COMMITTED UND Recruits

Yes, that's right.  Even back in the 90's, when their fans would use the excuse about older players, it was very close.  Some years we'd be older by just a little and other years they'd be older by just a little.

Sure on any given year that be the case.  My point was that UNDs recruiting strategy has always been a nice blend of blue chips and lower drafted player. They started to go more of the Denver route with a couple high end picks and back filled with over agers. The issue is that if you don’t get the high end kids you’re left with a lot of grinders (unless you find the diamond in the rough).  It’s great we’ll be pulling some high end Dmen this coming year.  I wish we would have hit on some forwards.  Weatherby/Hain could surprise though, you never know.

Nice get, probably more of a 4 year player but at least it’s a commitment and a familiar name.  He’s done some damage in the Wisconsin prep circuit.  Hopefully he goes to juniors....penticton would be a nice spot for him.

Agreed on Penticton, then he could play with some future teammates, including Rizzo.  :)

Random question...is Taylor Ward on Penticton Dixon's son?  If so, how the heck does Omaha keep getting these Sioux kids?

Yes.

Might as well steal him away, since everyone else is. :D

Welcome Jake!

Don't look now but he said #fightingsioux *gasp* lol

He's gonna need a tutor.

I predict problems in astronomy (will call Pluto a planet), computer science (still can't decide between AOL and CompuServe), geography (will struggle with TWO Dakotas, Burma/Myanmar, Zaire/Congo, Siam/Thailand among others), biology (confident there are only two human genders and that the mysterious structure of genetic material will soon be discovered), nutrition (thinks there are still only four food groups as well as a food pyramid), law/civics (doesn't realize that neither the 18th Amendment nor the Code of Hammurabi still applies), political science (committed to the sanctity and durability of civility and the two-party system), math ("What do you mean there's a new math?"), economics (thinks Enron is a solid investment), marketing (absolutely convinced that Pepsi Clear will catch on), TV/film (looking forward to that Weinstein/Cosby rom.com collaboration), and US history (eager for Geraldo to open Al Capone's vault to see what riches it contains).

He will, however, ace both "Survey of Obsolete Textiles and Garments" and "Navigating Native American/White Relations in the early 21st Century."

Yeah he is.  Taylor never really did anything until this year (as an over ager).  Committed while blais was at the helm

Sounds like Schmaltz had a conversation with Duluth and Denver as well. I'm surprised Monty was willing to talk to anyone with the last name Schmaltz, but maybe he just doesn't want to get burned by another one in the Frozen Four. Anyone know how talented this kid is compared to the other Schmaltz boys?

Hockey is a funny game, players can peak late.  But no, he wouldn’t be close to the level as nick and Jordan were, at the same age. Jake played Wisconsin high school last year as a junior.  Nick played in the ushl as a sophomore and Jordan played his junior and senior seasons in the Ushl.  Both Nick and Jordan played Tier 1 for the Chicago Mission prior to heading to the ushl.  In any case, Jake did put up some nice numbers.  Hopefully Jake starts training with his cousins in the summers.

He definitely has some tools around him to continue improving his game. The priority here should be getting another Schmaltz to make Monty cry.

According to Schloss’s article, he is going to be a junior this year and looking to play in the USHL.
