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

The spreadsheet is updated with the recent NLI's.

Someone was watching me update it. Hope they enjoyed that. :P

It doesn't look correct to me. Also remove Almquist.

I have updated that. Let me know what you see wrong. I did not add the players that I haven't seen official signing indications from (Twitter, etc.)

Maybe that is what looks wrong as I don't have Liam Malmquist listed as he hasn't signed his NLI yet.

Edit: De Saint Phalle has committed.

I read he is going to tO$U. No disrespect, but if we're going to lose players, it may as well be Tier 2 Juniors.

looks good now. thank you again for all your hard work on this.

Malmquist isn't until next week, but he would be one of the critical signees I would think.

No worries. Agreed on Malmquist.

I didn’t even remember Cameron Rowe. Was he ever a verbal?

Committed in August. Started by committing to UNO I think and then signed, but was released from NLI with NoDak. He has mediocre stats, was not drafted this last year, but that obviously his story isn't completed yet:

Noah Grannan stats aren't great either. I just don't see these guys and think elite goaltenders....... https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe...4/noah-grannan

Nothing personal directed to them, this is more directed at the coaches....

Grannan just got bumped up onto the NHL Central Scouting mid-term list FWIW....

I have to say I've never been so Meh about NLI day. It's like what's the point who they get if the players can't be trained or coached to be successful in college even if they have NHL potential. I am in a very dark place.

I can't disagree with you. I had hopes as last years freshman had many USHL and former team captains that would help lead this years stallions. That hasn't happened yet. Could still happen, but there hasn't been any signs 1/3 of the way....

I believe there are only 3 NCAA bound/eligible goalies on the list. Grannan(UW) and Commesso(BU) from the NTDP, and Czech, Jakub Dobes(OSU) out of Topeka in the NAHL.

Rowe was the 4th ranked North American goalie in the final rankings last year. Knight(BC) was #1. Number's 2 and 3 were in the CHL so obviously not NCAA eligible.

I don't know why these so called scouts have rated these guys so high -- You'd think they'd be smart enough to check their elite prospects page and see that they suck.

You just know it all, don't you Wisko? LOL! Rowe was 4th ranked and didn't get drafted - I guess you're right, they did watch and decided to stay away. Neither is lighting it up and both are under .900 save % with big GAA. But those stats don't mean anything to the almighty Wisko!

I never said they sucked, just not high end goalies of the caliber we have seen at Wisconsin in the distant past.

No those stats don't mean much of anything. Sv% and GAA are about as useful as +/- in evaluation. Without any context it's meaningless. Do you think Cale Morris would have the same SV% and GAA if he played for UAH as he does playing for ND? But suddenly he would be a bad NCAA goalie? Rumpel went from a 1.96 GAA as a soph to a 3.49 GAA as a senior. Can't believe how he phoned it in the last year. What a lousy goalie he suddenly became.

Only two of the six current NHL goalies the NCAA produced in total over the last 10 years were drafted, so I'm not very worried about that either. I've watched them both play. They are very talented.
