UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond
Yes, Foster's replacement is the biggest concern, yes, it would be unusual for Digi to be the starter without having played much yet, and yes, I think he'll be the starter. Time to cross the fingers come October. I think. Really, I do.

Looks like Grayson Downing is back 100% from the concussion earlier this year.. Had a 2 goal game a week or so back.. and now puts up 3 in their most recent come from behind win!!
C. Sissons is also doing very well for kid who just recently turned 16.

Downing continues to light it up in the BCHL playoffs along with Lellegia. Looks like Reid and Downing might now be on the same lines, actually. Ouch.

UNH has had the luxury of having outstanding goalies , hopefully the end of the line is still long ways off .

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond
There's been some discussion on this thread about whether there will be a suitable and comparable replacement for Brian Foster next season. Out of curiosity, I checked out the website of Matt DiGirolamo's former USHL team, the Waterloo Black Hawks, to find out more about his history. I found some very interesting statistics. It turns out that DiGirolamo compares favorably with two former Waterloo goalies whom you will recognize. Here's what the "Most Wins in a Season" table shows:
#1 Kevin Regan 2003 28 Wins 2.37 GAA .915 SV%
#2 Matt DiGirolamo 2007 25 Wins 2.41 GAA .900 SV%
#4 Matt DiGirolamo 2006 22 Wins 2.54 GAA .905 SV%
#6 Parker Milner 2008 20 Wins 2.90 GAA .902 SV%
In other words, DiGi's career in Juniors' Hockey was comparable to one of UNH's best goalies ever and to one of the current BC goalies (who saw quite a bit of rubber in the third period last Friday night). Maybe DiGi has more potential than we have seen since he arrived in Durham.

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond
I've said this before, but DiGi will be fine.
He had two bad games last year, during which, team defense was at an extreme low. He faced so many poorly defended 2-1's and made a few key saves at other points, but no one was there to sweep up the rebounds. His confidence obviously isn't as high as it should be, and I think with a few starts next year, he'll get it back.
As for recruiting in general, it's been a little while since we have picked someone up. Anyone know of any kids we are talking with?
I still want David Killip, next year, to replace Reid. I can't think of many players who are uncommitted for next year, who are better.

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond
Nice, info on Digi………Next year we lose 1 D and 2 forwards and 1goalie, assuming no defections ( which I do not anticipate). I believe the pipeline looks like this:
Forwards:
Grayson Downing
Nick Sorkin
Jeff Silengo
Defense:
Justin Agosta
Joey Laleggia
Eric Knobel
Goalie:
Cody Campbell
I think they would bring all the forwards, even though Silengo could probably benefit from another year in the “U”. He is 20 at this point so they most likely bring him. Defense will be full with 3 players coming in……..do they push one to the following year?. Agosta left the “U” to go the EJ, not sure what that means. Knobel will be 20 so I assume he comes. Laleggia is young, ‘92 . Does he need another year?.....if they push him do they lose him?

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond
BC just committed a player (Austin Cangelosi of Northfield Mt Hermon) for the fall of 2013. He's just the second player to commit to a school for 2013, the first of which is going to Miami. At this point (and I know it's early and players are bound to de-commit and whatnot) UNH has only one player committed for 2012 in Casey Thrush. I found that interesting.

Re: UNH commitments/recruits for 2010 and beyond
Not only that BC has an uncanny knack for getting kids to commit when they are about 15 1/2 yrs old.. currently they now have 3 incoming '94's that commited on or about their 15 1/2 b/d's. That leads the country. Also. the 2012 commit for UNH is a '92. UNH only has 1 '93 at this point -
'94 commit's
BC -3
Notra Dame 2
Wisco - 2
Michigan - 1
UVM 1
Denver -1
Miami -1

What worry is there of Laleggia bolting if he is pushed back, any?

He goes Major Junior to keep progressing.
All depends on what he and his family (+adviser) want.
