    It's not dead...but he doesn't hold a UW offer right now.

      It would be nice to garner a verbal from a 2013 dman that has the flexibility of coming a year earlier in a bind. McCabe despite his injury has a chance to be a fairly high draft pick which always has the potential to shorten a college career (you would think that with the way Eaves has churned out quality NHL dman that need little AHL seasoning that that would not be a problem...but you get some varying opinoins on prospect development where some teams have different ideas then college).

        You mean, in addition to Tim Davison? Because what you described is exactly what he is. A 2013 recruit that could come in next year if needed.

          Options are always good

            Really nice weekend for some recruits. Nic Kerdiles had 5 goals in 3 games for Team USA at the U18 Four Nations Cup, leading Team USA to a gold medal.

            Morgan Zulinick was invited to the CJHL top prospects game and had a goal yesterday.

              Maybe a hidden gem up his sleeve, that hasn't been able to commit just yet?

                I doubt he would lie and tell our local reporter he's done recruiting 2012 just to say it.

                  Did anyone notice any recruits in attendance this weekend?

                    He could be done "recruiting", but if some stud D calls him up and says I want to play for you, surely he could oblige the young lad.

                      The problem is, those simply aren't out there at this point.

                      There is one player who fits that bill, and that's Seth Jones from the NTDP who (if he goes to college) would be the #1 recruit in the country. But i don't think anyone expects him to play college hockey. He's projected to go possibly #1 in the draft in 2013 and the general consensus is that he'll go to the WHL after this year.

                      Sure, if he wanted to come...Eaves would take him. Other then that I don't know. Wittchow is probably the #2 available defenseman and Eaves (at this point) hasn't made him a scholarship offer for next season, knowing full well the kid is a Badger fan.

                      Another available defenseman is probably Joey Fiala from Verona, another kid that would love to be a Badger but hasn't gotten a sniff from UW lately. FWIW if anyone is interested he's looking at a bunch of Ivy schools like Cornell right now after decommitting from Western Michigan.

                        Interesting comment from Eaves in his weekly press conference. He was asked if he's received the 3 signed LOI's yet, but said he's only gotten two back. He grinned when he said "when you're dealing with billet families and Canadian mail, things get hectic."

                        So it sounds like Kerdiles and Schulze have theirs in, and they are waiting on Zulinick. Should be a press release this week hopefully.

                              It took a week and a half for me to get a map in the mail from Dryden Ontario a month ago, I can believe it.
