Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2017 and Beyond
Since I'm most familiar with Coach Souza since he came to UNH (late summer 2015), I will comment on that time frame. Also, it's important to remind everyone that Coach Stewart has also been very active on the recruiting trail and deserves credit for accomplishments in that arena.
I think Coach Souza has had two primary accomplishments in recruiting at UNH so far. First, the play of Wyse and commitments of Gildon, Maass, and Miller should address the obvious weaknesses in the defensive end. Second, a few players with high-end potential (Commesso, Gildon, and Maass) have embraced Coach Souza's recruiting "pitch", which he articulated in my interview with him last summer (http://unhhockeyblog.blogspot.com/20...ead-coach.html) - that is, pride in the historical accomplishments of the program and being driven to return to the national stage and win a National Championship. All three have articulated their buy-in to these goals in various articles and interviews.
