Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Any UPDATE's on Justin Rai? Heard Rai had a concussion during the season and was shut down.

Has he signed a Letter of Intent? If not......we might never see him in Orono. Maine hasn't had very good luck with players that have concussion issues. I was thinking that the commitment of Gibson might be a replacement for Rai.

Larry mentioned him in his article a week ago as being an impact recruit so I would assume the plan is for him to give it a shot. Hopefully it works out but I'm not overly optimistic.

Same here. He hasn't played since November. That would be almost a year out of hockey.

Athletic scholarships are for 1 year only. LOI are binding for the student only. Schools can pull scholarships at any time for any reason. Most schools would honor a player's scholarship if he was injured in team related activities or games, but for a concussion in Canadian Jr A, Maine wouldn't be on the hook for anything.

Pat Shea had his 2nd hat trick of the season as KU won the Lakes Region Tournament for the 2nd straight year. Kimball Union advanced to the Elite 8 New England Prep School Championship and as a #8 seed defeated #1 seed Exeter. KU is now in the semi-final against Salisbury.

IIRC the KUA tender is from Houlton....

Any chance Maine would like at Brian Billett for next year? He hasn't played in any games for BC this year so I'm assuming he would still have a year of eligibility left.

I think generally the etiquette is to offer the kid equivalent academic money and save the athletic scholarship for someone else.

From the NCAA website "The NLI is a binding agreement between an NCAA school and a student-athlete in which the student-athlete agrees to attend the school for one year and the school agrees to provide financial aid to the student-athlete"

I think there are some changes with the new Power 5 rules as well.
 
Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Continue to be confused as to who is coming next year. Larry mentions Muehlbaer and Cochrane coming next year along with Becker and Michel. However Heisenberg has both Muehlbauer and Cochrane coming in 2016 and has Cam Spicer in red meaning he has signed his NLI for next year. Would think Larry would know better. We officially have lost 2 d-men and Norman is a ? off a team that only played 7 d-men last year. I expect 3 incoming but now Larry has 4, not including Spicer????

Anyone in the know have some insight on this? Expect maybe a player or two not to return but was thinking it would be forwards. Only ? I had on D not returning was Norman, but he at least has proved to be versatile 7th d-man.
