BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

If Sampo Ranta does make a move, maybe having a Finnish teammate in Kotkansalo would be an appealing factor in his decision as to where he goes. With Brady’s unfortunate decision, we have an opening and from what I’ve read, he seems to be a raw talent with great upside....

Back in March, Cox (“CHRR”) reported on this thread that BU had interest but I had not heard anything since.

Here's my article I just published on him with 2 quotes from Carrabes on why he chose BU, his strengths and weaknesses, and more.

Also, back on March 1, I rated him as the top '01 prospect in MIAA (Mass HS Hockey)

Great skater. Saw him play for St. John's Prep a couple of times in the Super 8. Was the most noticeable player on the ice.

For 2020-21. Speedy 5-10 RW from N.Andover. Top scorer and goal-scorer on St. John's Prep last season (21-13-34). Transferring to Kimball Union Academy. Cox reported that several top prep schools were competing for him. Had a strong performance at BU's recent Prep Camp.

That makes me feel better. Some time between SJP and BU is needed, based on our old friend Sam Kurker.

Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 4

So how do we (or do we) fill the vacancy created by Tkachuk? We have scholarship $$ that could, I suppose, be used to augment support of current players who don’t have a full ride. It would seem that we have an chance to be tactically opportunistic, however.

Is it too early to come up with nicknames for Vlasic? I'm sure he has heard them all his life. I'm going with "Dilly".

CTV News interview with '20 recruit and projected 2020 first rounder Dylan Peterson. NTDP U17s this year. Nice lid.

He's 6'5" so gets to choose his own nickname. Cousin is Sharks' D Marc-Édouard Vlasic.

Any idea what is going on with Quinnipiac losing these good kids to BU?
