Ierlan to Yale...wow.
I guess that gets Yale on The Season 19 for sure.
LOL, hopefully they won't get the Season "Curse".
In all seriousness this makes them a top 3 team and you could make a case they are now the favorite. Tough spot for SU as i think it was clear he wanted to go to Cornell despite SU being mentioned. Have to see what happens with Staats now but that doesn't seem to be trending well either.
Conor Mackie is graduating. He went 290-464 for Yale last season.
So, if I can blue sky for a moment, assume TD didn't get in to Cornell. Otherwise, pretty hard not to want to play with your brother, right? And if he didn't get into Cornell, it's not a stretch to think he may not get into Yale. Therefore, SU is his safety school.
Right? RIGHT???
Wait, Irelan is going to Yale right? Why does the fact that he and Teat are in the same year matter anymore?
Love this line of reasoning. TD would be very comfortable going to Syracuse. May not be IVY but its a good academic school and he'd be very happy and welcomed here.So, if I can blue sky for a moment, assume TD didn't get in to Cornell.

Yale has been willing to reach for kids (academically) - see for example Gaudet.
I wonder what Joe Neuman, I believe the top FOGO recruit in the country headed to Yale, is thinking about this?
{Insert 5 eyes bulging out of head emojis here, if true}Ierlan to Yale...wow.
This is a good lesson from Yale on how you stay on top. They go out and get great players that ignite the program, the Orange seem to be the opposite lately.
Winning begets winners and more winning and losing begets crap.Hyperbolize much...Stay on top with that 1 Championship this season. We get it, Desko is to blame.
look at the rise of Yale hockey. the admission standards for Yale are much easier than Cornell for athletics. the same for Harvard and Princeton.. its one reason Cornell has struggled competing in most sports for awhile
if you think this is so then you really dont follow cornell hockey at all.I follow Clarkson Hockey and just in general the ECAC recruiting picture closely, Cornell has the easiest admission standards for Hockey of the Ivy programs and that's been known for quite some time since the Harkness days. Harvard is Harvard so they can get away with it as they are sought after by a lot of young recruits but they lose a few big fish every year or two because they can't qualify. Yale actually has been trending down in Hockey, and a big reason why is the big recruits they get haven't really panned out besides for a few like Hayden or Kemp/Snively now, they really aren't getting that many either and they've lost the momentum of the National Championship. Princeton is letting a few Canadians in that I know couldn't qualify for other programs so I don't know about that as well, I respect Fogarty though, great coach. Hockey is a weird situation with some guys taking years off of school while playing juniors and then have to take a few courses to qualify, a lot of 20 year old freshmen.
