Grant Besse
Just wondering why the U never went after Besse. He is the best player in the state and would be Mr Hockey this year, if he was a senior. Why didn't Lucia go after him. His son played with him when they were younger. Wisconsin has to be beaming. Big loss for the Goph's

There was a reason I didn't list him (and before Hammy jumps in here, yes, I know, he's a role player and doesn't cost any scholarship money).spectatorfun wrote:Thats right. They have Lou Nanne. My bad
Back to Besse, Lucia has most likely seen him play much, much more over the years than any of us. I'll trust his judgment on this one.

Wow.....that will go down as the top performance by an individual player in the history of the state tourney.
Congrats GB!

Same judgement that did not recruit Ryan McDougah and Jake Gardiner, and you trust him?xy wrote:There was a reason I didn't list him (and before Hammy jumps in here, yes, I know, he's a role player and doesn't cost any scholarship money).spectatorfun wrote:Thats right. They have Lou Nanne. My bad

Dugas was going with the percentages on the breakaways. He actually stopped a couple of them, but really there wasn't much he could do.freestyle wrote:Besse had Dugas' number all night long. Dugas went down (and he's short), Besse shot high - goal! Congrats Grant Besse and BSM!
I can splash in the rink puddles!

Unreal performance tonight. Before we get to carried away lets talk about the difference between high school and college or even the elite league. What Grant did tonight is the stuff legends are made of. The hill gets a whole bunch steeper from here on out. This kid is the best pure goal scorer I've seen in a very long time but it will take a lot more to succeed at the next level. I just don't get the U of W commit. Eaves is a defense first guy. I'm not sure this is the best spot for him.
You are right about Eaves. On the other hand if he wants to play beyond college, Eaves will force him to become a more complete player. The NHL likes players from Wis and ND because of the style they play. Look what he did for the development of Jake Gardiner and Derek Stepan. They playing regular in the NHL right out of Wis.keepyourheadup wrote:Unreal performance tonight.

Why do people say he is a floater? He was killing penalties and scored 3 goals. Just cause he is faster and smarter than the other team doesn't make him a floater. He is actually a pretty well rounded player, very strong on his skates. Of course he will have to adjust his game a bit when he gets to college but he will.
