    15-16 looks about the same, with less unknown. Malone and the MN kids will probably step right in fine.

I would also suspect you'll see Hughes come in which I am all for. Letting him percolate in the BCHL in the end probably doesn't change when he early departs from Madison. I would rather have him adapt even a little slowly next season and have some of the growing pains worked out for the next season or two, He is not a kid that will be in Madison 4 years, so why not take him in early. Hughes has an interesting teammate Parker MacKay who is a point a game guy and will turn 20 this Summer.
      I came across MacKay as well. Another 19 yr old is Conner Wilson, he has 57 pts in 60 games. He seems to maybe be cutfrom the Zengerlee/Rockwood cloth as he has 14 goals and 43 assists. Some other 20 or 21 yr olds who are AJHL a pts a game guy who are uncommitted are Jetlan Houcher (love the name), Colton Vannucci, Conner Collett and Jamie King. A highest scoring BCHL guys who are left are Deigo Cuglietta (18), Brendan Taylor (19) Kurt Keats (18). The BCHL guys seem t o have more weight on their frames than the AJHL guys. There certainly looks like there are still some options out there north of the border.

      What scares the crap out of me is the D roster grid with only 3 experienced D returning. Dougherty, Ford and Linhart are all going to see serious icetime, with Tim Davison also essentially being a freshman as far as experience goes. Upon seeing the D chart, my enthusiasm for next year is very tempered, I was so transfixed on the F's up until this point. Maybe they can find a 19-20 yr old D out of Canada. Braden Pairs (20) and Jason Bird (20) are the first uncommitted D in the BCHL. They are the 13th and 14th best D points wise who are available. The AJHL will have to wait til another night.

      Bummer on the bb team, oh so very close.

        Dougherty and Linhart won't look like freshmen. Davison and Ford will compete for 6th D spot, edge to Davison.

        All the Canadians mentioned seem good. But, the BCHLs stats are a little scewed. We are going to have enough big bodies next year (LaBate, Soleway, Ustaski) I would like to see some speed guys. I don't have the knowledge to know if any of the players mentioned fit that profile.

          The good news on the D is that we still have Rumpel.

            Not as concerned about the D. Berkovitz and Tische are both '96's and could be options for this fall. There seem to be some USHL guys that could plug in well. Vanko from Oregon, Wi is a '94 and has 29 points for Chicago (and his listed size of 6'1 179 seems solid). Privitera plays with the Ford brothers and Semus Malone at Dubuque, is a '93, and is 2nd in USHL in dman scoring with 44 points. There a Swede named Brun at Sioux Falls that is 6'3 190, a '94, who is a respectable +13.

              Vanko and Privitera are both committed.

                I do agree that I'd like to see more speed than size, it's just at this time the pickins are slim. It's pretty hard to judge the guys I mentioned other than on points, size and weight. A few of the ajhl guys are 5-11 and 160, pretty thin. But does that make them fast? Who knows. It will be facinating as usual to see who Eaves brings in.

                  MacTavish to BU. Edit: For 2015, according to CHN.

                  Evidently our success rate with Mcs doesn't translate to Macs.

                    Right color scheme, wrong team. Of course we don't know if Eaves was even targeting him. There's still a good amount of Canadians available. I just don't want some super under the radar guys who are nothing more than 3rd liners who have a weak history of scoring.

                      How about if we consider the Union College way of recruiting? Seems to work for them.

                        Same route used by Yale and Quinnipiac. Not much in the line of hope for long-term success. If you think we're rebooting a lot now...

                              Madison has had their fair share of the media/police blowing "riots" out of proportion over the last decade or so (I was there for all those Halloween "riot" years), I don't think you'll get the adoration that you were hoping for with this post.

                                Those Halloween and Mifflin Street Block Party riots were because of out of state people, probably mostly from Minnesota.
