Re: UNH 2018-19: Souza The Opportunity
Welcome back, 'Watcher. Agree and totally agree. Not that recruiting has ever been my UNH "sweet spot", but having three relatively young guys working the pipeline instead of just two, you have to think that bodes well for an uptick, which we seemed to be seeing right at the very end of last season, when Coach Umile's time was almost done.
But the guys are going to have to be able to point to some semblance of on-ice progress if the players they're likely targeting are going to give them any serious consideration. And I still think the failure of two-thirds of the current recruiting team to really start to generate the kind of recruiting buzz over the last three seasons in situ is something they're all going to wish they'd done a better job at, because it really could have cushioned the program during the current transition - something I have to believe BS35+6 expected would have been the whole point of adopting this approach to begin with*?
* - probably the most pro-BS35+6 comment you're ever likely going to read from me on this site, ever …
