I knew Antonelli left to greive over the death of his brother, but I thought he Maine was planning on having him back??
I understand this. I was wondering whether it was the Coach's decision, or the kid.
Keep up your info,no matter how it works out...all or most of the crew do care if Maine wins...more like we want out old Team back...that means winning/tough to play against and always mentioned as a Team with a chance to win it all...
So what is Tim supposed to do? Should he say this kid is likely to go major junior, so I won't talk to him? Exactly how is he supposed to know the kid's intent? And if the kid does go major junior, what has Tim (and UMaine) lost, except a few hours of recruiting time?
Recruiting has changed big time in the last 5/6 years...you never are sure...so you end up having to have more options in recruiting sometimes too many players in a given year that you have to offend some by holding them back a year here and there...sometimes it looks like both sides are guilty of using each other....but the CMJr has made it alot harder,especially when alot of these players are looking towards bigger goals(NHL/$$$$$)...and Education is not always their main option....thats where top notch recruiting assistants can make or break a team on any given year of recruiting...imo Maine's recruiting trail has picked up some(not alot)but it still has a long way to go to compete with other bigger named schools...comes down to winning/exposure on TV/Post Season...you win and players get drafted and you'll see a interest in Maine again(all imo).
I don't have those answers, not sure what he can do.
