Recruits 2025 and Beyond

[Weder]

We flipped Lily Pachl [women's] from Sucks!!!

Link.

Will come in for '25.

She was a semifinalist for the Ms. Hockey Award in Minnesota, so she must be pretty good!

Looks like a nice additon! For context, Izzy Daniel and Lily Delianedis were Ms. Hockey finalists in Minnesota, and Joie Phelps from a few years back was a Ms. Hockey semifinalist.

With Bancroft and Robertson gone (at minimum), unless Casey can pull off some miracles in the portal (highly doubtful), this team is headed for a down period. I'm really sad that we went 0-for-3 in the regional final the past three seasons because it feels like it will be a long time before we get another chance.

Even before these departures, things were already looking tough because other teams like Clarkson and Quinnipiac were taking aging-out CHL players for next year. Cornell can recruit younger CHL players, but it seems unlikely any of the aging-out ones would come here as I assume most of them haven't even taken the necessary academic exams/requirements. So it was already going to be a transition for a few years, and that transition is now quickly becoming a full-blown rebuild.

I'm also really worried about Robertson's decision setting a precedent for non-graduates transferring out, which never happened at all under Schafer.

I'm going to take a step back from following this team,  I really hope we can remain nationally competitive but things are trending in a very bad direction now. Hutson's OT winner feels like a real sliding doors moment in the history of Cornell hockey, ugh.

Please take several steps back and spare us the perceived grief you can't seem to stop wallowing in.  And think hard about getting a real life.

Justin Milo, Mike Regush, Joe Leahy...I'm sure there are others I'm not recalling at the moment.

I thought Leahy was in the same boat as Green, Donaldson, Barron, and others in that class year due to COVID

Ben Tupker, much more recently.

Not counting those who transferred out during the canceled season. Also, I believe Regush and Leahy graduated. I said "non-graduate."

Don't you have some football playcalling to complain about?

Regush transfered after his junior year (the COVID season). He was a senior at Miami Ohio, not a grad student. And yup: Ben Tupker is also in the same boat.

He graduated. I said "non-graduate."

Really? He graduated from Cornell after his junior year and yet still had two more years of eligibility at Union?

Correct. Says so right on his LinkedIn page.

Incorrect. Both Regush and Tupker graduated from Cornell. Says so right on their LinkedIn pages. Regush attended Miami for his master's degree in accounting. Tupker graduated from ILR and then went to Union for a graduate degree in economics.

I'm sure I knew that at some point, but I apparently forgot. Carry on.

At least we know Schafer was serious about the team's academic performance if all these players were completing their degrees after 3 years.
