UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

The USHL phase II draft was today and Jak Vaarwerk was taken #1 overall by Des Moines.

Here is the list of recruits drafted today:

Rd 1 #1 Des Moines Jak Vaarwerk
Rd 3 #39 Youngstown Daniil Dolzhenko
Rd 12 #181 Sioux City Jaiden Moriello

First, this is great news about Jak. He finished as the 2nd highest scoring '03 in the NAHL, and he's having a great playoff run so far (5 GP 4-4-8).

Since he was taken #1, I'm thinking he'll be playing for Des Moines next season even though the Jamestown press release said he was coming to Lowell in 2022-23.

Danill was also drafted fairly high. All of Lowell's recruits will likely be on a USHL team except for Jaiden who is expected to play in the BCHL.

The pipeline might not be huge, but I would say recruiting has improved. I like that Norm has been seeking out USHL caliber players over CCHL/AJHL/etc.
 
Vaarwerk will definitely not be part of this year's incoming class. The Lowell Sun article that covers this news said all three drafted players are expected for 2023-2024 season.
 
I was curious so decided to look up how the first pick in the USHL Phase 2 Draft has done the past few years (skipping 2021 since the player isn't in the NCAAs yet). While we have had players taken in the First Phase, I believe this is the highest pick Lowell has ever committed.

2020 Owen Gallatin, D (Minn Duluth). Just finished his freshman year with a 2-15-17 in 42 games played.
2019 Sean Farrell, F (Harvard). Also just finished his freshman year with a 10-18-28 in 24 games played.
2018 Trevor Janicke, F (Notre Dame). Finished his junior season with a 15-9-24 in 40 games. His NCAA career shows 106 games played, 27-20-47.
2017 Graham Slaggert, F (Notre Dame). His collegiate career just ended with 27-42-69 in 143 games. He finished the season in the AHL after the Irish season ended this past season.
2016 Matt Hellickson, D (Notre Dame). His collegiate career shows a 13-39-52 in 146 games. He played in the AHL last year, but finished the season in the ECHL.

Some pretty reputable programs getting the #1 pick, so hopefully a good sign. Of course, the 2015 first pick went to Vermont ... so who knows?
 
Hey. Positive signs are positive. Let's hope for a healthy productive year and see what happens down the line
 
In this article in the Post-Journal, some pretty good comments about Vaarwerk by his coach.
“He made it look really easy. He’s a heck of a hockey player. I would say Jak Vaarwerk is the best hockey player I’ve coached in my eight years in the NAHL,” Coombs said. “He’s the best hockey player the NAHL has seen in my eight years. He’s an awesome kid and a great teammate. I love him to death. He’s a treat to coach.”

“Hopefully I’ll watch Jak grow into hopefully cashing a paycheck,” Coombs added. “I think the ability is there and he has the passion to match.”

Sioux City and UMass Lowell recruit Owen Fowler win the United States Hockey League's Clark Cup with an overtime win over Madison.

Dillan Bentley and the New Mexico Wolves were eliminated by the New Jersey Titans (2 games to 1) in double overtime tonight. The Titans scored late in the 3rd period to send the game into overtime and then got the game winner on the PP in the second overtime. It was the second night in a row that the Wolves lost in overtime. Dillan was held scoreless in the 3-game series.

One last addition to the incoming 2022-23 freshman class:

@Scanlon65

UMass Lowell wraps up incoming freshman class by adding 6-2, 215-pound defenseman Mitchell Becker. Rogers, Minn., native compiled 10-21-31 line in 60 games with New Mexico of the NAHL.

He's a teammate of incoming Lowell recruit Dillan Bentley. 3.25* rated by Neutral Zone. NZ had this to say about him after a game against Amarillo in February 2022.
Becker is a big right-shot defender who likes to play simple and physical. He is strong on the walls, in the corners, and in front of the net, and rarely loses battles. In the offensive zone, he made pinches with purpose and did a good job holding the blue line. He has great vision up top and got his shots through along with some nice passes from the point. He tried to slow the game down at times which got him into some trouble. Grade: B-

And one from April 2021.
Big body who likes to play physically. Scares opponents away from the puck with his presence. Skates fast north and south but not as agile. Likes to shoot the puck from the point and can get his heavy shot on net consistently. Grade: B

UMass Lowell wraps up nine-person incoming freshman class with addition of defenseman Mitchell Becker (NAHL). Defenseman Ben Brunette, who had injury-filled season for Waterloo (USHL), will return to junior hockey for one more year.

Here are 20 names to know heading into next week: Twenty names to watch when college hockey's recruiting season opens - Grand Forks Herald | Grand Forks, East Grand Forks news, weather & sports

I don't expect any activity from the Hawks on Monday.

22 - ME
20 - UMA
20 - PC
17 - UVM
16 - BU

13 - UConn
12 - MC

I think Cole Eiserman is the younger bro of former River hawk Will?

Yes, that's correct.

Considering he left the program his sophomore year, his brother probably doesn't hold Lowell in high regard. Anyway, BU's the front runner for him.

And as you said earlier, I expect nothing to come of August 1st for Lowell. That's just not how Bazin recruits.

I do think the program is much more respected now, compared to the Blais McDonald era. However, I am sure Will is not singing our praises. I fully expect a BU, BC or NU commitment.

In regard to your recruiting point, I went to the hockey golf tournament and Bazin spoke about being on the road recruiting high end talent. His point in making that comment was that the people at/support Lowell make working at Lowell special. Bazin mentioned this as many recruits ask why they should attend Lowell. Not saying it’s Eiserman by any means, but thought a lot about the high end talent comment.

I don't disagree with you, but I think we can see by our current commits (and this is nothing against them), but we're not exactly going after the big names that PC, NU and UMass jumped in for once they started showing success. I know we won't compete with the BUs and BCs in the world for recruits, but there's no reason we shouldn't be competing with the other aforementioned programs.
