  • Re: Wisconsin Hockey Recruiting Vol. XXXIV: Go pick me out a winner, Strand

    I've thought for some time that if we're dreaming of stealing away D for this fall that either Harvard's Adam Fox or John Marino would be a giant coup. Very unlikely. But speaking of Harvard I see Ty Pelton-Byce who committed to UMASS a couple months ago has now switched to Harvard.

    I would expect the triumvirate is putting a full court press on Greenway. One thing that I forgot about is that he was drafted by Plymouth in the CHL which is now of course the Flint Firebirds, who are a complete mess. Their owner, Rolf Nilsen was just suspended by the league for 5 years along with other penalties being issued. Unless he's traded, ( a good possibility I suppose) it seems much more likely now that J.D. goes to NCAA. Most likely to BU with his brother, but one never knows.

      BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

      Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

        Only a handful on that team are uncommitted at this point:
        Ullan - G from Minnesota
        Emberson - D from Wisconsin
        King - D from Arizona
        Miller - D from Minnesota
        Middendorf - F from Arizona

        You have to think that the kids from Arizona are going to get a lot of pressure to go to ASU. That leaves 3 left from WI and MN.

        And wow, I'm starting to feel old. all of these kids were born after I graduated high school.

              Yeah. Can't have it both ways. All those guys come in and Mike is the probably the coach for 10 more years. So to me, you kind of have to pick which way you'd prefer it to be going forward.


              I've asked around a lot as to what people think about this fall, and the consensus seems to be that the staff will press hard to add players even though the window is slim. So that probably means either Ivies, or other committed players that haven't signed an NLI yet. You might especially look to players that had Wisconsin on their short list before choosing another school. To me that suggests one superstar in particular that committed elsewhere last October. Any guesses as to who I have in mind?

              Might help if Detroit loses today and gets knocked out of the playoffs this weekend I suppose. Really have to get moving as I believe NLI signing opens up next Wednesday.

                Doesn't do a lot to take the sting off, but it's better than nothing.

                  Good luck... Watched Greenway last night. He's raw, but definitely could be a solid D1 dman. Could see you taking him.

                    Fabbro? Jost?
                    Well, it occurred to me that Fabbro would almost have to be the first call for Oz and Donny. Or second I guess. Ron Vincent (the managing partner for Penticton) was at the coaches introduction so they wouldn't have to call him, but they could possibly call Justin Schultz and ask him to intervene as well, since Justin played for Oz and is also a big idol of Fabbro's. It's obviously super hard to turn someone from a commitment, but it seems he's one guy for which they'd have to pull out all the stops and try to get him back to Wisconsin. It's probably a long shot but it's not impossible they could get him to reconsider given the dramatic changes.

                    Recruiting dead period from Monday until Thursday to give commits a chance to sign NLI's on Wednesday. Whatever they are trying to do with committed guys, they're almost done doing it.

                        Greenway seems to have all the raw material in the world. Unfortunately a little bird mentioned to me that there could possibly be an academic issue there as far as UW goes. Nothing definite though.

                          What is that, Digranatomonozide?

                          It's not quite the right order, but I'm leaning towards referring to them as OGG.

                                Can't do that. That would be a recruiting violation. Fabbro has to initiate contact.
