According to who? You?
John Lilly(this coming from a BU guy) , the head pro scout for Toronto Maple Leafs said that without question, he is the top dman in the league and was blown away with his improvement. The Vernon coach has a history of teaching and preparing kids for D 1, not fake points and then sit in the stands like some do in the wild west.
Problem with him at BC was very simple. Went to early, they neeeded a D. He was at deerfield and vefore that Eaglebrook, 2 schools who didnt teach but let him run around and get away on talent alone. BC didnt have time to do it as they were winnijng natl championships. The Vernon coach has and has speant a ton of time with him and he is playing very well. You mention DU. FYI, they were after him as well and offered but he wanted Hockey east. The Denver coach might disagree with you...... Was shocked he had not committed and offered on the spot after watching him over break
