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

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

I wonder how often our coaches contacted him?

I know from experience, Wisco is known for "you come to us" philosophy. Meantime, East Coast School is in Chicago scouting an event...my kiddo also played baseball. They shoot up to watch his baseball game and say hi. Tell me what that means to a 17-18 year old kid.

The rich get richer. If Hughes stays and his brother comes in lookout.

Doubt either of those things happens

Cam York to Michigan

Would have loved to have him, but obviously signing Vorlicky meant we were pretty much out of the running. From our point of view he would have been a great fit at UW because he's likely a one or two year player and it would have given us a huge insurance policy against an early departure before the next couple of star D are ready to step in. But from York's point of view, MI makes a lot of sense. Hughes is certain to depart and York is set to step right into that role of playing 25-30 minutes a game next year. At UW, if Kalynuk and Miller stay, which is more likely then Hughes staying by a good margin, as good as York is, he's not likely to step into that top role right away. So whether we went at him hard or not, MI does have the playing time to all but guarantee him next year. It's a pretty good fit for York.

Even under Granato?

Rumored to have showed up with two black eyes, I would think it was a maturity issue.

A former coach inside the athletic department told me Greenway would go out to the bars and get in fights during the weekdays. So yeah maturity issue.

Not the only kid to ever get into those situations.

Hopefully the change of scenery helps him in the long run.

Reminds me of the Gary Suter and Chris Chelios years (and MANY others), except those boys weren't the ones that came out with "shiners". Almost all of those scuffles were started by punk students with Pabst or Old Style muscles challenging the hockey players; never ended well. I witnessed a few!

I have to admit watching the interview with Oz about the recruits sure has me jacked up. I know him and Brophy were selling lots of red Kool-Aid to disappointed fans, but that's my fav color and I was buy buy buying it.

Last year I posted about his talk at the WHB luncheon before the NoDak series. He's quite the motivational speaker. I wanted to jump up, lace `em up, and skate with the team myself. I just hope this special teams problem is more of a talent glitch than coaching.

He just talked the guys up so much in my mind we're going single loss total for the season next year. And those eyes.....

Future Badgers Ethan Leyh (14-16-30 in 29GP -Langley Rivermen, BCHL) and Dylan Holloway (20-26-46 in 29GP -Okotoks Oilers, AJHL) will both be playing for Team Canada West in the World Junior A Challenge, which kicks off this coming Sunday. Canada West will open up against Team USA Sunday night at 8 CST. Will probably be available streaming somewhere, but I'm not sure where yet.

Leyh putting up a point a game with one more year in the BCHL left to develop is an awesome sign. Holloway's numbers are ridiculous, even for the AJHL. He's the 2nd youngest guy in the top 20. The youngest guy has 39 in 30 and he's going to DU.

As Leyh is draft eligible I'm not sure if he is destined for another year in the BCHL or not...
