Honest question - which in the line of good recruits were Yorks first (I think this is relatively consecutive)?

Jamie O'Leary
Marty Reasoner
Jeff Farkas

Were all of them recruited after York took over?

O'Leary came in the same season Coach York took over (1994), so I would think he was a Coach Cedorchuk recruit. I've read that Reasoner was Coach York's first big recruit (1995) and Farkas came in the following year (1996).

Dear lord, you're actually trying to compare the BU program david quinn inherited to the dumpster fire York took on? Not to mention, quinn had eichel already recruited for him. Not dumping on quinn here but let's get real with that comparison.

jrrrry and nate replaced dudes that got themselves fired for having horrible on ice products.

norm replaced (what was it?) a dui'er? who had some piece in place.

GQ did replace a guy who just retired and was supposed to have players there, you are correct.

these are not comparable.

And what's up with the tears at the post-game presser? Does video of this exist somewhere?

Actually, Coach York took over two excellent programs at Clarkson and Bowling Green and in both instances his teams had several losing seasons when he first took over those programs. It is likely that the losing seasons he had after taking over those programs and BC had much more to do with his imposing his coaching style on players he did not recruit.

As for the BU program Coach Quinn took over, I've heard from more than a few people that he also inherited a dumpster fire.

it was the "program" that was lighting the fire. the terriors were (and ARE if you get down to it) one busted condom away from a self-imposed death penalty (still...)

Sean probably posted it more for reference than anything. The game was also vastly different 20 years ago. But the comparisons to Bazin and Leaman are very much on point.

Yes, I wanted to show that it usually takes a few seasons for a new head coach to imprint his style and systems on a program (Coaches Parker and Bazin excluded). However, I also think its a far comparison when you look at the level of talent BU had on the team and in the pipeline when Coach Quinn took over.

I wouldn't put o'leary with the other two but reasoner and farkas were York recruits. Thank God for his new york connections, where a bulk of core guys came from.

Well this is interesting. First i've ever heard this. Quite the commentary on Parker if true.

It was mentioned in the Boston Globe game story. No quotes from Coach Quinn in the USCHO game story (just the captain), which I found odd.

I was actually looking for quinn quotes myself. Not just him in particular but i like hearing what all coaches say.

I think the reference might be to some of the personnel that had been recruited by the previous staff that Quinn inherited. Very few of these players are currently still at BU (IIRC 2 are at Northeastern, 1 recently finished at UVM, 1 at UVM, 1 at Army, some Seniors from DQ's 1st season that weren't D-1 talent, 1 rising Senior who "quit" before DQ's 1st season). The lack of talent, depth plus injuries that year (Grzelcyk, Hohmann, E-Rod all missed significant time) doomed them in the 2nd half that season.

Lots of Quinn quotes in the CHN write up:

“It’s a sad day for me personally,” Quinn started ... but slowly trailed off as he fought back tears.

The room became quiet, and Grzelcyk patted his coach on the back, telling him it’s OK.

Grzelcyk then took questions from the media, reflecting on where this season went wrong.
