There's recruiting news to report, so I guess we should talk about it, as a site that talks about such things. 2001-born goaltender Spencer Knight, who is, remarkably, 6'4'' at the age of 14, committed to the Eagles yesterday, becoming BC's first 01-born commitment. If he goes the Thatcher Demko/Katie Burt route and accelerates, we'll see him in 2018-2019. On a more normal trajectory, he'll be here in '19-'20 or '20-'21, presuming Earth isn't wiped out by an asteroid by then, or whatever.
This is, ostensibly, a good thing, coming on the heels of a top 15-year-old, Patrick Giles, committing to the Eagles a few weeks back. Presuming one of the 55,000 things that could prevent a 14-year-old from eventually successfully arriving on campus does not happen, Knight is projected to be an elite talent. It's also, I suppose, a good sign that recruits whose college careers project out to 2022 and 2023 (good Lord) are pledging their future to BC. It's hard to imagine Jerry York will still be coaching at that time, so recruits and their families/advisors are obviously still confident about the future of the program even if York were not to be there.
