Recruits 2026 and Beyond

[fastforward]

He's from just outside Rochester.  Those people are all crazy.

 Walshy and Kraft too?? 😆

Jake Kraft is a 5'8" dude who thinks he's 6'3"...

I'm all in for it too by the way he plays
I'd love to see more guts and gumption (wow, I feel like my grandpa saying that 😳) from some more players

Current commits.

Would anybody with some knowledge like to take a stab at predicting the Fall they will enter?  I assume Armstong (F) and Wehmann (F) are a lock for Fall 26.  With Alexis gone (still not official!!!) that probably means Cirka (G) comes in Fall 26 too.  Arend (F), Hughes (F), Randle (D), and Sandruck (F) all turn 20 prior to September.

My list for this fall is Armstrong, Wehmann, Hughes, Dec, Arend, Randle, Tuminaro. Six or seven skaters (depending on Walsh) leave and seven come in.

Cirka needs another year and I wouldn't even wager that he's better than Roest and Katz at this point in his career.

Same list as mine. I'll be honest, I think we're fucked if we don't get a good goalie in the portal. I'm assuming we can't pull off a late recruit due to the timing of Cournoyer's decision.

There are going to be more recruits. Good ones. You'll see.

I'd be more concerned about the churn, and what it does to the proverbial culture, than the talent Cornell is bringing in. But like I said, this is the problem everywhere.

Given that Cornell's entire lineup other than their goalie (and this post isn't about their goalie) is pretty much accounted for next season I'm not really sure what this could even mean. More guys leaving? 35 players on the roster?

I thought you meant C rating. Central scouting assigns letter grades to players in earlier rankings and I wasn't seeing that anywhere.

By "earlier" do you mean younger players, or an obsolete prior ranking scale?  I've only seen the 3.75 / 4.00 numeric scale.

NHL central scouting releases three sets of rankings per year (I think it's usually like October, January, April). Their initial ranking assigns players a letter grade. Their midterm and final rankings rank the players in order numerically.

Thank you.
