Where's Kennedy?

If he's smart, following Patrick Kane around and picking up the "scraps."

05-06, I believe.

I doubt Siwiec had a full ride. In fact, between the two of them, I'd be willing to bet Gillespie and Siwiec accounted for one full scholarship.

I don't know, and I doubt anyone here besides maybe Rogie does. Likewise we don't know just how much money 31, 35, or unknown future recruit will be getting in 2011-2012.
I would, however, be surprised if BU let the Fields era end with 2 goalies who each had half a scholarship and 1 who was a pure walk on, sounds completely illogical to me.

i wouldn't believe that.. JC was the walk on. siwiec was a june '02 summer before school signing. dizzy in the fall before he showed up two years later.

fields 99-00 season (and came a season early after ricky d left)
infamous "mj player" sebastian laplante 00-01 season
siwiec 01-02
curry 02-03
dizzy 03-04
bb 05-06
kraus 06-07
millan / rollie 07-08

i remember a bc buddy of mine calling me after he saw bavo drop off dizzy at logan to go home after a recruiting trip. he stood around as dizzy got on the phone and told whomever it was about the "new NHL arena they were building and how excited he was to be coming to play in it".

I think KG and Siwiec may have each had a full scholarship for the 04-05 season, but I don't think Siwiec was a big enough recruit to be given a four year full scholarship when he first came in. It was clear well before the start of the 05-06 year that neither one of these guys was getting playing time, and I'm sure things were adjusted accordingly.

Who's "Dizzy?"

[Federal League]

Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

Who's "Dizzy?"

Gillespie

[Rogie21]

Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

Who's "Dizzy?"

Karson Gillespie.

Please tell me that was only a fan nickname and not one from his teammates, though hockey players usually aren't too original with nicknames.

They all pale compared to Chris Berman's gems--two personal favorites: Oddibe "Young Again" McDowell and Jim "Two Silhouettes on" Deshaies.

I seriously doubt many of his teammates would even get the Dizzy reference. Certainly most of their musical tastes tended to lean in a different direction. As for originality, see if he answers to "Giles" next time you see him.

I'm sure it was a fan nickname, as I doubt many 18-24 year old hockey players know who Dizzy Gillespie is.

My favorite Bermanisms: Curtis "My Favorite" Martin and Andre "Bad Moon" Rison.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gillespie was dubbed "Dizzy" on this board way back in the day by a very smart and handsome member of Pinhead Nation when he committed because of the double meaning since he would be turning around so often fetching pucks from his net he'd be dizzy, no? Scarlet will remember...

"Bad Moon" Rison was a good one. Brian "Totally" Skrudland was another good one. His hockey ones were phenomenal. Jaromir Jagrmeister...
