Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. XXX: 1 All American at a Time

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. XXX: 1 All American at a Time

1999-born Brock Caufield (Stevens Point) committed to Ohio State today. I know someone had asked me about him earlier in this thread. I know UW had some interest in him but I don't think it progressed to an offer. He's got some skills and I don't doubt he'll be a Division I player some day. I would not have made an offer at this point if I were the UW staff.

That was me -- thanks for the update. Was just curious at the time as to where he stacked up in the big picture. That said, I wasn't thinking at the time I was asking the question as it's his younger brother, Cole, who I was thinking of. Only about 13yo now but has been elite since he was very young (not sure what he's been up to in the past year or so, though). His continued progression will be really interesting to follow.

Sounds like Boeser was in Grand Forks last night.

They probably all put their teeth in and everything...

It's not really the Badgers I'm worried about, we'll be fine. It's Boeser, himself. Imagine going through life associated with Maroon or No Name Green... Oh! The Humanity!

Not to mention becoming the most hated player in college hockey. When he could, in turn, be the most loved player in the country by simply donning Cardinal, recognized throughout the land as a color with class!

He's coming in Saturday I believe. Maybe DC can whip up a few cheers, etc. We really have a moral responsibility to do what we can to save this young man from making a terrible, rash, life-destroying decision...

As far as I know, yes, he'll take his official visit on Saturday (Waterloo has a game on Friday night).

What's the scouting report? Blue Chippah?

I heard we won't have to worry about icing the puck anymore because he's capable of just going and getting it before it crosses the endline.

Wonder if the Badgers bring in Tischke?

I'd rather the spot drops a class but we could be up against it if Jack D makes the Junior team... Maybe Navin could switch over in a pinch?

I think the term blue chipper gets thrown around too often (I'm guilty of this as well). Kids like Turris and Fabbro are blue chippers. And Wisconsin doesn't need blue chippers to win championships. They need to get really good kids that are going to stay 4 years, with a blue chipper or 2 mixed in. This is a kid who is going to be a good 4-year player. He's a great skater, very skilled, local kid. He'll be a good college player.

Tischke is not coming in, but the staff does have a replacement for Ford coming in at the semester break. I'll pass it along when I know it's a done deal. USHL d-man that will walk-on.

In with my guess....a Tischke teammate...Jake Bunz. Madison kid, almost 20, and Eaves loves him some size on his project dmen.

99-born defenseman Tyler Inamoto (Shattuck-St. Mary's U16) visited Wisconsin last weekend for the Penn St. series. OHL Draft eligible. Originally from New Jersey, now lives in Chicago.
 
Re: Wisconsin Recruiting Vol. XXX: 1 All American at a Time

This morning Shuey tweeted that he's in Canada, which means he's likely at the WJAC. Boeser, Jost and Fabbro all in action as potential recruits. Also, Seamus Malone on Team USA. Boeser had a hat tick in a pre-tournament game. First official game for USA is Mon night.

Walsh is in British Columbia looking at midget players.

Interesting that in Boeser's interview on Pipeline he implied that academics and the campus would play a big part in his decision as he is a "school guy".

And then proceeded to list beyond #400 world-ranked UND alongside top 30 UW.

(And top 50 MN, of course. Being away from home, he's obviously forgotten how awful the average gofer is.)

Well, it's one thing to be a "school guy," but a whole other thing to be a 1-10-1 "school guy." Everyone has limits.

True enough, but he de-committed right after Bucky played pretty well against Sue and we all still had hope. Goofy probably fits for him, but based only on what he said, UND would seem much less so on the surface.

To be fair he sounded pretty uncomfortable talking about any of it, which is only natural I suppose.

It is really no different than any other person that gets asked a question that they don't want to answer bluntly... they will usually look to say something that is rather bland because they don't want to risk offending somebody. If he answered that question bluntly, I doubt you would have liked what he would have probably said.
