UML Recruiting Thread, 2014 and beyond

Re: UML Recruiting Thread, 2014 and beyond

You would think BC would have enough confidence in their 'wonderfulness' not to have to poach off of other teams. Can't say any of the ones who are not going to continue the gentelemens' agreement surprise me.

At this point, all I can think is that they have faith in Dalton Carter and maybe one of the forwards that's coming in, they're planning on switching to D?

That's the only thing I can think of with having only 7 d-men (including Carter) on the roster.

USHL Player and Defender of the Year, Brandon Montour, will be at UMass this fall. He's expected to be picked in the draft as well.

If that ends up being the end-game this is going to be a looooooooooooong season. I have to believe they're going to bring someone else in. One injury on the blue line and that's the ball game.

I sense concern from the western michigan fans... Not sure why, but concern it is

Are we ever going to figure out who signed a NLI? Or do we have to wait for the final roster to come out?

At this point i would have to think this is a Dana Skinner thing. You'd think that the program would take the opportunity to promote itself. Maybe they worry a player might not make it to campus or some other issue?

I know in general, in the past, I was told that they wanted to make sure they had everything checked off to make sure the kid would actually show up and be allowed to play... before they put the list together.
 
Re: UML Recruiting Thread, 2014 and beyond

Jeff Cox ‏@JeffCoxSBNation 2m
Austin Bruins (NAHL) forward Lucas Kohls has committed to UMass Lowell. '93 from Forest Lake, Minn. is big grinder, fits well in UML system.
