Big Red play several times, which resulted in his trading for the draft rights to Riley Nash.

Red recruit Justin Ertel picked in the 3rd round (#79) by Dallas Stars

Does C.U.encourage and fund athletic programs to attract academic talent? I am ignorant of the correlation between the the two. Maybe a crossover between academic and athletic donors is the key to this conundrum.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if having an all-Cornell family was a bit of a turnoff for some recruits.

Yeah, go to Hahvahd just to stick it to Mom and Dad......

Red recruit Justin Ertel picked in the 3rd round (#79) by Dallas Stars

Similar to Matt Steinberg, Ertel was drafted 3 or 4 rounds higher than projected.

Incoming D Hank Kempf just drafted by the Rangers in the 7th Round, pick #208.

[blackwidow]

Hank Kempf. Nice

[Trotsky]

This actually would have been my wife and my reaction with our daughter.

Incoming D Hank Kempf just drafted by the Rangers in the 7th Round, pick #208.

Drafted in the same round as his cousin, Stephen Baby, who was 7th Round, pick #188 in 1999.
