    Brother Brock is a very slick skating 16 year old scoring forward, but very small (5'5"ish) that was a first round USHL pick by GB. I believe he was also invited to US development camp. Cole is 14... Could end up being a miss and a good steal if they both do actually go to tOSU AND they both develop enough to play D-1. IMO, I think it might be more of a surprise if UW had offered either at this point.

    Also, to me 14 year olds (and 15 year olds too) need to be top 10 players in their age group for the most part to get offers at UW. And IMO, if you're really that good, I wouldn't be all that interested in committing anywhere so young, unless maybe it's a lifelong dream school. But even then I think it's, more often then not, a bad idea these days.

      My magic recruiting 8-ball says to ask back in 2-6 years.

        Wasn't it just the early signing window? Do we not have any verbal commits that should have been signing LOI's and some kind of press release occurring?

          I was thinking the same thing. I keep looking at the recruiting boards and twitter feeds and see nothing.

            The signing period does run through the 18th.

              Fair enough...I can stop holding my breath (at least for another day).

                All I know is the Zimmer, Astren, and Labosky have signed. No word yet on Frederic or Sundberg.

                  You'd think Sundberg would be set since he just committed. And Frederic really should sign as the Badgers will be pretty good next year, but I can't say I'd be completely shocked if he waited... let's just not got there, though.

                    Unfortunately, with Frederic, his signing of an LOI is only a small step in seeing that he plays here next year. It would keep him from playing at another school, but that doesn't matter much if the main threat is the OHL. Hopefully he gets drafted by the Wild or someone like that (i.e. college-friendly).

                      He's owned by the Niagra Ice Dogs, which doesn't completely mean he wouldn't go North, but they've been a lot less successful in pulling from the NCAA then teams like Kitchner or London. I'd say that if for some reason he weren't to become a Badger he'd still very likely go NCAA. Incidentally, his older brother Grant just signed with Miami.

                        Tony Stillwell signed his NLI over the weekend per his Twitter account. I assume that means he will be joining the team next season.

                          Also found on Twitter that Dan Labosky, Jere Astren and Max Zimmer signed NLI's. I did not manage to find anything on Berkovitz, Frederic or Sundberg.

                              Unfortunately I have not seen any of them play. My days in the rink are filled up at this point helping coach my daughter's U-10 girls team..

                                Good for you. It's good to have your priorities in order. It's early yet anyway, but for some of these guys like Stillwell, Jack Becker, Parsells, etc. they are making a big step up in competition and I'm interested to hear how they're doing if anybody gets to a game. On another front I wonder what Matt Berkovitz's status is with UW at the moment? We are obviously going to need a couple quality D next year to eat some minutes...
