Trying to make a comprehensive list of players who decommitted, transfered, went to the CHL (or Europe, like Jordy Murray), or otherwise left without signing a pro contract, starting at the beginning of the eaves era.
Especially with TG’s recent purges, it’ll be a long list.
Any help coming up with names will be great.

There was this gem from ChAndy a few years ago
https://www.buckys5thquarter.com/wis...-decommit-team
Definitely reminded me of a few that I didn’t initially put on there.
Couple more not on your list yet EODS:
Jeff Slinde - Fr. - Did not play after
Tom Bardis - So. - Madison Muskies
Mitch Thompson Jr. -St. Johns U
Spencer Bell Fr. - Did not play after
Kohen Olischefski -decommitted - at DU
Jack Becker- decommitted- at MI
No, it's not just a talent thing. While the leagues certainly aren't as good, there are good players playing NAHL and good players playing High School for reasons other than just talent. Mittlestadt was on the USA HS All American team one year ago. Obviously he's now in the NHL.
Luke Lamaster joined the NAHL Jets, even though the Chicago Steel own his USHL rights. Steel is pretty set with all D-1 Committed or draft prospect D that played all year. Lamaster might not be a fit walking into the playoffs from high school right now with them. Doesn't mean he isn't a good player.
Some more early departures/cuts/ etc. from the roster in Eaves first couple of years:
Chris Julka - Jr. - DNP after
Jeff Yureco - Jr. DNP after (was a transfer in from UND)
Brent Gibson - So. - U of Calgary
Alex Leavitt - So. - Swift Current Broncos WHL (wouldn't fight Eaves)
Jake Heisler - Jr. - DNP after
Joe Campbell- So. - to UW Superior (Calgary Draft pick)
Joe Simon- Jr. - DNP after
Tom Sawatske- So. - to Notre Dame
Ken Rowe - So. - to Army
Luke Kohtala - Jr. - (earned degree in 3 years)
Joe Simon - Jr. - DNP after
Added. It’s remarkable how many players leave.
If anyone wants to be conscripted to help fill in the details, I can share edit permissions on it.
Spencer Bell went to UW to be a student and got invited to practice with the team(I think UW was short-handed at the time for some reason?). He went back to being a student after that one year and ended up graduating from UW. I believe he's in the Air Force now.

Maybe I'm missing something but you just asked me which MSU I go to and then you knew the theme of my homecoming, how do you know one and not the other?
Western College Hockey Blog
New NHL Central Scouting Rankings are out!
NHL Link with rankings and movement
College Hockey Inc Article
College Hockey Inc list - you can sort by team
For Wisconsin there are:
18 - Sampo Ranta (up from 23)
23 - K'Andre Miller (up from 31)
26 - Daniel Lebedeff (up from NR)
42 - Ty Emberson (up from 57)
87 - Jack Gorniak (down from 56)
149 - Cole Krygier (down from 148)
216 - Christian Krygier (down from 159)
So you could bring in six drafted players, potentially four defensemen and two first rounders? Then the next year potentially two top ten picks? Welcome back I guess.
Here’s hoping, Bonin
Lebby is on the list now??
I’d guess Turcotte.
