Is this not accurate then? Chris Dilks responded to him and it sounded legit.

Apparently not.

That stuff changes by the hour.

On the surface of things it would sure seem Caleb Jones and Wisconsin would mutually benefit each other. Jones would learn under a couple of very good veterans in Schulze and Wittchow and still have an opportunity for plenty of playing time, not to mention Wisconsin's rep for preparing D for the next level.
Wisconsin could turn the tables on the whole Keegan Ford fiasco and create some real competition among D men for playing time, something that doesn't really exist at this point. Win-win to me. Let's get it done!

Hopefully Jones sees all the former UW guys playing D in the NHL, and sees himself as part of the solution to improving UW.

I've got a source that says UW has landed a quality F for the 2017, Kohen Olischefski out of BC. Kid sounds like a awesome overall player with a good frame to build on 6-1. It will be fun to watch him light up the BCHL the next 2 years. I'm sure more details on him could be found somewhere in the interweb.

Another nice thing about him is that if he's very good next year he would probably be in a position to come in for '16 if he was needed.

Wonder how Caleb Jones' visit went. Be nice if Tkachuk tagged along informally. After his hat trick against the Caps yesterday he has to like how he scores in Madison.

Parsells and Stillwell named Mr. Hockey finalists. No surprise here.

Milwaukee Jr. Admirals U16 defenseman Zach Metsa (Delafield, Wis.) committed to Quinnipiac last night. And no, as far as I know Wisconsin wasn't chasing him.

I do find it interesting when a young kid like that commits to a school like that though. Weighing that option of taking the first or second offer now or waiting for a better one down the road and risking not getting one. Not an easy game to play.

Do you have any concerns about Stillwell's size?

Maybe it's a good fit, a large campus like UW isn't for everyone.

So are you implying that Quinnipiac is some crap program? Because they aren't. National Runner up 2 years ago. Have also never had a losing season at the Division 1 level and are one of the top teams in the ECAC. This is one of the better programs in the country.
