Re: Boston University season thread 4: Where BC comes to talk hockey
I believe he had a hand in the initial recruiting of some of this year's rising seniors. They arrived on campus in the fall of 2010, so inevitably, some were scouted and initially recruited before Quinn left in the summer of 2009.
That said, there isn't much of a dearth of talent on this squad, and it's not as drastic as in football where you bring in a new head coach and he's got to implement guys that run his scheme. Certainly he'll probably do some things different than Parker from an X's and O's perspective, but I don't see him going to the MacDonald clutch and grab and fall asleep offense that would require certain guys. It's fair to evaluate on ice results after one season because he has enough pieces right now even if #13 and #19 leave to have a successful season, but we won't know his direct impact on recruiting for at least a year or two.
