    Another kick to the nuts, considering he was on the radar for over a year and the Vee's connections to WI. Do we have a shot at his team mate Dante Fabbro, (are we looking at him) or do you think he's bound for Seattle?

      Fabbro was always more likely to end up at Wisconsin than Jost. From what I've heard Jost didn't have the academic pedigree that Fabbro had and may not have been able to get into UW even if he wanted to. UW still in the race for Fabbro but the new staff is going to have to play catch up. Fabbro will be NCAA bound.

          If Fabbro goes anywhere in ncaa other than UW and the staff had better bring in the next coming of chelios or suter cause this kid should have been a lock by now. Not to mention I'm absolutely ****ing tired of eaves losing recruits already.

            More likely they both end up at Denver than UND.

                Exactly. This crew has a ton of work ahead of them. And to be honest I think the well is poisoned with eaves at the helm. The recruit losses are mounting not abating and there's no chance to turn things around until they bring in stud recruits annually

                  Something is rotten in Denmark. If Jost can get into Denver, he should be able to get into UW. While I understand UW is a really really good school, DU is not some directional trade school.

                    Interesting. I thought Denver and Wisconsin were comparable academically. We all know North Dakota runs a mercenary program.

                      DU is a very good school, but acceptance rate is about 77% and as a private institution they can actually accept anyone they want to. Admissions at DU specifically take a "holistic" approach and I'd guess being a world class Lacrosse or Hockey player is, on it's own, given some strong consideration. Public schools generally have to apply standards more uniformly.

                      Not saying your wrong though. But really my understanding has been that Fabbro has been very interested in UW all along and really the fact that he and Jost are good friends and team mates is more of what connected Jost to UW than anything Jost has done or said. I think we were really just hoping to somehow manage to steal a big extra bonus there. Always thought it was a bit of a long shot with Jost. Too bad though, kid is a great player from what I've seen of him.

                        I think this sums it up nicely.

                            Be serious. Heatley had 126 pts in 60 gp as a 17 yr. old in the AJHL. That gets you in anywhere.

                              Based on the current squad, you should be treating Fabbro like a Heatley then.

                                Wisko can try to justify it anyway he wants, but the bottom line is the best recruits aren't coming to Wisconsin right now and haven't been for years, leading to 4 wins.

                                MM might have poisoned the waters so much that the program can't recover while he remains the head coach. I hope Strand and Bittner can help turn things around. That's all we got at this point....
