Yeah. He’ll get heavy pressure to sign with his drafted team if he keeps progressing, so hopefully he still ends up here if he’s still a stud in 4 years.
14 years old? Wowzers, had to get his commitment in before the rules change.
Didn't realize he had been drafted that high in the WHL. Odds that he ever makes it to campus?
I can't wait for these three to get on campus. I see them being great college players that all stick around for 3-4 years.
Put them all on the same line and you get the next Pony Express line of Rizzo (Trupp), Blaisdell (Frattin), and Caulfield (Malone).
I see SCSU dipping quite a bit from their season this year after their losses and graduating seniors. I see a trio of UND, DU, and UMD (in any order) ahead of the rest of the pack.
With all his injuries, I think they wanted him to have another year in juniors. The Michaud decision might have sealed the deal.
Who knows. Hopefully when he comes in next year (20/21), he's ready to contribute right away. He probably would have this year though too.
Jost is the exception though. We've had plenty stick around for another 1-2 years after they've already had offers to leave. Oshie, Toews, Boeser, etc come to mind.
Don't forget Joe Finley either.
