Maybe they fear the Curse of the Lake Whitt Jumbotron? Just grasping at straws here.

New recruit. Ryan Verrier, '98 LD at Austin Prep. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=229863

Found some material: SB Nation had this in December: http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/hig...on-central-catholic-ryan-verrier-devon-tongue

OTB had this in May: We’ve written about him a few times in the past and now entering his Junior season: it’s time to step into more of a leadership role. In last year’s Super 8 he showed added strength, good decision-making and poise. His skating game is still his greatest asset but he has improved since we first saw him the year before. Looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for him as an upperclassman.

Really? So, arriving in 2018, year after MacAdams? Born in Reading, like Saviano and Sean Collins.

Sweet! Welcome to the 'Cats Ryan....
 
Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2016 and Beyond

Good to see some movement on the recruiting front. Preliminary reports do not make it sound like he is going to be a superstar but I like to hold back on my judgement of any prospect until he hits the ice wearing blue and white. So hopefully Ryan fits in and makes a name for himself when he shows up. Also, lets hope some other pieces begin falling into place in the near future.

It is nice to see...FWIW dept I do believe that some said a a guy named TvR would be lucky to play D3 hockey so there's that! And you know me...we need D! EDIT: read up on the kid today; seems like a potentially good 2 way D man..gets good props for his high school (Austin Prep where Eric McAdams played) exploits... Hockey is almost here...

He will be a project from what I have seen of him locally. Others from the Reading pipeline include Mike Sullivan, Mark Doherty, Mike Golden, Jeff Wyer, Mike Thomson, Steve Smith. Arguably on average the best public HS team in Mass over a period of 20 years
 
Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2016 and Beyond

Teams at the top recruit blue chippers and finished articles.

Teams at the bottom scramble for the leftovers and projects.

I'll let the rest of you conclude where UNH Hockey currently stands.
 
Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2016 and Beyond

Souza does seem to have an eye for things other Division I recruiters have missed. I'm guessing very little money promised, more of a solid for Sean Collins, who Souza probably hopes is developing some connections due to his work for the new scouting site.

Does he? Or are we simply left having to hope this is the case? What happened to all the recruits the pro-Souza crowd promised - ones who were supposed to make Jordan Sandhu look like a nobody...

They are on their way, just around the corner

Mike Souza is a great recruiter as he essentially beat UNH out for 4 of the best players on the UConn team. I know some will give all the credit to Cavanaugh but they were not his recruits. They started beating us out for the top players that BC/BU/now Prov did not pursue wholeheartedly and Northeastern has beaten us out for some top players (one who left to go to an inferior league and two brothers that have been critical to their success). As Watcher knows, many of their recruits will be coming free as BU, BC, Providence and Northeastern have over-recruited at levels we have not seen in a long while. BC can handle it due to so many stars leaving for the pros but I think the others are going to cull the rosters and we might be able to take a few like Vecchione and LaLeggia when we deferred them. There are some CA stars, Western Canada stars, one or two Ontario stars and as always a good number of blue states on 95 kids that might be the next Bobby Butler.

recruiting is starting to be more focused! Word has it Souza and Stewie had the top 2000 recruit on campus recently, just MVP of Midget Minor Silver Stick in Ontario!
