    Chris Sandmeyer

    Chris Heisenberg has listed a new commitment for Michigan State -
    6'1 170# defenseman Chris Sandmeyer from Green Mountain of EJHL.
    He is a former Portage Central standout.

    40 games at Green Mountain he has 5 goals, 15 assists.
    Note: Those 20 points came in his last 22 games. That's a nice run.

        He's a 1990. Kinda rare to get success out of a 4-year Michigan high school player who comes right out of the EJHL, but I get the sense he's a late bloomer. Put up some great numbers to close out the season, as has been mentioned - wicked on special teams too!

          Here's an up-to-date list of signed recruits and verbal commits

          Code:
          --2010--
          Name		Pos.	Birthdate	Home Town		Current Team		Height	Weight	Status	Previous Team	
          ----		----	---------	---------		------------		------	------	------	-------------
          Willie Yanakeff	G	4/30/1992	Jerome, Michigan	Sioux City (USHL)	6'2	185	Signed	USNTDP U18	***
          Lee Reimer	C	8/2/1990	Landmark, Manitoba	Canmore (AJHL)		6'0	170	Signed	OCN Blizzard	***
          Greg Wolfe	C	4/25/1990	Canton, MI		Omaha (USHL)          	5'10	187	Signed	Chicago (USHL)   ***
          +Chris Sandmeyer D	8/6/1990	Portage, Michigan	Green Mountain (EJHL)	6'1	170	Verbal	Portage Central HS **
          Brent Darnell	C	3/23/1992	Canton, Michigan	Sioux Falls (USHL)	5'11	186	Verbal	USNTDP U17	**
          David Johnstone	RW	11/26/1991	Grand Ledge, Michigan	Indiana (USHL)		6'0	170	Verbal	Traverse City (NAHL)	**
          Andrew Sinelli	F	3/23/1992	Dexter, Michigan	Sioux City (USHL)	5'10	165	Verbal	Honeybaked AAA	**
          
          --2011--	
          Michael Gunn¹ 	D	5/11/1992	Livonia, Michigan	Chicago (USHL)		6'2	180	Verbal	St. Louis (NAHL)	**
          
          --2012--	
          Reid Boucher²	F	9/8/1993	Grand Ledge, Michigan	NTDP-U17 (USHL)		5'9	180	Verbal	Belle Tire AAA	***
          That leaves 3 verbally committed forwards. Seeing that we're going for the older recruit these days, I'd not be shocked to see them either de-commit or be part of the 2011 class.

          + Sandmeyer will walk-on in the Fall
          ¹ Boucher is a 14th-round pick of Sarnia Sting (OHL)
          ² Gunn is a 10th-round pick of London Knights (OHL)

              MLive has picked this up

              http://www.mlive.com/sports/kalamazo...nus_chris.html

              Still nothing official as far as a press release of a signing ... could be we're waiting on an announcement of an LOI for a forward and both will be reported together.

                  Meanwhile, I believe we've filled our need at forward for now.

                  52 points in 57 games in his 09/10 USHL season with Chicago and Omaha.
                  Interestingly, Wolfe was verbally committed to Western Michigan.

                  Spartans Add Wolfe To Incoming Class
                  Wolfe joins Reimer, Yanakeff at MSU in fall 2010


                  East Lansing, Mich. - Michigan State hockey coach Rick Comley has announced that Greg Wolfe (Canton, Mich.) has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Spartans. He will join fellow incoming freshmen Lee Reimer (Landmark, Manitoba) and Willie Yanakeff (Jerome, Mich.) on the Spartan roster in the fall of 2010.

                  “We are excited that Greg has signed his letter and will be coming to East Lansing in the fall,” noted Comley. “Greg is a skilled player, and has a nose for the net. He can play in every situation, making him a versatile addition. He, Lee and Willie will play a big part in filling out the needs on our roster for coming years. We think that they all will contribute positive things to our program. We currently have a young team, and are excited about adding promising young players to that mix for the coming seasons.”

                  This season, Wolfe was involved in a trade-deadline deal in the USHL that sent him from Chicago to Omaha. He helped the Lancers to a first-place finish in the West Division, and are still alive in the Clark Cup playoffs, currently facing off with the Fargo Force in the West Division finals, a best-of-seven series. In 18 games with Omaha, he has averaged better than a point per game (7g, 13a) and is a +18. In Chicago, he had a 17-15-32 scoring line in 39 games, with four power-play goals and three shorthanded strikes.

                  Reimer is also still playing hockey in the AJHL’s Doyle Cup playoffs. In the regular season, Reimer led the Canmore Eagles in scoring with a 33-44-77 scoring line in 59 games, ranking 10th in the league in points, eighth in goals, 10th in assists, 13th in points per game (1.13), sixth in power play goals (11), and fourth in shorthanded markers (4). Through six playoff games, he has one goal and seven assists.

                  Yanakeff had his 2009-10 season shortened by injury, and was also the subject of a mid-season USHL trade from Sioux City to the Waterloo Blackhawks. In his 10 games in Waterloo, he posted a 5-5-0 record and 3.41 GAA for the Blackhawks, who finished fourth in the East Division.

                    I can see why you didn't show the recruit photo as that would have prompted confusion amongst the men's or women's team?

                    He apparently chose MSU as it appears that hair is very important to the recruits and current and former players.

                      If anyone's confused about this, there are bigger issues.

                          That is what happens when the W Mich coach got canned. All bets are off with the players...

                          Chicago Steel forward Greg Wolfe. (USHL Images)
                          Wolfe Commits to Western Michigan UniversityThe Chicago Steel announced that forward Greg Wolfe has committed to Western Michigan University and will attend the school beginning in the fall of 2010.

                          The 19-year-old native of Canton, Michigan ranks third on the Steel in scoring with 30 points (15g, 15a) through 36 games this season. Wolfe was named team captain for 2009-10 and is second in goals (15) while leading the club with a plus-six rating. He began this season scoring a goal in each of Chicago's first four games. Wolfe is playing in his second USHL season after recording 27 points (21g, 6a) in 41 games during the 2008-09 campaign.

                          Wolfe will be joined by Steel teammate Nick Pisellini at Western Michigan. Three other current USHL players are also committed to attend the school following their USHL careers; Dennis Brown (Omaha Lancers), Dan Dekeyser (Sioux City Musketeers), and David Donnellan (Youngstown Phantoms).

                              Yet another sign there is a perception out there that MSU Athletics (with a capital "A" to signify those at the top) doesn't give a high priority to hockey.

                              Mark Yanis is a highly-touted defenseman playing for Belle Tire. He's quoted as saying the following in an interview with Rivals - in which he makes two subtly d@mning back-handed comments.

                              "Here in Michigan is (sic) just kind of football and basketball at Michigan State and (at Minnesota) it's hockey, hockey, hockey, so it's kind of overwhelming with the fans and just the people," he said. "I've always wanted to go (to MSU) but my goal is to go to the NHL and Minnesota has been a great team for developing defensemen."
                              So Mark, is it the facilities? The personnel? Or could it be both?

                                Somebody should send that article to Hollis in the hope that it somehow gets under his skin.

                                I'm not sure if apathy is lethal or not, but it sure seems poisonous.
