How many players in the last three years have we lost because they were asked to wait another year before coming to UND?

Off the top of my head, Dunbar, Spicer, Morrow, Halliday.

Is this about normal or because of 5th year seniors.

[SIOUXELEVENS]

This was going on before the fifth year deal.

I would say it's about normal. I wondered if I should have included Halliday (since he did stay an extra year in Juniors), like Bowen did, although both decommitted and ended up elsewhere. We'll see if Dunbar plays at a school next year or is in that same camp (i.e. decommits because they get pushed off a year but end up playing Juniors again anyway).

None of these players that played in this tourney are being "delayed" in their arrival to UND.  Swanson is a new commit, and I believe he is the youngest (or one of the youngest) that was on this team, which is why he is a couple of years out from arrival on campus.  Strathmann and Livanavage are on schedule.  Some players development does not progress due to a number of conditions, but these three are on the schedule.

Mac Swanson was the youngest on the USA WJAC team.

At 5-foot-9, the knock on Jayden is his size, but he knocks back with his skating, hands and intelligence. Garman says Jayden is comparable to former Steel forward and current Fighting Hawk Jackson Blake in terms of their hockey IQ. But there is a difference.

“Blake knew what you were going to do before you did,” Garman said. “I feel like he was always ahead of you. I would say Jayden not only has that ability, but can also manipulate the defensive player because he’s so creative and elusive. And he’s incredibly young. A first-year draft player to have that poise and confidence is pretty exceptional.”

Thank you for the good analysis.

Would be a nice surprise to have him coming in on a high note. Help the confidence for sure.

I would be blown away if he ends up on campus. He’s going to end up playing Can U sport 

[SIOUXELEVENS]

2 goals tonight for singleton , 5 points in two games.

Nice!

Hopefully all he needed was a change of scenery and can keep it up.

[SIOUXELEVENS]

Let’s hope so !

Yeah, kind of unfortunate but the best 13 year olds aren’t always the best 18/19/20 yr olds. I think we’re going to see more of this. Couple of our commits have fallen off a bit. On the flip side..kids like Mike Emerson get picked up. Win win sort of. When kids commit it goes both ways, they get a shot but they must keep developing.

Anyone have any insight on Jaksen Panzer’s status? I see that he hasn’t been in the Sioux Falls lineup since December 10th. Injury?

Yes, he’s listed as injured on a recent line chart.

UND commit Sacha Boisvert notched his first USHL hat trick over the weekend, scoring three times against the U.S. Under-17 Team. Boisvert now has nine goals and 15 points in 22 games for Muskegon. Those are excellent totals for a 2006-born player in the league. The top two 2006-born scorers in the USHL are both UND commits — Mac Swanson (27 points) and Boisvert.

Pretty excited about these two. Both highly skilled, Boisvert obviously a bigger kid. Swanson plays on a much better line. Should be fun watching these guys in a couple years.
