Re: Boston College Hockey '13-'14: Tournament Season - One Game At A Time!
I believe "like Milano" means a similar player/case in the future not literally Milano.
That said if this is a cut it sucks, but I don't believe it is. While it appears he is on a full scholarship and wasn't worth it last year I don't think BC is in a position to be cutting forwards at the moment, and he may well have been worth it this coming year.
As for BU, I dislike that they had cuts as well. It absolutely sucks for Collier that he showed up, worked hard, did nothing wrong and now has a year where he is ineligible. However, he was a Parker recruit who is a small grinding forward without much offensive ability that doesn't fit in the system Quinn is instituting. If Quinn makes a habit of cutting his own recruits just because they don't pan out and the NCAA transfer restricitions remain in place I will be p1ssed with my school and they will know about it (some team employees already do, actually), but I know few take as much of a hardline stance on that as I do.
ETA: "Going after Milano when you can and worrying about the rest down the line" is the exact attitude that causes an over offer of scholarships and forces cuts.
