Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

AKA as a 2/4, which is very common at the BU's and BC's of the world.

So he walked on and eventually received a scholarship as an upperclassman.

Hokydad = wrong again

No he didnt.

He was a recruited scholarship athlete. He went in on a 2/4 scholarship.

Period

Did Nick Bonino walk on at BU?

FYI, his parents drove him there the first day, was way to far to walk

You are wrong

He was a recruited walk-on. He paid for his first two years with the hope he'd get a scholarship. If he flopped, he wasn't getting the last two paid for. He rolled the dice and won. I thought his scholarship was academic and not athletic, but I'll trust Profromdover who, unlike you, tends not to speak out of his netheregions.

Too bad he didn't go to that academically superior Providence College...

He didnt say that moron

He said he received money his last 2 years, exactly like most if not all 2/4's work.

You get the money your jr/sr year, thus the incentive to stay.

Just like you thought it was an academic scholarship, where you were wrong(not the least bit shocking) you are wrong again, kind of like breathing for you

Hokey, just admit you were wrong and step away from the clown mask and duct tape.

Smith was guaranteed nothing when he came to BC. He was a recruited walk-on who was given a scholarship his junior year.

Incentive to stay? Where the hell was he going???

If he didn't perform in his first two years, he wasn't getting that money. He wanted to come to BC and was willing to take a chance which paid off.

Now us all a favor and go into your profile, and delete your username. I'm sure someone as smart as you can better spend their days studying at the second-ranked (regional) Providence College than spending 24/7 following around the Marshfield Pee Wee B team.

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

Exactly.

so their top line center on their natl championship team was not ona scholarship and had zero options before that?

Wrong again

I am sure teh Junior Bruins, who are very closet o BC put up a bs post and just left it there.

Wrong again dude...


He really had zero options...
"recruiting process that involved nearly a dozen schools"

He had a 2/4, period.

You mean kind of like that Gilroy fella at BU? Seems to me he walked on to that team, too and eventually got himself a scholie...

Just think Hoky, if you had spent $20 less on that Warsofsky jersey, you could have donated it to the Flynn Fund and had a BC Athletics Annual Report sent to your van and read all about Ben Smith being a walk-on for yourself rather than looking like a complete donkey.

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

"From the little that I heard about Smith in regards to UNH, they had only a slim shot at his services anyways - he has always been linked to the Ivys and BC (he wears his collar up I am told). It may have been a futile attempt for UNH to try and land him to begin with."

"Watcher, other than Yandle, I would argue that Smith and Price are more highly regarded than any UNH recruit for 2005 or 2006"

To say Smith was a walk on and had no other options is laughable

If it is so available, just show it to us.

He was not a walk on but a recruited, highly regarded one at that, scholarship athlete. we are not talking about Gilroy, we are talking about Ben Smith. One came in under the radar as a 21/22 year old freshmen and the other came in as a blue chip 18 year old recruit who had been known as one of the top players in the country at his age.

Centered their top line as a 19 year old on a natl championship team.

I don't know why you keep talking about "options" like I give two craps about it.

At the end of the day, he came to BC as a recruited "walk-on" according to BC. Thanks for playing.

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

your mother was happy about the extra 20 Nick, at least be happy for that

I just checked with her and she said she's never been in someone's candyvan... sorry to inform you. You must have confused her with someone else (maybe some hockeymom you were using to get to their 15 year old boy?). Considering the amount of people you've probably lured into your candyvan, I wouldn't be surprised if you can't remember who has been in there and who has not.

your partner in crime did.. not every post is for your cross eyes only(generations of inbreading will do that)

And yet your post at 3:23 pm quoted my post and started asking me about "options"...

I just noticed you finally figured out how to use the quote function. Good for you.

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

but please, he was in a total other class than Alber was as a recruit. A great pick up and a life saver but to put him and Ben Smith in the same catagory as recruits is laughable.

Unless I missed something, I haven't seen anyone compare Smith and Alber as players.

Smith centered their top line as a sophmore when they won the natl championship.

This has zero (as you like to say) to do with what type of scholarship he received. Stick to the relevant information.

AKA as a 2/4, which is very common at the BU's and BC's of the world.

Umm AKA takes care of the "as" part...

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

Also, there isn't a single post from anybody saying Smith didn't have options. The closest thing I found was:

"Incentive to stay? Where the hell was he going???"--Slasher

I took this to mean Smith not having pro options after his sophomore year rather than not having other collegiate options when he was being recruited.

Re: Hockey East 2010-2011: The Quickening

What an amazing story
Kid had over a dozen schools after him up to and including Harvard, UNH, Yale and others. Was one of the top players at his age in the country, on draft lists etc but he simply walks on to prove BC wrong
Plays almost every game as a freshman and only after centering the first line on their natl championship team did they offer him any cash
He gets drafted and so on
We heard 1000 times on tv and in paper about Gilroy being a walk on but not one word about Smith as one either years they won it
This is a borderline Rudy story

If there was a feel good story it would have been written


Scholarship athlete

Periodn

HockeyDud is usually an idiot, but he is right on this matter. Smith was a recruited walk-on in the sense that he did not sign a NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT. You can only sign a NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT if you are receiving athletic aid in your FRESHMAN/FIRST Year.

Smith was not a walk-on, as in the coaches told him he would have the chance to try-out, but they weren't guaranteeing him anything, like Gilroy at BU.
