There's no body in this years freshman class thats close. For Red's sake I hope there's 3 coming next year, but hes still got a hell of a ways to go before hes out recruiting the previous regime, never mind if you start including guys from before Grant left.

Originally posted by Drew S. View PostI've been more positive than most on here but its tough after last night. It's really frustrating they have not won from so many winning positions this year. There are going to be times it happens but it shouldn't be more than once or twice a season. To be 2-0 up with them on the ropes and completely give it away is crazy. I can understand taking a penalty to prevent them from getting a good scoring chance but never in a million years should two guys on the fourth line take penalties on the same play when the puck is up the other end of the ice.
I honestly do think Red & co have done a much better job recruiting than the prior regime. The best recruits haven't shown up yet and people are selling this year's freshmen way short. With all that being said, the in game coaching just hasn't been good enough. This isn't a great Maine team but with the talent they have and the schedule they have faced no way they should be under .500. The only games where they didn't have much chance in were BU and Providence and there was basically seven free wins.
I'm not sure on the way forward. I think the best thing to do would be to give Ben a year and see what happens. If they decide to go in a completely different direction be prepared to be underwhelmed.UMaine Black Bears Recruit Info Site GO BLUE!!

Originally posted by walrus View PostI think Robbins is close to mangene, not as tough probably but he is starting to score. Mangene wasn't great until his jr year. Pearson looks good, fossier looked good, holway, michel are ok. This years class certainly better than the last couple which are pretty much throwaway with a few exceptions. I'm more concerned with the lack of discipline than I am the level of talent at this pointUMaine Black Bears Recruit Info Site GO BLUE!!

I was among the last to jump off Timmy's ship, but I bailed on Red pretty early.
I see no reason to reverse course now, but I hope like Hell that Maine finds a way to defy all logic and make next season the first interesting one since Red arrived.
