    I've compiled this from a few sources. The years for players enrolling have changed a bit since I have started working on updating the sheet. Right now there are 34 for next season (and 36 for 17-18,) but I would shocked if we didn't see some early departures or players leaving the program.

      The D next year...2 Jr, 3 So, 4 Fr. I'm not sure 3 of the D are even really D1 types guys (Bunz, Stillwell, Berkovitz).

      At some point and time they are just going to have to cull the herd @ F. Obviously this whole theory that they want competition in practice, so they roll out 6 forward lines clearly has not worked. Shuchuk, Cavalinni, Barnes, Keyluk, Laboski....that gets you to 16 F. Maybe McGuire, Ford and Ustaski are the next cut line. Obviously Zimmer and Frederic are playing right away. I could easily see Besse and Kunin leaving.
      I would not be overly worried about Gildon when....errr....I mean if the axe falls. I doubt it is even remotely possible that Gildon has not heard the real loud whispers surrounding Eaves and has made his choice based heavily on factors besides the head coach. I would imagine the school, city, facilities, etc. played a heavy role in his picking UW.

        I think the program is going to rebound quite fast, when the new coach arrives.

        The recruits wouldn't de-commit until the new coach is hired and they view it as a bad fit. Hopefully, the new coach will be a gem.

          Tarek Baker with a 4 pt night against USA 18s tonight in a 5-1 win... 2nd straight game with 4 pts. Frederic with the only goal for USA.

            I always get a chuckle when I see this thread, I'm amazed any recruit woild willingly admit he wants to play for that team. Talk about targeting the lowest common denominator dumbass hockey players!

                I'll be at the Sioux Falls/Dubuque game tonight. I'll take a gander at Vance and Becker and report back.

                  That post from bigblue (****wad) was one of the worst I've seen in years, and don't give Busch Light a bad name. I would say he had his fill of Keystones.

                    Vance is a smooth skating defencemen thats can move the puck up well. Becker is a big forward that has the ability to play well, kinda reminds me of Ustaski.

                    Side note, Keegan Ford got in a scrum last night.

                          Likely he only kind of stones he has available.

                            Any big time recruits we should be in on now that we've hired the Granato bros and Oz?

                              I'm guessing Ty Embersen will be on their radar. I know the Gophers are also recruiting him hard.
