UML Recruiting, 2017+

So we may be transfer heavy in the future, or hoping some coach being let go (in HEA alone we have Amherst for sure, with Maine and UVM also in weird spots. Also UConn if/when Cav leaves) opens up a few recruits.

Can't say I like that vision of the future, but this is the first recruiting battle in a while where Lowell has publicly been in play (not sure if that's a good thing or not) so it's difficult to judge if we're losing battles or just not playing the game.

At least we're winning on the ice

I've accepted the fact that I'm going to be disappointed in Lowell recruiting, much like the Patriots on draft day. As long as they continue to win, it's something I can live with. If that were to change, then I think the tide would turn quickly for a lot of fans in that respect.

I just find it hard to believe that Lowell's success over the past five years hasn't translated into any noticeable improvement in recruiting. Other teams have seen that bump, which leads me to two possible conclusions; either Lowell has just written off trying to compete for any elite talent, or the recruiting staff/methods aren't good enough to land said recruits. I honestly don't know which of those two options bothers me more.

Recruit Mattias Goransson and Tri-City are the USHL champions. The Storm defeated Dubuque 4-1 tonight sweeping the series 3-0. Mattias had an assist in the game.

UMass starting to pick up recruiting under their new coach...

@JeffCoxSports
New UMass coach Greg Carvel has now locked up 4 commits. Fargo Force G Ryan Wischow most important yet. Big upgrade between the pipes.

I wonder what recruits and current player's are moving on? It will be interesting to see if Makar and Leonard make it to Amherst in 2017.

This is crazy. Either UML has very specific requirements for the type of player that fits their system or all these Amherst recruits are being duped and end up at the wrong UMass, thinking they're actually going to the good hockey program.

I wouldn't think too much of this. New coach, trying to bring in players for his program. I doubt any of these players are on the really high caliber (nothing against them).
