Mike, I just wanted you to know -- I appreciate your dedication to this effort. I can't imagine how much time it takes to track the progress of distant recruits, attend games of those who are closer (all the while attending and reporting on UNH games home and away,) refresh your web page and contribute to the blog, etc. etc. I also truly like the journalistic approach you take to your endeavor by staying above the fray and keeping it fair and balanced, in my opinion. Thanks for what you do."UNH Recruits Update: Feb-18-2013" - Player of the Week is Liam Darcy.
Thanks goblue. Early retirement allowed me to take it up as a hobby. I'm very lucky.
I really enjoy reading the posts here so I decided to finally get an account. What is everyone's take on the age of the goalies coming to UNH? Both Adam Clark and Danny Tirone will be over 21 when they come to UNH. Also Jamie Regan was 20.5 when he arrived in Durham. Should we be concerned about the fact that none of the three of them were able to make it on to a D1 team before they were over 20.5? I'm worried that we wont have the top tier goalie we need to get a national championship with goalies that have been past on for 2-3 years before finally being recruited.
If we had the goalie of the future with either of the two that aren't on campus I thought we would have to get him on campus sooner even to just back up Desmith to stop other teams from stealing our recruit with the possibility of being on their campus a year earlier. Desmith will be a Junior for fall of 2013 and I've always been more comfortable with the new starter being a junior like in years past (Digirolamo, Foster, etc) Are my worries valid?
