Btw, the advert for the asst. coach is out.

Interesting. I would have thought they'd just rubber-stamp whoever Morris wants. But maybe whoever he wants isn't interested. Or maybe the university requires all openings to be posted publicly.

Or to go past a 13 member rubber stamp committee!

Flanagan took the Cornell asst. position (vice Scott).

Yeah, why would SLU want to hire an alum anyway. That's a sentimental notion of a bygone era. With this AD and President, they'll probably be recruiting on the round table.

What is cause for a little bit of concern is Conger played with him for a year and Will Harrison another teammate is another commit. Hope there were no deals down among teammates to play together.

We've been told that I think everyone left is committed so SLU would have to let someone else out....or the player would have to sit another year.

Not sure what you mean -- are you saying that everyone else in this fall's freshman class signed NLIs? If so, do you have information on Will Harrison, Dylan Woolf, and Ryan Garvey? Those are the remaining guys for whom I didn't find any evidence that they had signed. In Ryan Garvey's case, though, I would assume that he wouldn't fly the coop anyway, given that he announced his commitment a day or two after Carvy resigned.

Piece by piece what could have been one of the top recruiting classes in SLU history is slowly falling apart. My prayer now is that we can hang onto forwards. We are well set at Defense for next year but once this crop of seniors departs we will need more "D". We will arguably have one of the best "D" corps in the country this coming season.
However......we can't afford to lose any more forwards or next year we are going to be entertaining walk ons for depth.

I think I understand a bit more now about the technicalities of these players who have signed letters of intent who are leaving. We are clearly "releasing" them and not holding them to their letters. I suppose we are "kind" to do this and although it is a slightly different circumstance other universities have not been so kind. (See Don Lucia and Horn as an example.)

Wischow and Slaker are huge losses. Assuming Kyle Hayton stays and finishes out we are set for a starter but sources told us that Wischow was good enough to even push Kyle for playing time.

I understand the deal about the coach leaving and players following him......but, depending on the player.....the experience at SLU is and will be so much more personal and special than playing at a hockey factory school (and by the by UMass is anything but a hockey factory. They are a large institution but their success over the course of the history has been very limited.) Few schools can offer what SLU can in terms of education, experience, being part of a family and being a Laurentian for Life. I hope most or all of the rest of these recruits realize (even with Carvel gone) how great a place SLU really is.
