UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

[UMLFan]

Most of the younger/early commitments under Norm don't pan out anyways. They end up going no higher than NAHL and hardly see the ice.

It's a tough comparison though. The ones I'm talking about are 16 when they make their commitments and in most cases are in school at 18. That's just not who Bazin recruits.

Coaches in places it should pick up plus it’s August 1,

Yeah, that really doesn't apply to Lowell. The past few years, all I have seen is the big schools picking up the young commits starting on this date.

Tomorrow is an important day in college hockey. Beginning each year on August 1, rising 11th graders may verbally commit to NCAA Division I men's hockey programs.

Slow and easy on the recruiting trail that’s us

No team in any of the 4 big conferences has less commits than Lowell except for Bowling Green.

Take it for what it’s worth, heard from someone that knows someone in Lowell recruiting. Lowell trying for Reid Conn at Fargo Force. Anyone know anything about him?

It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but with another NHL Draft in the books, Lowell had no current players or commits picked.

I get the frustration, and used to be in the same boat. As somebody mentioned, draft picks don’t always pan out. I have since shifted to how many make an NHL development camp, especially for a team like ours where we recruit older players. I believe we have 7 in various camps across the NHL, which is a decent sized number for a program.

You might want to check those numbers. I think you counted commits that were ranked but not selected in the draft. The totals that were actually drafted were BC 6, BU 5, UMass 4, UNH 3, Maine 1, Merrimack 1, Providence 1, Northeastern 0, UML 0 and Vermont 0.

You're right. Thank you.

We're the only Hockey East program that didn't have a single current or future player picked, as the others combined for 43. BC had 7, BU 6, UConn, UNH, and Northeastern 5 each, UMass and Maine 4 each, Merrimack 3, Vermont and PC 2 each.

I know they don’t always pan out, but as a fan I like seeing at least a few kids on the roster that have been drafted. I also like seeing quality OOC opponents visit. I’m disappointed these two things are no longer happening.
