The overrecruiting this is a pretty common occurance in college hockey. Hell, the Gophers let Ryan Walters walk the year after he was a USHL All-Star because there wasnt a spot for him (Granted he was only 18 at the time, despite already having two years of the USHL under his belt)Tenoverpar wrote:Has anyone considered that UMASS overcommited to players...that they had offers out to 10 kids (verbal) and only ended up having 6 slots for incoming players, thus leaving them with having to figure out who's coming and who's not, who's going to juniors and who isn't. Perhaps there's alot more to the story than any of us know. Who knows what the acceptance standards are at UMASS? Every single year kids who were early commits suddenly become "available" the spring before they are supposed to play for Ivy's and other private schools with very high admission standards, why? Because they can't get into the school regardless of talent. I'm not saying that's the case in Wahlin, I'm saying it happens regularly.

Not according to this...Lecroixwhl wrote:Edquist? Don't think he's going to NTDP?

Of course, this list used to include Riley Tufte, but apparently that was premature so they pulled him off.

Pretty standard to move kids in and out for injury replacement and the like. Unlike D1 or the pros, the NTDP tries not to roster kids it doesn't plan on playing. So, when the inevitable injury occurs, they just grab a kid from HS or midgets to fill in. Instead of bringing in the same kid time and again, they grab different kids from different areas to try them out.Bluewhitefan wrote:No Bellows? Tufte? Wait?
This year's roster shows 15 Fs and 12 Ds were on the roster at various times.
So, the good news is, Bellows, Tufte, or Wait may still get a chance to skate with Team USA without ditching their respective HS teams. A win-win!

Someone labeled Dave Aus tweeted that Tufte is returning to the Bengals next year. Leads me to believe Tufte was offered a spot and declined.The Exiled One wrote:Not according to this...Lecroixwhl wrote:Edquist? Don't think he's going to NTDP?

Looks like they tendered 3 goalies in the last week...not so fast on Ahrens not being back for Wayzata
Re: f
That is interesting. Looking further at it they Tender 4 on top of Ahrens - all for this coming season - Wonder how that works out...Tenoverpar wrote:Looks like they tendered 3 goalies in the last week...not so fast on Ahrens not being back for Wayzata
