Was Carvy taking a subtle shot at Ryan Leonard with that comment?

RL committed to UM very early and cited the Beanpot as a reason for going to BC…..he didn’t mention winning the Beanpot, which is good because he didn’t and he didn’t mention where Northeastern ( Beanpot winner RL Freshman year ) sat in his options.

Carvel has been saying similar things about recruiting out of state vs in state kids for almost his entire duration at UMass. I don’t think anyone should take that as a shot at any one person in particular, as opposed to the current reality of recruiting for NCAA college hockey.

With a bye weekend upcoming; hope the wife isn’t making plans…..and nothing else on the agenda for today..lol…I looked over the roster and noticed that the only scheduled losses for next year are defenseman…..MH is a probable, by with two goalies in the pipeline who are NHL draft picks ( had a third but he has decommited) and I still have a difficult time filtering out when the commitments are actually coming ( ‘26-‘27) (‘27-‘28) (‘28-‘29) (‘36-‘37) is there any idea who will be arriving next year and getting right in the rotation as defenseman? Probably be two at least…

A great chart on the UMass roster and recruits. Click on the picture to enlarge it. Of course, other than the seniors, we don't know who else might be leaving and that will determine which guys come in next year. Besides these commits, the portal is in play.

Carvel was one of the speakers at the Sports Luncheon and I love hearing him talk. He pulls no punches. I asked him if Musa's brother was coming next year and he said he didn't know. I said something like "too bad" and he said that there will only be one Musa on the team next year. Apparently, Jack thinks his younger brother is an arrogant pain in the ass and won't play with him. I think Carvel feels the same way, but you need 1 of these on your team.

Question: Is the younger Musa better that Jack? If so, then suck it up ……lol
