Re: UMass Lowell Offseason 2014: Brave New World
Their history doesn't mean all that much, unless as a negative. These kids want to go to BC or BU, but more importantly with the top tier recruits they want to play for Jack Parker or Jerry York or whoever is going to win. Parker is gone, and BU can live off it's rep for a few years, but bottom of the league in 3-4 years and you are going to see it in their recruiting.
They may have some good recruits coming in, but remember coaches aren't picking kids up the year before they come to school, alot of these kids committed 2-3-4 years out. Quinn has 2 more bad seasons and you will start to see the effect.
But for example, you have a kid that is being recruited by BU, UNH, UML and there is a pretty decent shot he is choosing UML. If it's BC, BU, and UML... well kids are going to go to BC, no doubt. Sooner then later York is going to hang it up, and that will hurt too. Kids want to play for the coach that is going to get them the exposure to win... and to develop into a NHL player. The BC/BU/NU/UML etc has less to do then with who is behind the bench. IMO
