#1Hakfan Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I made a post last spring talking about how Wiscosins numbers didn't add up. They were bringing in to many Dmen. This proves it. This was a big loss because he would have been a great player by the end of his sophmore year and would have been a stud as a juniors & senior, kind of like Smaby. He was recruited by everyone.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Aw I hate to see such terrible things happen to Bucky. Seriously, a really tough loss as they could quickly change from contenders to wannabes as their senior D and Elliot graduate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrkac Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ahhhh... and he didn't even get to experience a hotel-room confrontation from the coach after a bad night at the Ralph.

Chuck Schwartz Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I made a post last spring talking about how Wiscosins numbers didn't add up. They were bringing in to many Dmen. This proves it. This was a big loss because he would have been a great player by the end of his sophmore year and would have been a stud as a juniors & senior, kind of like Smaby. He was recruited by everyone. Wisconsin only had 8 defenseman on the roster this season. How does Williams leaving right now prove anything about bringing in too many defensemen? Numbers of defensemen for other teams in the league? North Dakota-7.5 (Genoway is .5) Minnesota-8 St. Cloud-10 CC-9 Denver-8 Tech-7 UMD-9 AA-9 MSU-7 Even next year with Williams Wisconsin would have only had 9, which at least 4 teams out of 9 in the league obviously excluding wisconsin already have.

redwing77 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Shocking that he left UW but it also sheds a lot of light on attitude. Nigel probably thought he was going to come in and be a central figure on the blue line right away. Well, better his wakeup call come at UW than at NHL. I wonder if this is the reason why his draft stock fell from being a mid first round projection to getting drafted in the middle of the 2nd round?
