In response to TheLine
The objective results of what, though? Ranking of recruiting classes? We’ve upped our level of play significantly in the Donahue years. Who wins in the world of ranking recruiting classes is interesting, and at this stage we do it well enough for it to correlate some to performance. But compared to Princeton, for example, I find it hard to be certain we are being outrecruited when the teams are so close overall.
I get the Brodeur point, and in many ways I agree — I actually think we underestimate just how good he was. We got markedly better immediately upon his arrival. But we can’t ignore the best players when evaluating the recruiting. They are part of the overall picture, too.
Finally, and apologies if we are going around the same circle, I’m just not sure why we need to beat ourselves up over this. We can compete with Harvard while getting outrecruited. And the more we compete with them, the more we can turn the tide on the recruiting.
