Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting
The Neutral Zone rating for Nick Capone - the recruit Maine just lost to UConn - is 4.25 out of 5 Stars. That's the same rating as USNTDP players like Marshall Warren and Drew Helleson who are both incoming freshmen at Boston College. Perhaps the NZ rating of Nick Capone in particular, and most other prospects in general, are more accurate than "useless".
The NZ ratings are useful for making general comparisons between prospects. It’s their detailed scouting reports which provide guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of a player.

Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting
What was the reason for Capone to leave Maine and go over to UConn..? (was it he wanted to play sooner rather then later)
Have read UConn didn’t move Capone up to 2019-20 season - still a 2020-21 commit. The UConn blog wrote “Nick Capone is the first elite player from Connecticut to commit to UConn.” He’s from East Haven, CT.

His stats dont jump off the page at me, though this very well could be a case of stats not telling the whole story, hence why he seems to be considered an elite recruit. The bigger problem to me is this is yet another symptom of what seems to be an epidemic of recruits jumping ship on Orono before they even get here.

Or, possibly, to have an outside shot at the NCAA's..?

Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting
Not to blank on UConn, but when you think of it that way...my has the hockey gone wayward at Maine. (that is chances of making the NCAA's)
Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting
He is with Tri-City in the USHL, one goal in ten games.

Also, defenseman Timmy Lovell decomitted from OSU. Mass kid. Even though he has offers from 3/4 Beanpot schools, and that means you probably won't land him, I feel like you should at least call him and get your name out there.

My guess would be that Renwick and Morrissey are injured. Maybe Farrell didn’t like his new team or needed to come home? I know the mjahl isn’t as strong but he’s putting up good numbers.
Seems like a good one, has 20 goals in 25 games so far. I would imagine he gets a year or two in USHL before coming to Orono.
I don’t think he will since he is a 99. He will play at UMaine next season.
