    Yes, it's been expected. Thanks diddlypoo for pulling out that quote.

USHL squads must feel the same way because that's the only reason that Wood could have been passed over."

Nick Schmaltz, like his brother is a one of the top 10 kids in the United States for his age group. I would hope the coaching staff pursued a kid living in Verona who has a NTDP offer a full year in advance of him actually going, which means you're pretty freaking good...even if it was likely he would follow his brother to UND.
        I would think Eaves did little more then kick the tires on the younger Schmaltz. I've run across the family at hockey tournaments (there's another younger brother that is 10 who is also exceptional), and there is no mystery with whom the family allegiance lies. Little has changed at UW since the oldest decommitted and cast his lot with the Sue that would suddenly put Bucky in a different light. I also believe there is a family history to North Dakota...perhaps football related with dad or an uncle???

          His dad and uncle both played football at UND.

          And all I was trying to say is that I would hope Eaves at least did his homework on the kid to gauge his interest, and that he would at least check out the situation for one of the best kids in the country in his own backyard despite his brothers decision.

          I would be interested to hear if Blake Kessel ever received a UW offer.

            Interesting article floating around from May 26th (found it thanks to this awesome blog) about the Windsor Spitfires (who own Will Butcher's rights) actively pursuing the defenseman from Sun Prairie. Butcher is locked into the NTDP for the next two seasons but in the article Butcher certainly didn't dismiss the notion of him eventually playing in the OHL.

                Forgot to mention Tyler Heinonen, a Minnesota high school kid who we had interest in (no offer that I know of) committed to Michigan Tech late last week.

                  Sounds like former UW recruit Troy Hesketh will end up at D-3 Hamline, a school in the twin cities according to the Fargo Force beat writer, Ryan Clark.

                        there's no excuse to lose this kid. Schuchuk and Butters (whomever is recruiting) better have their feet held to the fire. this is beginning to become a trend

                          I'm sure Butters and Shuey both are logging extensive time recruiting as is Eaves but certainly this isn't a good loss but like I said on twitter, it's far from the end of the world. Most are already aware that there is another in-state kid in this class who is just as high end with Ian McCoshen. Better land that kid.

                            2 things:

                            1. Ever since Osiecki left you can't recruit D worth a ****! lol....how did that Schmaltz committ work out for you! Nobody wants to play for Eaves without Mark.

                            2. McCoshen is from Huson, WI...which is pretty much MN....there are soo many Hudson people that go to school and work in MN. Ian will look good in a Gophers uniform.

                            Half the people that live in Hudson are Vikings fans...which is unheard of from a drunkin Sconi city. They get all our local channels and the kid probably grew up watching the Mighty "M"

                              Someone had tweeted that on Tuesday, I had retweeted it.

                              Big loss for UW & Chuck is right that they need to land McCoshen now assuming it is going to work for them to do so....

                              UW only has one Senior on the roster and five Juniors, and they have five commitments over the next two years. They are likely spending time recruiting and evaluating 2014-2015 recruits for the most part but it's tough to see an in-state elite D for 2013 go elsewhere. I wonder if it is an issue for UW that Springer graduates after this year and Schultz will almost certainly be gone, and all they have committed for defense is Tim Davison who may be a 2013 recruit as he's not playing Junior hockey this year. If he's not ready and Butcher or McCoshen can't arrive until 2013 when only Ramage graduates, do they have the scholarship money flexibility to bring in a couple guys for 2012 and still bring in 2 or 3 in 2013? I suppose Ryan Little could move back to defense if needed.
