UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

[Robert Balin]

You keep listing Dauphinais as decommitting, but the NAHL website and his own Twitter page both list him as a Lowell commit.

Heisenburg has him as uncommitted, league pages don't update as often sometimes.

Heisenburg has him as uncommitted, league pages don't update as often sometimes.

Considering that he's new to the league, this would be an initial update when he was added to the roster.

As already noted, I'm just going by Chris' site. I just checked Neutral Zone and they also show him as uncommitted. In February, Barry's write up on the recruits also didn't include him. In regards to his Twitter page, he hasn't done anything there since June so I'm not sure how applicable that is. Just going off what I have for info.

His NAHL team page does not list him as a UML commit.

To be fair, none of the individual player pages list college commitments.

Not exactly true. For example, see the player page for an MSU recruit (my rooting interest) who was recently demoted to the NA from the USHL:

But I'm not trying to be argumentative and I certainly have no inside intel in UML's case.

Adam Cardona is now showing as a Lowell recruit on the latest game sheet.

Dauphinais's page now lists him as a Lowell commit.

Providence picked up 2 more '06 commits in the last few days, bringing them to 5 (BU has 6).

To put this in perspective, Lowell's youngest commit currently is an '04. The rest are all '03. Holy Cross has 4 '05 commits.

From Barry on Twitter

”UMass Lowell nets commitment from Latvian goaltender Karlis Mezsargs. 6-3, 182-pound netminder playing for Tri-City of the USHL. Will likely arrive in Lowell next fall.”

Mezsargs is a 4* recruit as per NeutralZone. That's one of the higher rankings we've ever received as a commitment. He's another '03 (albeit December 12, 03).

Central Scouting released their preliminary players to watch list today and Lowell and UNH are the only two Hockey East schools without a player on the list:

Here's a breakout.

BC	2	2	2	1	7
BU			6	1	7
MAI		1			1
MAS	1		4		5
MER			1		1
NE			5		5
PRO		1			1
UCT	1		2		3

Not all that surprising for Lowell because ... well, it never is. But with how Bazin recruits, we're never going to get too many on this list. And considering that of our commits, only one even fits the age range for that list (Dolzhenko), it's even less surprising.

Another way to think about it, UMass just picked up their 6 '06 commit, Lowell only has one '04.
