Wisconsin Recruiting V - Does it even matter?

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting V - Does it even matter?

Here's a little on defenseman Tristan Luneau, who committed to the #Badgers in 2019 but hasn't closed the door on the QMJHL. He could be the major junior league's No. 1 draft pick tonight, setting up the competition for the prized recruit.https://t.co/k9dpi4BKno

Not a chance Luneau comes to Madison now after being selected first overall.

I say this because I looked... Do you know how many players that have been selected #1 overall in the QMJHL have not gone to their teams since 2004? Zero.

Milewski tweeted that he has indeed signed, so… yeah, so much for that.

Guys as good as that? It does, but it’s not a #1 concern IMO.

Think of this as a Sam Ganger situation, a blue chipper of blue chippers. The difference being: it’s being played out far enough ahead of time that it won’t impact recruiting much at all.

And it wasn’t the Gangers of the world that concerned us with Eaves’ recruiting.

Sam Gagner. 6th overall pick in 2007 draft.

Not that anyone will notice here, since the upgrade has killed forum engagement, but Massimo Rizzo is back on the market.

No inside knowledge, but I have stopped believing in coincidences with these kind of things. The fact that Messner departs, Wisconsin recruited Rizzo hard and now he is on the market and UW needs a forward for this season? Like I said, I don't think it's a coincidence, but I may be proven wrong. My guess is that he is headed for UW.

I would not like it if Messner was pushed put the door for Rizzo. I'll hope it's just a coincidence.

Are you kidding? We'll take Rizzo then...

I would not like it if Messner was pushed out the door for Rizzo. I'll hope it's just a coincidence.

I did not mean to imply that I think Messner was pushed out. I just believe that Rizzo's decommit from Nodak right after we have a spot open for this season seems like too big of a coincidence, thus I'm thinking he lands at UW.
