  • Re: Wisconsin Recruiting: Filling the foundation with 5 stars

    Christian Horn committed to Minnesota for this fall. He had some Wisconsin interest. Solid player, teammate of Besse's at Benilde. Would have been a nice recruit for UW for 2013 but obviously no way UW could have fit him into this recruiting class.

      Final tournament for Nic Kerdiles before coming to Madison and he didn't disappoint. 4g, 5a, 9pts in 6 games at the U18 World Championships, including 2g, 3a, 5pts in gold medal game. Will be an immediate contributor in a top six role next season. First time the Badgers have had a legit top 6 up front since the 2010 Frozen Four run.

        Mentioned this on twitter today but there should be a number of top end Wisconsin kids in Chicago this weekend for the USHL combine for 96 born players. I would presume Anders Bjork (Notre Dame) Luke Davison, Cooper Watson, Brett Gruber, Mason Appleton, Charley Grasskamp, Kyler Pollitt, Ryan Wischow, and Matt Berkovitz to be in attendance as well as possibly some other Wisconsin kids. The USHL futures draft is next week so this is a big weekend for these kids.

        The 1996 class is very deep for the state of Wisconsin. All of the kids mentioned are supposed to be very good prospects and that's not even including Jake Linhart (Wisconsin commit, tendered with Green Bay), Nick Schmaltz (North Dakota commit, going to Green Bay) and Keegan Ford (uncommitted, tendered with Dubuque).

        Since we're talking 96's, don't forget about Seamus Malone, 2015 UW commit who has tendered with Dubuque and is from Illinois.

          Max Gardiner is heading to PSU, what was UW's interest level in the young lad?

            UW was heavily interested in his initial recruitment in high school and from my memory finished runner up to Minnesota at the time. When he decided to transfer I honestly don't know if UW had much interest of even if they could have much interest. Transferring in the conference is rare, although it does happen. I don't have any knowledge but I'd be shocked if a player transferred out of Minnesota and Lucia allowed him to transfer to Wisconsin, especially given that his brother played at UW. Even if he wasn't restricted, UW returns 15 forwards and still has Zulinick and Kerdiles coming in. There wouldn't have been any room.

              Technically, transferring to PSU is an in-conference transfer, but only technically. In looking at his numbers and after reading up a bit, he would not have been some massive upgrade that you couldn't turn away. At this point Eaves seems to have a well balanced group of forwards on the roster for next year.

              Too bad Max didn't come to UW, he would have been in great position to get a ton of ice time last year.

                Pretty sure Lucia blocked Max from transferring within WCHA.

                    That surprises me.

                      They haven't done it before and there is no reason to do it in this case either.

                          I'm surprised he wouldn't block a transfer to another league team. I guess that's pretty common in other NCAA sports.

                            I'm surprised he didn't encourage it with Gardiner.

                              I'm surprised you're surprised. I'm not surprised JDUBBS was 100% wrong.

                                When I'm wrong, I'm man enough to admit it.
