Hearing that Preds prospect defenseman Garrett Noonan will return to BU for his senior season.

Take it for what it's worth.

Right. Highly drafted players will almost certainly never play four years. There are exceptions, but if you get three years out of a highly drafted kid...be happy.

WTBU also reporting that Noonan says he plans to return.

Again, take it for what it's worth....

Sad story, I lived for a couple years at BU with the captains of the wrestling team at the time, both really good guys and the team themselves were really cool when they came over. A grueling sport, I'll say that. Their training and weight maintenance regimens were enormous.

That's really too bad. I was good friends with a few wrestlers during my time at BU, and they often spoke of how lucky they were to have Carl Adams as their coach. I don't know much about wrestling, but they said that after Dan Gable, Carl was on a very short list of the all time greats. Interesting that it also comes on the heels of the IOC saying that they are dropping wrestling from the Olympics (though I did hear that there may be some reconsideration going on).

That's two of BU's longtime coaches having their tenure come to an end. Neil Roberts, Sally Starr....carry the torch.

It is a great sport, nobody out there but you and one other guy and he wants to twist you into a pretzel...really helps teach the values of hard work and overcoming adversity.

I was proud BU kept its program as long as it did. I refuse to believe the "massive" needs story...I recently heard a story of a school eliminating a sport that cost less to fund all year than it did to put the football team up in a local hotel before HOME games. Title IX comes to mind as does the cost of building the new lacrosse facilities...cowards.

With the budget BU has they could fund a wrestling team with a rounding error in the budget.

FWIW, they did travel fairly frequently for lengthy meets, there were very few home meets for the team, and being in the CAA, they were often quite far away, I think the closest meet I remember they went to was in Pennsylvania. Often they were going to Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and other not so close places. Travel might have played a factor here.

I wouldn't say I was good friends, but was quite friendly with a couple of wrestlers back in my time at BU... mostly from being around the athletic department etc... good guys. The times I met Coach Adams, he seemed like a first rate person. Sad to see him have the rug pulled out from under him like this.

I'm with Pirate though... I don't know what the budget was for Wrestling, but it could not have been all that much in the grand scheme of things. Looking at the schedule for 12-13, I counted 10 trips... 5 or 6 of which looked like they could be bus rides and not flights. I would think if they had wanted to keep it they could have with a little bit of savvy fundraising.

i got one after they changed the method of multiplication and addition (surprisingly enough, mookie was invited in for a focus group to hash out the new calc :eek:). not since though.
 
Re: Boston University season thread 4: Where BC comes to talk hockey

I don't see any real high end forwards in next year's recruiting class, so am guessing the loss of Nieto stings that much more. Hopefully Kurker and Lane, who were both pretty big recruits can help pick up the slack.

I don't think Kurker played all that much at the beginning, but then Cisse was gone and I think he started to play more. He's certainly big and BU's going to have to rely on players like him to step it up. O'Regan looks good but not sure on Lane adding more offense. There's Hohman and Rodrigues too. They look solid in net with MaGuire and O'Connor. BTW, BC had a goalie named O'Connor too a few years back to yesteryear.

Kurker didn't play nearly as much early, and I believe he came "a year early" (not sure of the exact circumstances), so I would expect to see him improve quite a bit. Actually you could see a big difference between the beginning and end of the year in his play.

Baillargeon, 93 DOB, 55 games, 18-23-41
Cangelosi, 94 DOB, 50 games, 18-42-60

Also of note, Cangelosi had 29 goals last season as a 17 year old in 53 games


No comparison, sorry.....
