If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
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.

Wow, Badgers just landed a major recruit. 2000-born Chicago Mission d-man Brady Smith. He's a stud....in the conversation for the best 2000-born defenseman I've seen. Will be curious to see how this plays into Ty Emberson (EC Memorial) decision but getting Smith is a huge step in the right direction.

"I think it's ****ing stock. What--? Which part of that is unclear to you? I think it sounds stock to my ears. I mean, do you want me to write it down?" Tap Pt. 2

According to my database he's an eighth grader (will be a freshman this fall). Might be Wisconsin's earliest commit ever? Previous youngest was Jordan Schmaltz, for those wondering.
Update: Pretty close to Schmaltz. They are/were both 14 years old, 10 months when they committed.Last edited by Chuck Schwartz; 07-07-2015, 12:35 AM.

Here's the payback for having to watch Cavallini's kid play...oh wait...what did you say....Dvorak. Color me cynical at this point as a 14 year old has no idea what he wants 4 years from now. Hell an 18 year old goalie who is on campus for Summer school don't know what he wants 4 months out much less 4 years.

EDIT: this kid will be playing for a different coach 4 years from now.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Wow, the negativity on this board never stops does it...
Our inside expert is telling us that he is a great player

Come on people!!! A great young player,an in-state player even, is saying that he wants to play for the Badgers! He is looking past the current mess, the other players decommitting, the instability at the coaching position and he still says that he wants to come play here!
Let's just take a moment to reflect on all of the positives involved in this situation, I realize that may be difficult for some people but let's give it a shot, at least for a day or two.

And all anyone can do is **** and moan that "he's too young", "what are we thinking taking a commit from a kid this young", "it'll be great when he decommits in 4-5 years".

Optimism is a nice thing sometimes, but in the world of recruiting, I don't know how anyone can't have a bit of pessimism with a report of such an early commitment.
