Re: Boston University 2018-2019 - Still Alive!
Is the BU program in free fall mode
So far 3 goalies including Lackey from Harvard in the transfer portal have opted not to come to BU
Didn't Paul Pearl have a relationship with him?
Today Mark Divver is reporting BVR from UNH has chosen Northeastern over BU

In BVR's case, it's possible NU offered guaranteed scholarship $ and/or more $ than BU (if BU even offered any $)? Despite somewhat of a need, it might have come down to #/$ as to why BVR is NU-bound.
There's also the component getting admitted into a graduate program, not to mention incoming Freshmen getting thru admissions despite having solid GPAs and SAT/ACT scores. I've heard on multiple occasions thru reliable sources that BU Admissions has really put the clamps on student-athlete admissions. With hockey, it's been particularly so after Parker's retirement, as I've heard neither DQ nor Albie had/have the pull with Admissions that Coach Parker did.

Boston University defenseman Shane Switzer will be transferring to Michigan as a grad student so he’ll be eligible immediately. Should provide experience, size and mobility as two-way D for Wolverines.

With the goalies, despite an obvious need, one can't necessarily assume every goalie in NCAA transfer protocol is the right fit for BU, even if only for next season.

Also, McAvoy's goal was great but that boneheaded 3rd period penalty was a game-changer in a bad way. In the end I think having to defend the 1 goal lead at end of the game with the extra attacker on benefitted the Bruins for the rest of the series but still... totally unnecessary.Originally posted by Greg Ambrose on 3/7/2010The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

Seems like a good dude and a good teammate but honestly just so impressive what he has been able to do with the Bruins. He is constantly punching above his weight class... or he is just going to be underrated in perpetuity. Size aside, which isn't impeding him much from what I can tell, I can't find a knock on this kid at all.
