Re: UNH Recruits: 2012-2016

Re: UNH Recruits: 2012-2016

It seems likely the UNH coaches are trying to plan for the possibility that Brett Pesce joins the Carolina Hurricanes organization after his junior season and that Shane Eiserman and Warren Foegele, who are likely to be drafted in the NHL Draft next month, will turn pro before their senior year. Unlike a very small number of Division I teams, UNH does not have the luxury of waiting around until the very last minute to replace a top player who leaves early with a top recruit who decommits from another program late in the game.

What would stop them from doing exactly this? Are you referring to the admissions saga that has been brought up here so many times with regards to the Gaudreau brothers? Some seriously game-breaking defensemen (Fortunato and Plant to name two) became available this spring (as happens every year) and it is very short-sighted poor asset management to not leave a slot open to go after these kids.

But what kind of asset management is it if you don't land the whale and you're left sitting there with money and no player? That's a high risk game to play. :eek:

And then there were nine. If you play D and are not named Pesce, you better scramble.

Hopefully, Pesce will also be busting hump all summer. ;)

There's no way Coach Umile doesn't start the season with Maller and Cleland, in addition to Pesce.

The rest is absolutely positively 100% up for grabs.

Agreed. But as the season progresses ...

If all of the freshmen can play, Maller and Cleland may feel some heat. And that's not a bad thing, lest they become (to borrow your term) complacent. :)

2014 UNH players Shane Eiserman and Warren Foegele have been invited to the NHL Combine to be held May 26-31 in Toronto.

Re: UNH Recruits: 2012-2016

At least one of the talented recruits who withdrew their verbal commitment to Harvard was subsequently recruited by UNH. That player strongly considered coming to UNH but ultimately chose a different program.

The point I was making in the earlier post is that UNH can't count on picking up this kind of high end recruit after they have "de-committed" from another program late in the recruiting year. If past performance is any indicator, UNH will continue to pursue these opportunities when they come up in the future. However, these type of late "decommits" are more likely to end up choosing BU, BC, Notre Dame, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota or Denver.

Last week, incoming UNH freshmen Shane Eiserman and Warren Foegele participated in the 2014 NHL Combine held in Toronto. 119 draft prospects were invited.

Shane Eiserman finished 2nd in the bench press test.

Warren Foegele finished 5th in standing long jump and 9th in the vertex vertical jump.

I guess that means that on the rush he doesn't need to stop in front of the net. He can simply jump over it to beat the D to the puck:D
