Hopefully he is a dman, or else his numbers wouldn’t be all that impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, defense is what Schlossman said. We have a lot of defense lined up around that timeframe. To be honest, I hope there are two with the same name, and we got the one who wasn’t part of that debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 https://www.honeybakedhockey.com/commits His team last year (HoneyBaked) has him as a defenseman Listed as defenseman here as well http://hphl.stats.pointstreak.com/playerpage.html?playerid=10338927&seasonid=17177 It does appear he played defense last year, possibly a converted forward, which is why he’s listed as a Forward in a bunch of places. Definitely appears to be a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Knowing he's a decommit from Miami, why not look at what a decent source like Heisenberg has: Mitchell Miller-LW 05-01-18 2020 Detroit Honeybaked U16 6' 190 12-20-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 NZ’s tweet when he committed to Miami mentioned he could play both forward and defense. I think it’s pretty clear, based on the position he played last year, that he’s a converted forward that this past year & moving forward will be a defenseman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s still young, has time to improve that rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last season I’d like our coaches to get aggressive with recruiting. All the big schools do it (obviously), if we sit back and rest on the fact we have the Ralph we’ll slowly start getting toasted. Other schools are starting to get great facilities as well....and they have the ‘name factor’ as well. Get rid of that GA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Jake Schmaltz a 3.75 Star recruit. That’s as low as I can remember. Do we have any other sub 4 recruits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinto’s a 3.75 as well Pinto seemed to have a really good year, will be interesting to see how he does in Lincoln (if that’s where he plays), could turn out to be a really nice find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I don't know if it was mentioned, but Miller was a member of the US Under-17 Men's Select Team for the 5 nations tournament. Which is the team that's picked after the Select 16 Player Development Camp. Looks like he was on the top D-pair all tournament with Minnesota recruit Koster. Basically, the best players not in the Development program (01' year). Played in two games with Cedar Rapids (USHL) in what would have been his Sophomore year PPG in High Performance League (Top Midget League U-16) - One of only 8 players that played 15+ games that was PPG (Only D-man) Since he's such a late '01, when talking his class, I'd say he's one of the elite D-man in the country for the '20 class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take alot of NZ reports with a little more than a grain of salt. Alot of these kids are rated on 1 or 2 games. An off night, injury, etc... and a kid can end with a lower score. I think Berry & Co. know what they are getting and what role these kids will play much more than some schmuck from NZ after watching for a night or two. Just my opinion. Of course, the 4.5 & 5 star players are a can't miss that anyone with an untrained eye could call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranking do go up and down over time. It appears to be materially correct in almost all cases though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it’s a teachable moment. Rather than crucify the kid, I’m sure the coaches will turn it into a positive learning experience for him.

Still kind of shocked that Kunz didn’t make it. Even with the MN kids who didn’t accept the invite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
