i don't see any recruits on the post above yours for New Hampshire, yet you indicate there are 2 commitments. Any ideas?
Sorry - totals here report where recruits are from "thier home state" not the school. You can see detail for recruits by school here.

It is too bad MN has such a talented 2011 Class. There seem to be many girls who are underrated out there and are not being looked at by scouts because they are not the star player.
Yes Bona is a top National Player. If you look at girls playing with the Ice Cats or the JR Whitecaps there are still some very good players who have not yet committed but have D1 talent (IMHO)

Holy smokes, it's August before their Senior year--give 'em a chance. It's not neccessary for them to be committed to a school at this point. In fact, being committed at this time of the year, even as recently as 2009, was the exception, not the rule.
I know for a fact that Rachel has many opportunities. I'm sure she wants to visit schools before she decides. Which I would think all would want to do.
She is a great player and will surely play D1 hockey.

That wont really be there decision. the college will take the player that fits the needs. 2 for 1 isn't really a reality unless it is a school hard up for players.

Huh? You're saying a kid who hasn't started her junior year in high school yet is "committed" to a college and the college is "committed" to her?
Is that crazy or am I mistaken?
Compared to Saturday's games, there were not as many coaches at the championship game. In this case the championship did not matter as much except to the girls playing. Congrats to the Ice Cats, but I think it did not determine any college offers. Give credit where it is due, they must have seen something before that game.....
