Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

We are a team, thanks for having my back there.

Did you see the chatter on the women's thread about a goalie committing?

I haven't been getting notifications for a bit. Working on it now.

Didn't know about this goalie. Is Cameron Rowe still coming?

**Direct messaged Todd M and he says Rowe is coming and this guy is replacing Blomquist.

Ok, I was a little freaked out. I assume Grannon is coming as well....

Grannan according to Todd D is a at least year out. Interesting. I like the idea of staggering him and Rowe, but if he can help them win next year, I wish he was coming.
 
Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

Historically, this means Grannan isn’t coming.

You can probably count on Lieutenant Dan’s toes the number of times we’ve pushed a mid-to-high-end recruit out a year without seeing them give us the finger and go play somewhere else.

I have added Ben Garrity to the spreadsheet.

Up in Eagle River fishing for the weekend, but still have to do the important work in the mornings.

The most important question.....How is the fishing?
 
Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

A current 20-year-old goalie (who will be a 21-year-old freshman) from the NAHL. Not excited at all.

Those of you who know me, know my stance on NAHL players on the Badgers. Not knocking the kids personally, they just aren't as talented as Tier 1.

This signing now has me worried, since Grannon hasn't signed yet and isn't coming. I'll wait to implode if he doesn't come.

What lakes? I've spent some time up there this winter (my brother lives in Conover Township). Lots of snow this year.

This is not a goalie they're expecting to play much.

I'm not a big fan of NAHL players (less concerned about goalies), but we have one that played a year in NA after HS and has more conference points in the same amount of games as your 5th overall draft pick.

Grannon is scheduled for 21-22 or 22-23 based on what Todd M is saying.
 
Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. IV - It's all coming together

Likely the plan is that he’s a Mitch Thompson, Ryan Jeffrey type.

An emergency goalie that happens to be rostered.

Yeah he’s not coming. Book it.

Unless NTDP goalies are more used to being held back a year in the USHL than the skaters, but I have a hard time picturing a NTDP caliber player that’s just cool with not going straight to college.

Hopefully it’s fine, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Grannan pulled a (non-NTDP alums, but still were put in the same position) Montpetit/Wiercioch on us.

I have no idea and you may be right. This signing of Garrity was definitely a surprise to me.

If Grannan comes in 21-22 after 1 year in the USHL, we would be carrying 4 goalies for a year with Lebby as a senior and Garrity/Rowe as Sophomores. That just doesn't seem likely to me. Have they had 4 goalies on the roster at one time before?

Edit: Grannan is U17 goalie this year, wouldn't he be on the U18 team next year, like Rowe is this year? That makes more sense to me. but still have the 4 goalies for one year issue.

Granato wants to cut Lebby. I can feel it in the air.

Unless he’s blaming Lebby for the ****ty defense in front of him in quotes as like… gamesmanship or something…
