COMMITTED UND Recruits

[UNDBIZ]

Are Wilkie schmaltz Poganski voltin and gersich all playing for the Sioux next year? Is Hak predicting a slew of early departures?

Rodwell and Mitch Mac graduate. I expect Grimaldi to leave early and at least one other to leave due to playing time (neither Chyzyk nor Murphy leaving would surprise me, which is unfortunate because I like Chyzyk and I think Murphy has potential). I expect 1 of those 5 recruits to bolt for CHL (Gersich wouldn't surprise me since he's playing for the US NTDP) or stay another year in USHL (Voltin). That puts us at even.... and if Grimaldi and everybody else does decide to stick around then it sounds like there will be a lot of competition for ice time, which can only make the team better.

All this global attention on him is making me nervous If he goes top ten he's gone. Hope I'm wrong though. He's on the cover of NHL.com right now.

Wouldn't two years here do him really as much good as two years in the majors?

All this concern about Schmaltz (really, any really top recruit these days) reminds me of the old days and Dr. Hook:

When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know it's hard

Everybody wants her, everybody loves her

Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends

When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends

You know that it's crazy, you want to trust her

And then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Maybe it's just an ego problem

Problem is, I've been fooled before

By fair weathered friends and faint hearted lovers

And everytime it happens

It just convinces me more

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies

Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her

That she's the most beautiful woman they know

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

You know what, Dr. Hook would have been a good nickname for Dean Blais!

When Sparky Anderson was managing the Cincinnati Reds he had that nickname (Dr Hook, not Dean Blais ) because of quickly he would remove a starting pitcher.

Schmaltz continues to rip it up.

@chrismpeters@USAHockeyScores, Nick Schmaltz, who has three points tonight and nine at the WJAC, is one away from the U.S. tournament record.

Man, that is impressive.

Who was it a couple weeks ago that said Hakstol hadn't landed a Blue Chip recruit recently?

[hrkac]

@chrismpeters

Nick Schmaltz set a Team USA record with his 10th point of the World Junior A Challenge. He has 4 tonight vs. Switzerland. Still 1 game left

[hrkac]

In the ridiculous department....

@chrismpeters

Nick Schmaltz just scored again. Five points tonight. 11 points total in three games with the third still going. Getting silly now #NHLDraft

[sioux24/7]

Wasn't sure where to put this but just decided to put it in here. Anyways have you guys heard anything about Chris Chelios originally being committed here and then asking out because James Patrick signed here?

[MissSioux85]

Schmaltz, Mantha, and Poganski won Gold with Team USA at the World Junior A Challenge. Schmaltz was named MVP and set a record with 12 points in the tournament.

Rhett Gardner won Bronze with Team Canada West

The way i understood it, Chelios committed on his visit here. However, he still wanted to take a visit to Wisconsin and Gino told him that if he was going to take that visit then Gino would not take the commitment. Chelios went on the visit and that was that.

[tnt]

Tim Hennessey has told the story many times, but thought Chelios committed here then Wisconsin's assistant coach Grant Standbrook made a trip to the families house and he changed his mind. I could be mixing stories and that was another player, but that stands out in my mind.

[tnt]

Heisenberg shows Chartrand as a Duluth commit. Probably will change that soon.

[AZSIOUX]

Poolman with another great weekend or Omaha. Schmaltz just tore it up over seas! That was impressive. Is he still a bit young to be considered for the wjt team? Or will next year be his year along with Mantha Poganski and Gersich possibly?
