Originally posted by KrbFlint View PostNext time we run into each other, let’s chat about this*. I have some insight...
Worth noting, Erickson and Burchill are AFA transfers. Erickson is a civvie at Norwich, while Burchill is in the Corps. Erickson (I’m told) didn’t want to do “Rookdom” at NU, having already done the equivalent at AF. Burchill opted to go through Rookdom again (essentially).
*the recruiting model
I know it's not as simple as it sounds, especially with money involved (academies being free rides to some of the top schools in the country, the other SMCs all being state schools). But I'm certainly interested in hearing your insight.Norwich '13

Re: Norwich 2017-18 Season Thread: Defending the Crown
Sad to see Mcshane go but we were blessed to have him for so many years. Tough to really guess who is coming in next...Dawes was my first thought as well but Stevenson is an up and coming program that I just can't see him leaving...that being said, who really knows.
Whatever the case the new Coach and team will be thrown on the hot seat early: Endicott, Skidmore, Hobart, Umass-Boston, Babson, Adrian, Middlebury/Plattsburgh to start the year......ouch.
Confident they will find the right guy though and very glad to hear McShane is sticking around to aid in that search/transition.
