BC continued to rack up recruits, picking up late 2005 birthdate Landan Resendes today. Last season, Resendes played for former BU and Harvard assistant Paul Pearl at Cushing Academy, recording 24 points in 24 games for the Penguins. Resendes is a native of Marlborough, MA.
Neutral Zone has Resendes rated as a 3.75 star recruit. In their most recent writeup on Resendes, Neutral Zone labeled him as a "quick and nimble forward...his skating is great with great use of his edges...he can also bounce off defenders and protect the puck for his size." One scout, in a conversation with me, described Resendes as a "skilled and quick forward who is undersized." New England Hockey Journal's Mark Divver, one New England's most prominent rink rats, said of Resendes "(I'm) a big fan of this player. Undersized but doesn't play like it."
Resendes is scheduled to arrive at BC in the fall of 2024- he will, as of now, join Teddy Stiga and Matthew Frost in that class. As I said in my last post, I would not be surprised if BC kept its 2024 recruiting class pretty low in terms of numbers because they have large classes both this year and in 2023. Furthermore, there are a few 2007 prospects that the coaching staff will undoubtedly have their eyes on- particularly St. Sebastian's forward and BC legacy Teddy Mutryn.
So, that is all. Another nice get for the staff- I think they have a solid mix of high-end forwards like Gauthier, Smith, Leonard, Stiga, and Frost with players who project as more three or four year prospects, such as Resendes, Vote, Gasseau, and Solovey. Obviously, time will tell us how these players develop, but I am excited about the current state of BC's recruiting at the forward position.
