Ya. Trains with Boisvert too. Oh well these early commits can be hit or miss anyways.

It’s been highly speculated for a while that he was going to end up at BU, so not super surprising. 
 

His brother was supposed to go to BU before deciding to play in the Q.

Casey Mutryn to BC.

Prob just in on Lawrence from today's commits.
I'm more interested to see where Berchild, Beuker, McKamey, Zajic, Bumgarner, and local skilled players like Kuehne/Hale/Johnson end up.  Those are the players we're probably more "in" on than many of today's commits...and probably have better chances at landing (hopefully).

1. Mikey Berchild, F, Excelsior, Minn

2. J.P. Hurlbert, F, Allen, Texas

3. Dayne Beuker, F, Humboldt, Sask./Portland, Ore

4. Luke Schairer, D, Charlotte, N.C. - BU, Hockey East

5. Eli McKamey, F, Cowichan Bay, B.C

By all accounts McKamey hasn’t decided yet about playing NCAA. Read an article on him from May. Sounds like a decision from him won’t happen until after this coming season unless something has changed.

Chartrand to BC…another big get.

They getm young…we see who figures out juniors.

[scpa0305]

Alexander Carmonov to Penn state. Never heard of him…but he’s 6’11” 251. A lot of guys add an inch or two. Not to 6’11” though.

[cberkas]

Western Michigan picks up Chase Trompeter and Dominic Pajkic

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Beuker and Hextall are the remaining ones in the top ten I'm holding out hope for. Berchild would be an incredible coup.

Someday Schloss will end up doing a where are they now? on a five year old Aug 1 list and it'll be interesting to see.

Lots of section 8 and Moorhead kids announced for elite league, some prospects there too no doubt.

Not only Moorhead…there’s a ton of kids from MN with UND/GF ties that are about  2-3 years away. Some of those players are tops in the country….at least at the moment. A lot of things change obviously.

I'm assuming TJ Hale is a gimme given dad (and mom), and uncle, and grandpa. Am I wrong?

Projecting HS juniors is a craps game viewed through a crystal ball on a Ouiji board.

What is the practical state of NIL at this point?  Is there any reliable information on what, if anything, the top collegiate recruits are receiving?

"It feels like in college hockey, it's still relatively in its infancy," said Denver coach David Carle, whose Pioneers face Boston University in Thursday's 4 p.m. semifinal. "You're going to see it maybe be a bigger factor in the coming years. Certainly, money's being thrown around, and you hear rumors of things, but it's hard to say exactly what's true and what's false. It has not yet impacted us in a negative way."

Boston University coach Jay Pandolfo is happy players are receiving the opportunities to make some money while still continuing to develop.

"In hockey, you're not getting the kind of money where it's life-changing, whereas in football and basketball, you probably are," Pandolfo said.

Well we got Dylan James over your pick of Spicer.

And we have a good indication of Jayden Perron’s game who you seemed to ridicule when we didn’t pick up Shaugabay.
