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

    Zach Urdahl from Eau Claire, visited last weekend.

    "Forward Zach Urdahl, a junior at Eau Claire North, made a recruiting visit to the Badgers over the weekend. He had 17 goals and 41 points in 27 high school games last season and has six points in 12 games this season for Team Wisconsin in the Upper Midwest High School Elite League."

    Any thoughts on the lad?

      My thoughts are Urdahl from Eau Claire is oddly close to Dahl from Eau Claire, and that worked out pretty good. Have to have some 4 year players to go with the 1-2 year guys and that's where Urdahl seems to fall at the moment. He needs to put on some weight and work on his game this year and with the Lincoln Stars in the future. Maybe he blooms into a star. I think you're mostly just hoping to hit on a kid that has the mental chops to play the game at a high level, and if so, any skills/physical short-comings can often be overcome through hard work.

        Jefferson was a a solid college player. He has tore up the ECHL the last few years, great for him.

          Just fyi, he actually de-committed from Omaha. Brad Schlossman mentioned Rowe re-opening his recruitment in a blog post on 9/20.

              Ooohhhh...... Hey kid, guess what traditionally prominent program has major questions to be answered in goal?

                Granted Spencer Knight is really good in goal, but Cameron Rowe's numbers by comparison have been quite a lot worse. With the 17's - .882/3.64ga vs. Knight's .915/2.55ga. So far in just 4 games each (so probably pretty unfair) Knight is .955/1.33ga vs. Rowe's .855/3.64ga. That isn't to say Rowe isn't good, he wouldn't be at USNTDP if he was a bum.

                I'd say all in all, we could definitely use more Cam's though. Cam Rowe could absolutely come along and be a Badger with Cam York.

                      The fact that he's playing for the Sue tells us he probably couldn't get into UW anyway.

                        Rowe committed just two days after another goalie committed of same birth year.

                          He'll probably apply early decision to UND and keep UW on his safety school list in case it doesn't work out.

                            Any kid with a brilliant plan like that has clearly made the right decision in selecting UND.

                            I note that UW isn't on the list of other schools considered. To bring in Rowe next year means that you'd have to jettison Berry or Lebedeff. I don't think you really want to dump Jack at this point, and clearly the staff sees something they like in Lebedeff. Right now they've got Grannan lined up to replace Jack after next year, so maybe they feel ok with where they're at in goal for the time being? Cam York is still the real sweepstakes prize and the Badgers would have a place for him next year if they wanted to make one. Make it happen!

                            Elsewhere, I see Alex Turcotte has been out with an injury the last 6 NTDP games, but it's rumored he'll possibly return to the lineup this weekend.

                            Tri City Storm has 4 D out with injuries including Luke LaMaster who has yet to make an appearance for them this year. Not sure what kind of injury he has though.

                            Future Canadian Club superstar Dylan Holloway has 5-15-20pts in his first 12 games for the Oktok Oilers of the AJHL. Pretty good start for the just-turned-17 year old.

                                As much as he would have been a great get, I think we have our next #1 goalie lined up after Berry and Lebedeff in Grannan.

                                To be honest, I think goalie coach is a much bigger need at the moment.
