Recruits 2025 and Beyond

While Cornell does end up with some drafted/heralded players, it's always because they commit early before they've received much hype.

Let's say "usually."  Alex Green was already a highly regarded 4th round draft pick when he committed. Joakim Ryan and Brian Ferlin were both hyped as incoming players.  Riley Nash was practically an "I'm taking my talents to Ithaca" press conference.

I won't mention Sasha.  Poor Sasha...

Initials are XV.  Be cool if Catalano gave him number 15 to wear.

That would be great.  He's a simple 5 at Muskegon. Go full Roman.

Green was drafted by Tampa after his Freshman season.

I think you have these backwards. Green and Ryan were drafted after their freshman seasons. I'd have to go back to see when Ferline was drafted, but I suspect it was well after he committed to Cornell. Nash committed because his older brother was coming. So I don't believe any of these are cases of players with hype before they committed (except perhaps Nash, but that was a special case because of his brother).

I said they were hyped coming in.

I may be wrong about Green's draft year though.

Veilleux is unique because he was already drafted when he committed, that's my point.

If I'm going to have a fight on Thanksgiving that I don't understand I'll stick to my family.

Michael Dec is joining Owen Sound of the OHL after the New Year as an "affiliate" player for the remainder of the 2024-25 season; as an affiliate player he's limited to 10 games this season, but will be a full-time player in 25-26. He's still on track to arrive in Ithaca in the Fall of 2026.

https://windsornewstoday.ca/midwestern/sports/2024/12/26/attack-sign-michael-dec-to-new-agreement This article says 27-28 but maybe that's just his team being hopeful that he stays until he ages out.

Apparently he can play more than 10 under Ontario Hockey Association regulation 23.1:

All affiliate players (16 year-olds and older) are permitted to play 10 games as an affiliate player. Once their registered lower category team is eliminated from regular competition including playoffs, Affiliate players can play an unlimited number of games at the higher level only if they have played a minimum of 10 games with their registered lower category team. Players not meeting this requirement will be limited to 10 games only with the higher category as an affiliate.

Christ I feel like Jory Jordan.

Caton Ryan, a center with the Penticon Vees of the BCHL, has committed to Cornell.  He was placed on the NHL Central Scouting preliminary players to watch list last year, & is a Clarkson decommit.

[chimpfood]

Also decommitted from colgate previously, wouldn't count on him until he's in the building at this rate.

[CAS]

His prior commitments were to schools where the coaches had left (including Casey to Cornell).
