On his twitter it shows he is still committed in his bio and he was last active on that a couple days ago. However that doesn’t mean anything I guess.

If Bowen hasn’t signed his letter by now, that would say a lot.

He signed one a couple years ago.

He's probably going to Michigan or Denver, if current trends are any indication.

He’s a 7th round pick, though, not a top-10 selection. No room for him at Michigan.

According to the interwebs, McLaughlin was committed to Penn State once upon a time.

Parted ways in November or something. 
 

… and apparently everyone thought he was going to UMass . Oops.

Yeah....pt/gm 18 year old in the USHL. Decent grab. If you're missing on some higher end prospects these are exactly the types of kids you need to grab.

Not really, if he is a top six center for us, he won’t see ice time!   That’s how I originally read that.

[ChetSteadman]

Kids a beanpole.  Start sucking some Budweisers, man.

Everything I've heard about him today is that he's a budding stud. Late bloomer, left PSU commitment because scouts are loving his game. Had he not gotten picked in the 7th this year, he'd be a second rounder next year. I was told he'll jump right in as a top ender and power play as a rookie.

Might as well head straight to the show.

I mean, maybe he will, but I can assure you they won't have the career you had. That gutty performance that you had in the NLCS against the Mets back in the early 90s is stuff of legend.

Quote

McLaughlin racked up 10 points in his first seven USHL games, and multiple scouts told the Herald that if McLaughlin went undrafted last summer — he was 19 picks away from doing so — he would have been a second- or third-round pick this upcoming year.

So, when McLaughlin dropped his commitment to Penn State and re-opened his recruiting in late October, a fierce recruiting battle ensued.

UND won that battle this week.

McLaughlin, a 6-foot, 165-pound center, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play college hockey for the Fighting Hawks.

"I'm super excited," McLaughlin said. "The visit was unbelievable. I had a really good time getting to know all the coaches. The whole support staff was unbelievable. Hanging out with the team, even though it was a short period, was great. I'm pumped to go."

McLaughlin narrowed his decision down to UND, Minnesota Duluth and UMass. He made campus visits to all three.

Yep...article said 2nd-3rd round projection. That would be B grade range. Again, this is a great get for us. 18 year old pt/gm+ guy in the USHL. Those are the kids we need to bring in.

Agree. And UND won a fierce recruiting battle. Seems like we're on the wrong side of those battles too often.

I’m not sure what your definition of too often is but I’d say we’re on the right side of those battles more often than just about every other program.
