Hockey East Recruiting Rankings…Maine is looking up, but give Guite some time on the trail.

Surprising to see Maine and UNH at the bottom. Is there much difference in the classes once you get past the top four or five?

Interestingly enough, Lowell is never near the top of these lists yet Norm Bazin continues to churn out teams that are competing for championships. JMO but right now he and Leaman are the top two coaches in this league.

Add Quinn and your opinion is right on top 3 coaches CURRENTLY.

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Interesting thoughts on coaches. Tom Brady was all washed up a year ago as well.

Not to discount y'alls thoughts as they are all very good, but I'll stick with the old pro that has 4 NC's over the last 14 years, and brought a team that couldn't hit the broad side of a bull's arse with a base fiddle last year, to the NCAA dance. I know of one of the above mentioned that couldn't accomplish that.

Leaman has shown he can win the big one. Everyone else?... show me the money.

FWIW... I'll take Cavanaugh over all comers when Jerry decides to hang 'em up.
JMO.

Are you crazy ????!!!!! Wait , dumb question, we already know the answer

Jewry has more losses than all of m combined prolly....both him and that bu stud would be nowhere without all those extra virgin blue Chiapas coming in.

The list of coaches who have one significant hardware without significant talent is short (Walsh in 99 is one that comes to mind). And even they don't do it consistently, because once the winning starts, the blue-chippers start lining up. Then they are expected to win.

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Thought it was time to revive this thread so we can separate the negativity, which is a reality these days, with the hope of better things to come! With a recruiting class set to arrive in Orono that marks, IMHO, the very first real class under Red, Ben and Jay, which we hope will be a base for a new foundation at Maine with Chase Pearson, Patrick Holway, Pat Shea, and Jake Pappalardo here's an article on another forward that is highly regarded in Craig Needham for 2018 http://mainehockeyjournal.bangordail...illed-forward/

And checking Heisenberg today I also see a commit from Ryan Smith of the Green Bay Gamblers a 6'0" forward for 2017. Not sure where all these guys will fit, but when you skate only 1 or at best 2 quality lines suffice it to say some of the guys who have been seeing action could see themselves as depth guys in the next two years.

More likely than not he has to sit the year.

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Any chance all 8 of those forwards crack the starting lineup next season? I'm guessing Shea, Pearson and Pappalardo should be locks, with the orest fighting for spots, or are there a couple of others who should step right in?

Fossier could as well and maybe Doherty. I won't be surprised to see Chase on the top line as a freshman

I think you need to swap Smith and Drobot. I believe Drobot is at least a year away and maybe two. He didn't do very much in the NAHL this year. I would expect pappalardo, Shea, Pearson, Doherty, and fossier would all be in the lineup.

I could be wrong but I thought Smith was listed as 2017
