New Recruits

[rYe]

To get off the topic of the Minnesota game, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any good recruits coming in for next season?  I'd like to see who fills in for Cook. He will be tough to replace.

There's already a whole thread dedicated to this: http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,55814

no worries!  Play around with the site...actually create an account and log in and the site will keep track of the messages you have read and allow you to communicate with other members through private messages (sort of an internal, eLynah mail system).

check out the "search" feature found in the link above this post (or http://elf.elynah.com/search.php?1 )...we've covered a million topics already (seriously, a million)...and people don't readily answer questions that can be answered quickly in the same time using the "search" feature.

Check out the links to the left...lots of information there...I would start with the "FAQ"  and "TBRW?"

Don't even start the debate of Apple vs Windows...don't laugh, it's a sensitive subject around here :-P

And finally, be liberal in your use of smileys...it will help maintain a level of civility and understanding...we all are passionate about Cornell hockey and that can often lead to poor communication

Enjoy!

Nonetheless, rYe definitely has a good idea. Not a bad idea to start focusing on the future already. Rather than just recapping the recruits, anyone want to comment on the makeup of next years team? Analyze the new recruits and talk about where they may fit in, or even existing players.

Might be a healthier way to focus our energy right now

A very good point indeed. I, for one, am ready to focus on the great things to come. Perhaps someone would be so kind as to summarise the other recruit threads here? Give us a list of the players we know are coming to Cornell next year?

Projected Roster: http://www.tbrw.info/2006/2006ProjectedRoster.html

G:

No idea whether DiLeo will compete for time or whether he's Pizza Hut insurance.

D:

Sasha and Krantz will provide the offense, Gleed is a solid D, O'Byrne needs to step up his game, Glover looked good towards the end of the past season; then a three-way battle for the last starting slot.


F:

Even if the incoming players aren't ready yet, that's a great returning group of forwards.  Topher will be a year stronger and better, Sawada and Carefoot will start to break out, the others are known quantities, from Moulson's production to the Abbott's steady two-way play.

To summarize the incoming recruits:


Forwards

Matt Connors - played for the New York Apple Core, hurt for a bunch of the season, perhaps underperformed this year but put up enormous numbers the prev. year in his midget league, was recruited by 38 of 58 D-I schools.

Evan Barlow - #2 scorer on BCHL's Salmon Arm Silverbacks, one of the top scorers in the league. Brother played at Harvard.

Tyler Mugford - committed a year ago, deferred for a year. Mid-pack on his team in scoring, leads in penalty minutes. A sparkplug, seems Hornby-esque. Plays for the Nanaimo Clippers

Ryan Kindret - leading scorer on the Quesnel Millionaires of the BCHL. A pretty big power forward.

Mike Kennedy - A center, playing with the St. Thomas Stars in the Ontario Jr. B league. good regular season numbers, led the league in playoff goals.

Defensemen

Jared Seminoff - Good size, solid defender. Plays for Nanaimo. Was one of the Clippers' top defensemen.

Taylor Davenport - Plays for the Drayton Valley Thunder. Smaller (5'10). His coach says "He really plays with an edge, but is playing in a way where he's waiting for his opportunity to hit people, not just running around looking to hit somebody."

Goaltender

Dan DiLeo - traded from Fargo - Moorhead of the NAHL to Wichita Falls, and has carried the load for the team, keeping them in the playoff hunt. Decent to good stats on a weak defensive team. G:35 W:22 L:7 OTL:6 GAA: 2.94 SV%: .913

Recruits coming in 2006

Colin Greening - Highly ranked in the mid-term rankings for the now cancelled NHL draft. Big power forward, going to play in Nanaimo next year.
Justin Milo - Topher Scott II. 5'6", #6 in goals scored in the entire USHL. Could really light up the USHL next year.
Tony Romano - played in the US Under-17 team that played in Germany. Plays in a weak league, unknown where he'll play next year, but high scoring, fast, good hands.

Well I would be happy if these guys could preform like this year's freshmen class did, and ecstatic if they could produce like the class of '06 did in their first years. :-D

I actually saw Milo play on Friday night and he is definitely a different player than Scott.  He is much more of a goal scorer with an absolutely deadly release.  He is a bit bigger than scott and skates differently.  He is a very gifted offensive player who could step right in as a freshman and score a lot especially with all the open forward spots when he comes in.

What is the history of committed recruits for the year after (eg for the fall of 2006 right now) actually staying committed and showing up on campus?

[billhoward]

What's your thinking: His jumping from Cornell to the Tute would help the GPA of both schools? He wants to get an early head start on spring break each year?

(Let the 2005-06 sniping begin. Where are the Clarkson faithful? The Lynah Faithful are now just about as gainfully without purpose as you are, other than griping about the rink size and officiating and seediing and ... )

[Will]

My total guesses at the lines for next year.  Feel free to pick apart:

Mugford - Chris Abbott - Sawada
Moulson - Bitz - Hynes
Connors - Barlow - Carefoot
Cam Abbott - Pegoraro - Scott

Seminoff - O'Byrne
Krantz - Gleed
Pokulok - Glover

And McKee likely starts just about every game once again, barring injury or illness.

The order of those lines can change, to be sure.

I don't recall a deferred player ever failing to show up.  The only committed player I can remember Cornell losing was Casson Masters, but he was to attend Cornell in year N, then bailed and came in for Princeton in year N+1, which is not quite the same thing.
