Sioux Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Probably going to get flamed for this but.... What's keeping Davidson from being another Todd Alexander? He may very well not crack the lineup at all this season and, seeing that how many quality recruits we have coming in, take up that hockey schollie at U. of Windsor. thats possible too. the same things were said of bishop when he came in...how he was such a quality guy in every department. which he was, but he was not happy sitting. davidson said he knows he will have to earn time, but it may come pretty late with the classes that are coming in now.

The Sicatoka Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Given we now have six names: Trupp, Frattin, Malone, Davidson, Marto, LaPoint - Which handed do these guys shoot? - What jersey number is each projected to wear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No flame, but as an optimist, what is keeping Davidson from being another Matt Henderson or the one they tried to compare him with Dustin Penner. You never know. As a recruited walk-on, we aren't losing anything by giving him a shot. His coach obviously thinks he has made tremendous strides, and our coaches seem to feel the same.

It's always nice to have someone that can kick the $hit out of one of Jutting's cheap no talent hacks at the end of a game, while resting (protecting) your top lines. My guess is that if he has the patience, he could be a key contributer in 2009 when the Sioux will need experienced forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 With regard to Davidson, Prpich was a late recruit as well during the summer of '02. That turned out okay. Not saying that the same will be true for Davidson, but I'll error on the optimistic side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Ranger Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Jake Marto L Derrick LaPoint L Brad Malone R Evan Trupp L Matt Frattin R Brent Davidson R Malone is a left handed shot not right. I believe the rest are correct though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that the same will be true for Davidson, but I'll error on the optimistic side. exactly, he is a low risk walk on player that every team needs but if they do suprise some people you have a good thing with another solid player to rootate in.

tnt Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Are they saving # 9 for David Toews next year, or would he choose a different # than his brother like Zach Jones did? I know he is #10 at Shattuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is #10 at Shattuck. I was a little surprised that Trupp didn't take #9 because I believe that was his number last year. I would assume they wouldn't save a number for someone coming in next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know. As a recruited walk-on, we aren't losing anything by giving him a shot. His coach obviously thinks he has made tremendous strides, and our coaches seem to feel the same. True enough, but.... Todd Alexander wasn't a poor player and I don't expect Davidson to be that bad either. I just think he's going to go through the year, learn a lot, work hard and at the end of the year (meaning season) decide what is best for him. If he turns into a Prpich or Henderson, GREAT! But I am saying that if things don't exactly pan out, I dont think he'll be another Martens, Foyt, or Marvin and simply stick around for the odd chance to chip in. He will be 21 in december.

True, he will do what's best for him, but it can't hurt having Genoway as one of his good friends. While I know Oshie doesn't have to worry about playing time, I think that many players can just enjoy college and being on a very good team. Whether he is one of those people or not, only time will tell, but if he does decide to leave, I doubt that he would be a player that we would be relying on heavily anyway, so we just bring in another person willing to work their butt off to try and don the Sioux jersey. Just like with the U of M, I like the fact that players dream about putting on our uniform and will give it their best shot, even if in the end it doesn't work out.

I thought he was being brought in on scholarship. Now I heard it phrased exactly like that. I doubt it is a full year scholarship, but still a scholarship no less.

Schlossman's blog originally said something about a scholarship but I think the notes at the end of his story in the Herald today (about ties) corrects that.
