Congrats to Cornell for getting him. From everything that I can determine, he is an excellent player.

So this is early Early Decision?

FWIW, Heisenberg's site is now listing Greening for Cornell. I doubt this makes it any more official than ursaminor's info did, and for all we know it was plucked from here/uscho.

Well in their defense, I have never seen a recruit listed there that did not end up being accurate so I'll take his reporting as near-fact.  Based on Ursaminor's past posts, he definitely has a legitimate inside track and will take his reporting as near-fact as well.

Chris Heisenberg is usually a reliable source. ;-)

(There is, of course, his grandfather's uncertainty principle, so you can't be sure.  :-})

[calgARI '07]

Heisenberg lists another Cornell recuit, that being Mike Kennedy out of the Western Ontario League.  I think it's Junior B.  He's 6'2, 175 with 17-9-26 in 46 games last year.

I just dont get that. Very modest numbers in a Junior B league and he gets recruited to one of the best schools and teams in the nation? why?

I was thinking the same thing.  Maybe he fits a certain role very well.  
One has to think they are done looking for forwards for next year with five committed already and only three graduating.  That would give Cornell 17 forwards next year.  Seems like too many.  Maybe a couple of those guys are for 2006.

You can't judge the package from the numbers. He may be the greatest faceoff man since Nieuwy.  He may be a checking demon on skates.

If anyone remembers him I believe Phil Nobel, a player from the late 80's early 90's was from Nichols as well.

26 points in 46 games as a forward? Defenseman?

[calgARI '07]

listed as a center

It's theoretically possible to move a guy back from F to D.

The reason I mentioned on another thread, that I was interested in Dan Lodboa's #14 jersey, was because of that very point. He was a good forward on the 67-68 team, as a soph. The next season Coach Harkness "moved him back" to D. All he did was to become an All-American, at D, for the 1970 team. Not that those things are as likely in modern ;-)  times, but it certainly worked then. As an aside, that same year, 68-69, Coach Harkness moved Steve Giuliani from D to F.
