he was really good at Hlinka, if he wasn’t so short he might get first/second round buzz for this draft

Badgers get commitment from Rylan Hanson

The Badgers got another commitment from a member of the U.S. team for this year's Hlinka Gretzky Cup. Defenseman Rylan Hanson from Elk River-Zimmerman in Minnesota is on the affiliate list of the USHL's Muskegon Lumberjacks.

USHL season starts today. Most current recruits are playing there. New guy Rylan Hanson is playing senior year in Minn HS I believe, but maybe he’d play some games after his season (believe his rights are with Muskegon)
Not sure what’s up with Jaxon Williams - looks like he was left off the Brampton Steelheads roster after playing the back half of last year with them. Looks like he was with the Sioux Falls Stampede for some of their training camp/ preseason, but from the final roster the Stampede posted to Twitter he was left off their regular season roster as well. He is listed on a preseason not up to date roster for them on USHL.com, and if you click on his linked player info it says his NCAA commitment is Boston College.

Is he any good?

I believe since he is slightly younger he cannot commit until a later date next year. I would hope he’s strongly considering UW - seems like a very talented player aside from the obvious family history. But hard to say with total certainty he will end up as a badger

I hope Brooks becomes a Badger!!
My god, I feel really old now. I never saw Bob Suter play but I did see Gary Suter for one season in Madison when I was a kid.

He has been quite good in a small sample size in the OHL this year, and he was a first round OHL pick this past summer, but perhaps what says the most to me is the upset Michigan State fans on social media...

Recruited by new coach Nick Peruzzi new him from the youth program in Michigan. Good stuff and great article (paywall, but Todd's work worth the money):

Is it just an ntdp thing for these kids to sign right now, even if they don’t end up on campus next fall?
Mineman is in his first year of junior hockey, and I would assume we’d bring in Kurtz and Frey to replace Palodichuk and Schulz. Even if Hensler and/or Osburn signed ELCs, I’d imagine we would fill those spots via the portal or by bringing in an older freshman.
Similarly, not sure I see a clear path for Winters. He’s pretty talented, and looks like a possible draft pick next summer. Would you force Miceli out for Winters to be the third goalie? I guess it’s also possible Cournoyer signs with Montreal and Winters gets a look that way. I assumed Winters would play another year of juniors before coming. I guess we’ll see.
Side bar in regards to the ntdp: Lucas Zajic is off to a very hot start in the USHL (7 goals in 8 games) after a very meh year with the u18 team last year

ntdp does a whole day of signings but plenty end up spending another year in juniors, at least lately. some are spending 2- Mace’o Phillips and G Harrison Boettiger among them (but not the only ones). also one of the BU freshmen Amico decided to return to USHL at the half, has looked much better this season for the terriers. they’ve had a tough few years in ntdp, it looks like this years u17s could be very good
Boettiger is especially good as an example imo, bc he’s committed to DU. i think we are all familiar with their goalie situation. he announced this summer his return to kelowna. his tandem mate Patrick Quinlan did a year with Sarnia and just helped a very thin Notre Dame to a sweep last weekend. last years starter Brady Knowling is in Saginaw.
OHL Owen Sound has Winters rights in the CHL but they can be traded easily enough if a team expresses interest. the former ntdp guys have been high targets for most chl teams and their scouts def take notice of the best during the CHL/USA top prospects game
In terms of the Forwards. We have zero senior forwards. And I don’t really see any forwards going pro after this year. If we bring Zajic and others in, players will need to transfer out, but who? Also Sokol was off to a hot start. So was Rooney. That is 3 forward who could all come in. Needing 3 to transfer out

These days of NIL, they essentially get cut if they want someone else to come in.

As if on cue, Schlossman tweeted this morning that D Brek Liske of the Everett Silvertips may sign. Taken a few spots below Kurtz by the Flyers in this past draft. Doesn't seem to be official though. So maybe group coming in is Kurtz, Frey, Liske?
As for forwards I think there's an outside chance Wiebusch or Morrissey could sign as free agents. But as of right now seems impossible to predict what will happen the forward group with transfers, freshman, pro signings, and all that.

I saw this. Schlossman's exact tweet was:
"Everett defenseman Brek Liske, a second-round Flyers pick, is expected to sign with Wisconsin."
When I think about signings, portal, NIL I ultimately look at how Penn St was decimated this past year and had to basically rely on a patchwork of portal guys to come in and play well. They haven't.
I think UW though has all the right people talking to recruots and transfers though so expectations are clear. Hastings routinely says he promises nothing to recruits and transfers...that everything is earned.
I think it will all mete out the way that best helps the program with this staff.
