Meet Your New Terriers

The best and worst part about following college sports is the turnover. It keeps things exciting and fresh, but it also guarantees that no matter how talented a player is and how much he loves his school, he will be gone in four years.

After a year like 2009, that is a scary proposition for fans of the Terriers. Hobey Baker himself Matt Gilroy heads up the list of now-former Terriers, followed closely by his Assistant Captain Brian Strait, who left the friendly confines of Boston U a year early to get his feet wet in the NHL. World-Beater Colin Wilson understandably decided to follow the same path all the way to Nashville. Add the loss of graduating seniors John McCarthy, Chris Higgins, Brandon Yip, Jason Lawrence and Steve Smolinsky and all of a sudden you just said goodbye to a third of your team.

Luckily, BU is BU, and as always there is a very strong incoming class of freshman on Commonwealth Avenue.

TMA will break down the numbers on each of the seven incoming recruits in the coming weeks individually, but first we'll get you excited about it with a nifty little feature from GoTerriers.com.

BU Athletics wants you to know all about the newest members of the family. Check it out, and realize that the first exhibition game is less than three short months away.
