We've told you
who in this year's freshman class will make an impact on the ice.
But who, just by their name appearing in a box score, will bring
a smile to our faces? Who is prepared to carry the torch previously
held by the likes of Bryce Cockburn, Scooter Smith and Mike Funk?
Make no mistake,
a high standard has been set. But we think the members of INCH's
2003 Recruiting All-Name Team might just have the stuff to carry
on that legacy. You'll find their names, with comments, below.

No,
I don't have a twin brother, and we don't go to Maine.

You
haven't lived until you've visited the Little Italy section

he’s not Karl’s brother. It’s not spelled
“Goehring,” and he’s taller than 5-foot-6.
