Bad move, Shawn Walsh! This kid could be a serious detrement to moral. A gamble I wouldn't take. Shawn, you aren't trying to piss-off Jack Parker, are you? Coach Parker is the type of guy I imagine would like to see Brendan Walsh do well despite their differences ... so not much of a chance there. Good move, Brendan Walsh! Well, maybe this kid has grown up a bit. I think Walsh is one of the nastiest players in the nation ... something I haven't found to be common in Maine players. He's certainly talented and feisty ... he'd make a good addition to UNH. To Brendan's credit, he had certainly shown some discipline during the first half of last year ... something BU's Coach Parker must've been appreciating. Walsh was quite successful at staying out of the penalty box. But, his second half deteriorated ... and finally Parker gave him the boot ... for off-ice violations from what was reported. Now does the NCAA look more favorably on a transfer player who has been removed from his school's roster as opposed to a player the school may want to keep (aka Lovell)? Imagine Brendan contacting hated arch-rival Boston College! Even more hilarious is imagining Michigan Admissions perusal of Brendan's academics.

The sophomore center is appealing to the NCAA to have his transfer year waived so he can compete next season for the Black Bears. In addition to Maine, Walsh also contacted Michigan, Michigan State and Boston College about a possible transfer.
