      Not that Vermont, Providence and Lowell may have better freshmen goaltenders that BU
      We typically carry 3 goalies and Moccia is a senior next (???) year.

      How highly recruited was Starrett? Is he expected to be he 3rd goalie or legitimately compete for a starting spot? (Obviously anything can happen once he is here.)

        Starrett was #35 among N.American goalies in Central Scouting's midterms, one of just a few non-Major Junior goalies ranked. East Coach Militia says he's a 2013 recruit, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't play a year of junior. OverTheBoards.net reports that Starrett has posted a 24-12-4 record in 2047 minutes played, a 1.90 GAA and a .915 save percentage for the Select Hockey Academy U18s.

        brassbonanza: BU-NU has been on the CBSSN schedule since October.

          We have never purposely had 3 scholarship goalies at once (Curry's senior year BU gave him one in addition to keeping the 2 recruited G's on schollie) so I think that may answer your question, if indeed he is coming next year. That said he appears to worlds ahead of Kraus and Moccia so I'd expect he'd get a spot start or two at minimum.

            Double posting but now my theory is he comes for 2014-15 and is a 2+2 guy who will get BU off the 2 frosh goalies at a time cycle they are currently on.

              East Coast Militia's Facebook page now says 2014-2015.

                This makes sense.

                Is this ranking "per age year" or "overall"?

                If they are "per year" then 35th does not sound as exciting.

                  they only rank for draft year this year.

                    On the goalie talk - there are several very good freshmen goaltenders in Hockey East, and BU has two of them.
                    O'Connor got off to a great start, and tailed off. He leaves too many rebounds, but overall he has had a solid freshman year. Maguire got off to a slow start, but he is a very good goalie, too.
                    Goal is not a problem at BU.

                    As for the Lowell talk - they are a solid, efficient team. But they are also incredibly boring to watch. Boring with a Capital 'B'. But their fans are leaving games happy because they leaving with 'W's', even if they put their fans, and opposition, to sleep over 60 minutes.

                      They seem to just rank the Top 35 Goalies, and what we are looking at right now is the midseason rankings. Maguire was 28th on the 2012 final rankings after being left off the midseason ones, and in 2011 O'Connor finished 25th after a midseason 24th. Despite that Maguire was drafted and O'Connor was not.

                      Based on just that and no inside information whatsoever if this kid is actually a 2+2 that is a huge get, if we are instead going to be giving 3 of our 18 scholarships to goalies in 14/15 and 15/16 I will be less thrilled.

                        OK so if he is "ranked" in a similar manner to Maguire and OC, then he sounds like a good sign.... Especially if he is coming in as a 2+2 guide.

                          More than any other position, goalies are a crapshoot.You'll recall a pair of scholarship goalies, Gillespie and Siewic, lost the job to recruited walk-on John Curry, who managed to become a two-time All-American and HE Player of the Year. For the 2006 recruit class, Quinn reportedly had his choice of Brett Bennett and Joe Palmer, the two NTDP goalies. Neither had particularly good college careers. We'll see.

                          • O'Connor confirmed out for season. Hole in his lung didn't heal on its own so he had surgery today. Long term prognosis is good though.
                            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
