Two different people, a blogger and a reporter, have tweeted that he is staying at Harvard.

you know... Albie brings in another class and donato lays an egg with that too - harvard could do worse dumping donato and letting albie run with it.

Any of these Igles (to use a Mookie term) going to leave early? Hayes, Arnold, Matheson, Johnny-penalty...Getting tired of their guys never turning pro early

Professional/Administrative Positions*
(Grades 71–82)

Grade Minimum Midpoint Maximum

Hmm...that's not a whole lot of cash. I'd have thought that line of work would pay off a bit more.

BU being a private school, I'm sure they'd be willing to negotiate for the right coach. This is going to be Quinn's call for the most part, so if the guy he wants requires an extra $10K or something, he'll get it.

Johnny-penalty? Beyond lame...doesn't even make sense.

And rather than getting tired of bc guys sticking around, perhaps you should hope quinn recruits kids that actually care about where they are going to school, kids that wanna be at bu for a few years or *gasp* wanna stay and graduate, etc.

Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

Have to believe whoever you hire will get at least the max listed there.

I can't imagine the Blackhawks are too thrilled that their under achieving first round pick is sticking around the heights for another season. 17 goals in 3 years for 1st rounder ... Yikes

What does that have to do with your initial point? And I haven't seen any indication that chicago is upset at hayes for returning for his senior year.

You won't get an argument from me on his goal scoring...he still needs to be more aggressive. That's more than a valid criticism. At the same time, he was a dominating player this year in terms of puck possession and setting others up.

My point is that when high end talent sticks around 4 years, it often means that player has underachieved. That has often worked out in BC's favor because the player finally gets it together by his senior year

Give me another example...

Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

Give me another example...

How about Cross sticking around for his senior year and Kreider for his Jr. year. The two main reasons you won in 2012. Both stuck around because they underachieved the year before. Take nothing away from your success, but that's been a big part of it.

[J.D.]

Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

You said senior year, so take kreider out. And you said underachieving, so take cross out. He had a great junior year and the only question mark with him has been his health. My point to you is that every kid/situation is different. Yes, bc has benefited by guys staying longer than at other schools. You should hope quinn can do the same thing. There's no reason why he can't.
