Message: [QUOTE="terriers18, post: 35351, member: 395"] I agree. While I'd like to see SU in Hockey East, it would take years for the program to be competitive with the top of the league. The biggest reason Providence, UML...etc. "aren't exactly powers," is because the big four BU, BC, UNH and Maine are so strong. With Notre Dame added to that group breaking into the top tier will be even tougher. While SU certainly has overall name recognition, I also wouldn't assume that they'd automatically out recruit Cornell or RPI, which have won national championships, or even Clarkson ( poor the last couple years but a traditional ECAC power). It would be great to find out though. How Penn St. fares next year may say a lot. [/QUOTE]
