Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2019 and Beyond
There's a huge gulf between the approach that initially saw UNH seek to commit Commesso as a 14 yr. old kid, and the approach 'Watcher outlined earlier, where "goalies are the one area where its best to wait", and aside from NHL first round types, "there's lots of 18-19 year olds out there". Maybe they projected Commesso as one of those NHL first rounders at the time? Not sure, maybe that's still the outlook? Or maybe it was just as a nod to the since-departed Buckley, simple as that?
But it just strikes me as inconsistent that once Commesso decommitted - for whatever reason - UNH hasn't since moved to fill his projected future roster slot. There's certainly no shortage of incomings (and in depth) everywhere else, up and down the depth chart, for years to come. Maybe they've assigned Conklin to be on the lookout for the "special one", whom ha can take under his wing and (as a past NHL goalie) show him the way forward might run through Durham? I hope that's the case, because otherwise I'm increasingly left to wonder if there's a "goalie plan" in place at all ...
