He sounds like a good prospect.

College interests: Boston College, Boston University, Providence College

“He’s not such a physical player but he’s very quick and a very good scorer. In every game he can score one, two, three goals,”

Interesting!

Correct. The AJHL isn't a great league (which isn't to say he isn't a great player), certainly not on the level of the USHL, or even the EJHL or the NAHL, so it will be interesting to see how he adjusts from that level of play to Div. 1.

[calgARI '07]

Yeah.  Wow.  I got it confused with another team in the EJHL but I'm very surprised to see that he comes from that league.  As matt said, it isn't a very good league at all, considered lower than New England Prep School - a league that Schafer blatantly stays away from.  Since he is an '06, I would be shocked if he weren't playing in the EJHL or USHL next year.

[calgARI '07]

Also, he is an '88 meaning he isn't even 17 yet so he should be growing more.

Is it possible that the kid wants to come to Cornell for his own reasons, whether or not Schafer actively recruited him?

[calgARI '07]

Not with his SAT scores (they are in his profile).

Those were his PSAT scores.  His SAT scores could be much higher...I know mine were.

And he has a 4.0 - I don't know anything about the school, but SATs aren't necessarily a great predictor of just about anything.

grr, looks like we lost another goaltender to UMich. A month or so ago, Michigan got a commitment from Billy Sauer who plays for the Chicago Steel, Topher Scott's old team. Anyway, he's considered one of the top goaltending prospects, and Cornell was one of his final choices.

Now Michigan took another possible goaltender, for the year after next.

"I always thought it was possible, I guess, but it never became a real serious possibility until just recently," said Jakiel, who will be part of Michigan's 2006-07 recruiting class.

If you were born in Michigan and your daddy is a UM grad, there's not a better school in the world with which to attach your name.

The offer came somewhat surprisingly, arriving days after Jakiel had visited and been offered a scholarship at Cornell.

Wolverines are classified as part of the 'weasel' family.

I didn't know that until last night (trivia question at Dino's).

[billhoward]

Wonder how many Cornell players cross-shopped Colgate-Clarkson-RPI as opposed to Michigan, BC, BU?
