My son struck up a conversation with Gersich's grandfather (Broten) during the St. Lawrence series.  He said Shane is all but gone next year.  Apparently he was very close to signing with Washington this off-season, but, ultimately, decided on one last kick at the NCAA can.      

Given the Weatherby commitment yesterday, this would make more sense. I'm all about the #'s, right now we have 5 coming in next year (Forwards) with 5 openings (Gersich, Gornall, Seniors).

Former Holy Family and current Waterloo goaltender Jarred Moe committed to Minnesota. Know the coaching staff was following him pretty closely.

Despite playing fewer games than most, Cruikshank is the leading goal scorer for Penticton, a team loaded with over half the team committed to colleges. He should be a very good pickup for somebody.

Eric Gotz commits to Miami.

Look for Cruikshank and Randklev to commit to the Sioux soon

Has everyone taken a breath now after this week? Lot of nervousness on here about recruitment or the (too early to judge) lack thereof.

Would be excited about the addition of these two.  Cruikshank  put up similar numbers to Nick Jones last year at Penticton. In 57 games he had 32 goals, 21 assists compared to Jones, who had 25 goals, 37 assists in 58 games.

I think they were linemates...

This take is strictly from reading the Wisconsin recruiting thread on USCHO and their thoughts on Cruikshank, but I would be thrilled if he ended up at UND. Sounded like Wisconsin wanted him, but offered him less money than Cruikshank was expecting, so that's why he didn't sign. Scouting report is great skater that can score.

Is Randklev playing with Moorhead high again this year?

That seems odd.  He's a WI resident, so tuition and fees are only about 10,500 per year, so he's not an expensive scholarship, even with room and board.  Of course, maybe they didn't put a high enough value on him to offer a full.

Brock Caufield to Wisco. Younger brother mum as of now

Yes, he played 7 games with Fargo this fall and may play with them again after the high school season.

Damn...expected, but still would have been nice.  Won't be long before his bro commits now too.
Welcome to UW...you're Recruit #47 in line!

If his brother puts up big numbers he could end up in the CHL.

Man I would love for the younger more talented brother to commit somewhere else to see if Wisconsin would keep this commitment.

Younger brother committed too now. Watch older brother not get playing time then younger brother spurn them for MJ.

I don't know how people keep track of all these players. I basically come here to familiarize myself with the names. 

[SiouxForever]

UND not landing some of these, I’m not too concerned. We’ll see if some stay the college route. 

UNDs had a great run of landing older recruits that have played well at the college level. 

Frattin, Knight, Cags, Stetcher etc. 

Yes, Brock played a great role in the natty in 2016 and was glad he chose UND. Jost leaving after 1 year, still surprised by that move. 

I’d rather have the commits stay 3 years or more. 

Most young/high draft pick teams don’t win the natty. See BU for example. 

It appears that Wisco will be on that trend next.

These guys are high profile enough that stories show up under my Google news sidebar for "college hockey".

Whenever I hear Jost explain why he decided to leave, I still can’t find his answer lol...

There was an interview that said once he got that contract in front of him & knew he just had to sign to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing in the NHL, he went for it.

So might have been a little spontaneous from the sounds of it.  Regardless, he is a great proponent for UND's program and it was really fun to watch him while he was here.  I wish he would've stayed another year but I wish him the absolute best in his hockey career.
