I think there was an article posted here a while back where his junior team said he was the best NHL prospect they have seen since Sasha Pokulok.

mentions a kid on the Under 18 team named Luke Popko. Said that he had an unofficial visit to Cornell.

Anyone notice him during the game? Or hear if his interest in Cornell (and Cornell's in him) is legit?

Is there an NCAA distinction betwen "official" and "unofficial" visits (with the former being regulated)?

I sat next to Atkinson's parents during the game, they also said that Popko was looking at Cornell.

Considering his height/weight (5'10, 200 according to Heisenberg's site) and playing style, he sounds like he might be the Chris Abbott replacement (with more offensive upside).

There's noise on the BCHL message board that Joe Scali, a LW from the Alberni Valley Bulldogs has committed to Cornell. he's apparently flying down for this weekend's set of games.

6'0", 190lbs, 7th in the BCHL in goal scoring (12 goals, 17 total points in 18 games).  It's his 3rd year in the BCHL, and his scoring is dramatically better than before. He's supposed to be fast and a good penalty killer.

now we just need to get McKee's protege signed, and another defenseman or two, since who knows how long Pokulok/O'Byrne will hang around.

Well that would most definitely complete the forward group for next year with 2 LW's, 2 C's (including Fontas), and 2 RW's.  A lot of talent there, moreso than any other Cornell recruiting class I have ever seen.  As PFibiger said, now we await 2 or 3 more blueliners and an ELITE goalie.

Has there been any news on Morin?

I would assume Morin + Genoway would be quite a coup.

Are there any ELITE goalies left?

Depends what you mean by ELITE? Cheverie is having a very good year thus far in the BCHL, and as has been mentioned is considering Cornell, North Dakota, Denver, and Michigan State. Cushing's Richard Bachman (not entirely sure if that's the correct last name) is reportedly considering Cornell, BC, CC, and H@%*!&^.

[calgARI '07]

I think it's safe to say that Cheverie has elite potential.

I was under the impression that everyone discovered Cheverie's school choices from a USHR article and that it only mentioned Cornell, North Dakota and Denver.  Where did you hear about Michigan State?  I think the fact that Cornell, North Dakota and Denver are all recruiting this guy suggests that he is the real deal.

USHR, Oct. 1st note.

As others have said, Cheverie is without question an elite goalie.  #1 in GAA and #2 in SV in the BCHL as a rookie. My fingers are crossed after we lost out on both Sauer and Jakiel to Michigan.  The fact that Denver's Mannino and UND's Parise are both sophomores makes me feel even better about our chances. Both of those schools have solid #1s which would give Cheverie two years to ride the pine. At Cornell, if he's really the stud that he appears to be, he could get some games as a freshman and then take over the position as a soph.

I don't know much about Bachmeier from Cushing, but based on Heisenberg's rankings of the NE prep goalies, he sounds like he might be Plan B.

And the article said that Genoway was going on October flydowns. If he hasn't been to Cornell yet, it'll be this weekend. Maybe we'll hear something soon.

From what I hear Chad Morin is seriously considering Vermont.
