Another NE/MA team without a NE/MA recruit - truly don't get it. That being said, Merrimack isn't really a high draw for NE prep school players so that probably plays a role in this.

Penn State announced the incoming class (in a roundabout way at the end of this article):

Katie McMillan - (Excelsior, Minn.)...did someone say Minnetonka?
Brooke Madsen - (Eagan, Minn.)
Kate Rydland - (Eden Prairie, Minn.)
Caileah Forrest - (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
Amanda McLeod - (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
Daniela Paniccia - (Oakville, Ontario, Canada)
Abby Welch - (East Amherst, N.Y.)

Pathetic.

The MC coaching staff is sub-par at best. I'm personally not a fan of Brent Hill's coaching or recruiting. He gets these jobs because he is a nice guy.

Will MC pull a Penn State and send some players packing?

if they can get kids from Minnetonka HS, yeah, they probably will :o
 
Re: 2016-2017 Division I Commitments

With Penn State graduating 12 seniors, and only bringing in 7 freshmen, that drops the roster from the current 27 players to 22 players next season (including 3 goalies). Would you expect them to run with that, or would you expect some off-season transfers to come in?

Based on the number of disgruntled players who were cut they could probably pick up 3-5 out of the current student body....

Re: 2016 2017 Division I Commitments

Interesting article about the alarming trend of early recruiting. Must read.

http://laxmagazine.com/college_wome...ll_the_ncaa_act_to_slow_down_early_recruiting

If true it is way worse now that even 8-10 years ago when our kids went thru the process. Back then early recruiting starting at grade 10, but mostly in grade 11 onwards. back then earliest commits were usually kids in grade 11.

Re: 2016-2017 Division I Commitments

5 total for BC which are now official:

http://bceagles.com/news/2015/11/19/WIH_1119150139.aspx

Delaney Belinskas..........F..........(Williston Northampton)..........Port Orange, FL
Caitrin Lonergan.........F...........(Noble & Greenough/USA U18).........Roslindale, MA
Bridget McCarthy...........F.............(Noble & Greenough)............Pembroke, MA
Rachel Moore........F..............(Tabor Academy).............Falmouth, MA
Caroline Ross................D..............(NAHA).................Rochester, NY


BC now has 7 freshmen on the roster -- the above 5, plus:

Molly Barrow.............G..............East Coast Wizards...........Belmont, MA
Kate Annese..............F...............Mid-Fairfield CT Stars..........Needham, MA

Other than Lonergan who I know enough about to know she's going to be good, does anyone know anything about the other 6?
 
Re: 2016-2017 Division I Commitments

Barrow is coming in as a third goalie.
Annese is more than likely a 4th liner or healthy scratch.
Ross is an animal of a defenseman. You will love her.
Bridget McCarthy can fly. I see her as a third line/penalty killing type forward.
Do not know Moore or Belinskas.
Lonergan is a great get. Could be a total stud.
