Quantity over quality seems to be the new norm. There are at least 5 names on there that have zero business on a middle (much less upper) level D1 team....maybe that's why Wisconsin no longer is?

The herd will be thinned out. Go look at the stats for the last few years of Sauer and the first of Eaves. There are a few names on the list that one looks at and goes who the heck was that. That is what it will be like 5 years when the new coach has removed the remains of the Eaves era.
well that's just great. BU? good for BU though, he's a great player.
FFFF Mike Eaves

UW wasn't in his top 5, I'm not sure UW ever had a chance like they did with Boeser or Jost. Schuey and MM had their foot in the door, I don't know if they were ever invited in. I think the coaching changes kinda torpedoed whatever chance UW had, Bittner and Strand came too late for the party to make any difference.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Recruiting Vol. XXXIV: Go pick me out a winner, Strand
I know some of you might not like this but I know for a fact that Shuchuk had more than a foot in the door with Fabbro. Talking with some alumni that live in BC and are close to the family. If Shuchuk was still in Madison there would have been a pretty good chance Dante would have came. As soon as he got let go and Eaves stayed with his miss. UW was out of the picture. As least he's out east where we won't see him that much.

Gary, you can quit posting here since you now coach at Tech.

They didn't have their foot in the door with Jost. The only real connection with Jost and UW was that he and Fabbro are best friends. A year ago it was all but a given that if Fabbro went NCAA it would be with Wisconsin. Badgerice is correct that Shuchuk was well connected with Fabbro and while obviously there are several other factors over the last year, Shuchuk being gone was certainly significant.
