No one entering HC prior to 1998 could be one of them as you said "no scholarship players in the PL era"...every scholarship player who was grandfathered in from the MAAC played in the finals.
Mike Cavataio Justin Burrell Anthony Thompson Malcolm Miller Clayton LeSan
Good start. I know how to find the other ones but that would be cheating. So I won't reply until everyone's had a shot. Except that Thompson's incorrect!

Dudzinski and Taylor Abt. I'd have to think for more. Maybe the class of Beans, Stevens, Goens, Eric O?

If you were a scholarship player and played for Willard, you went to a PLC.

It's a great question- when doing a quick scan of the rosters I picked out Dudz and Abt to make 6 (and threw out Anthony Thompson); but that's as far as I got w/o digging deeper. (edit) - Yes, it's the 4 above, they all were recruited by RW (he left in the summer) but never played for him. Kearney and three years w/Milan. But, are there one or two more that never played on a PL finalist because they missed that season?

Those are the ten names I had
I limited the question to scholarship players because walk ons can play for a year then disappear. Other guys I thought of who didn't play 4 years like McKeever, FIngleton, and Paterick all played on a team that went to the finals. Maybe I'm missing someone, but I can't guess who
There was some speculation at the turn of the century that some of the older guys like Curry were given scholarships when the school brought them back for the 99 season. If that is the case, maybe James Stowers, who is the only guy to fit in the 4 year span between Coach Raynor's '96 appearance and Coach WIllard's first in 2001
I think it likely we will be adding two names to this list very soon. I'll be really bummed if we add more than 4

What about Christopher Morgan? Missed the championship season due to injury, but graduated (unless I missed something).

I personally wouldn't count him since he played most of the preseason and traveled with the team all season. He only got hurt about a week or two before the season and it wasn't an automatic season ender, it just ended up taking that long to heal.
