With addition of Parker, my count has 10 recruits coming in this fall....plus 17 returning roster players from last year. Just wondering if my count is correct.? Recruits: 3 d-men; Bisson, Greenway, Kleiboer… 6 Forwards; Roy, Poisson, Breen, Drobort, Bruneski, Parker.. 1 Goaltender; Thiessen.

Have you seen him play? Can he move his feet. Or is he another big guy Red loves so much

Unclear whether Bruneski was recruited as a dman or F, but his most current position was at D:

Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting

Parker is 21, has played 2 yrs in NCDC. Hock DB has him at 6'2" and 160. Hopefully he gains some mass if this is current.

Be interesting to see what Red has recruited for the season.

From what I read he is more on the slender side and fast. He increased his point total significantly last year which I always see as a good sign.

Well that sounds like the recruit additions is at a 11 incoming and my count of returning roster players is at 18....which totals out as a 29 player roster to date....seems like there maybe possible returning roster player cuts....????….I am just throwing that out with no knowledge that this would happen, "BUT" 29 players seems a bit much imo, usually at 26-27..? Any thoughts out there..?

26, 27 or 30, they are still going to struggle with Red as coach

The more bodies the merrier I suppose. Cant hurt for sure if some players step up to get out of the pack. Might make better practices.
It could cause confusion if lines are changed alot, early on is good but 2nd half of season you want some consistent lines so they work good together.
We need a fire down in orono, dont see it. I suppose Red is getting some good naps in this time of year.

I'd go for more talent....not fill the shelve with as much bodies and with LESS talent. 10-4 on the nap time...:cool:

Yeah, this thread is essentially about warm bodies. Maine hasn't recruited any genuine talent since Red has been here. I'm predicting a PW of about 37 next year.
 
Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting

I have (finally) updated the UMaine recruit page and roster projection.

Link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...7PTYrs0p6MIzdujVgCh1uwnqY/edit#gid=1737200132

Link also in the signature of all of my posts, which i realize isn't often these day (**** paying job!). Anyway, as always Red keeps his roster management in shroud of mystery. Likely to be a little more roster juggling before August. Surprised to see scholarship money going to Winfree kid. Would have been nice to see that money go Needham's way and bring him in a year early....:eek:
