Prospect Info: CHL, NCAA and European 2018-19 Prospects Thread II

FWIW I went to high school with a player on the team now. Wouldn’t exactly call him a genius, and that’s putting it nicely.

Two of my kids played club with Ivy recruits. One had to go the postgrad route and is currently doing well in his sport at his Ivy League school and one is a current recruit who has been asked to get a certain ACT. There are numerous factors at play but the standards expected of the recruit can vary dramatically based on those factors.

I won’t derail the thread but the recent bribery scandal should provide some idea of how much of a joke competitive college admissions have become.

Yeah I've know a few people that have gone to one of those big famous schools up there.. Most of them could barely pass high school but had the athletic skill that they wanted... No way could they have passed college.. But you know how that goes for sports athletes

 

[tailfins]

I think My3Sons is correct that the issue is nuanced.

Generally these schools are looking for diversity of many types - including athletic excellence. How much they are willing to bend on academic standards because of the athletic excellence depends on many factors. There’s been a lot written about how Tommy Amaker has changed Harvard’s basketball team, for instance.

I wouldn't call Jared Kushner a genius, and I doubt he can even skate backwards.

69 points (nice) in 57 games for Ty Smith to end the season. 7/62.

That is a 1.21 PPG, which is good enough for 2nd in the entire CHL for defensemen.

I’m sure he has his fingers crossed Walsh doesn’t turn pro.

New Jersey Devils are counting on Fabian Zetterlund next season.

I’m sure he has his fingers crossed Walsh doesn’t turn pro.

Perhaps, though it sounds like Walsh struggled a bit earlier in the year and he's probably correct in saying that he could use another year of development, especially if Fox leaves and Walsh can take over as the #1 d-man on that team.

I just want to see Davies signed this offseason, but Walsh staying for a 3rd season at Harvard is probably best for his development.

Kind of a lost season for him due to injuries, but good to hear that he's coming over to North America next season. Should help Bing and maybe he gets some NHL games as early as next season depending on how things go.

I’d offer WALSH an ELC this offseason just To show the interest. My guess is he returns to school regardless.

 

[Call Me Al]

perfectly ok letting him develop in the ncaa for one more season and only one more season

That may play into it, but you don't say that sort of thing about your own player unless it is true.
