Early Departures and Signings '18-'19

Re: Early Departures and Signings '18-'19

It was said in jest. But...

He also has a track record of not honoring commitments.

This is true. Well, it is if you ignore the fact that the reason he switched from Harvard to BC was because Harvard didn't accept him into the university. You may not have known that, but Nate Wells certainly did and its pretty pathetic to see him (and so many others) reassuring their own lives by mocking an 18 year old kid while simultaneously and willfully ignoring the facts. Decommitments happen all the time in today's game. Early departures happen so often that we are literally having this discussion in a thread entirely devoted to early departures...

The only difference between Wahlstrom and so many others (Including Joel Farabee, who committed to UNH extremely young, before decommitting and choosing BU - which he left after a single year.) is that OW got denied admission by his second commitment. But sure, lets mock the kid for getting pressured into a commitment to Maine at 13 years old. I mean, anyone who follows college hockey knows those commitments always stick. Aside from the dishonorable, at least...

Doubtful Farabee would have made it through UNH admissions. :-)

Re: Early Departures and Signings '18-'19

The leader in NCAA DI penalty minutes, Lukas Craggs, signs with Nashville after his junior year at Bowling Green. That's two early departures from BG this year.
