Probably more still to add

Talk on the Gopher board is that Ratzlaff might still go with football and is a Badger lean if he goes that route. Can't recall if Rosemount is opting out, but I assume that could change whether he plays this year or not...

Ratzlaff previously stated in a news article (see earlier in thread) that he was playing for the Gamblers. Strangely, however, I see that he is listed on the Rosemount football roster. Perhaps that signals a change of heart?

Thanks for the clarification, BP. That makes sense. Being a two sport recruit is already complicated enough to juggle, but the flip-flop with the football season makes things even more difficult. It looks like Rosemount will be losing a good chunk of their talent to the USHL.

“I’m planning on staying in Chicago,” he said this week. “With high school, there’s so much uncertainty about the state tournament, and with an 18-game schedule, I think this is best for me. I’m ready to take the next step. I love it down here, I love the guys, and the coaches are great. So I think it’s best for me to stay in the USHL for the year.”

They could get in 15ish games Oct, play 18-24 games in HS, and then 10-15 games after, Not ideal, but still get in 40-50 games.

My initial response was going to be that the Tier 3 has legal adults (18+) playing, but that isn't necessarily true. They have 16 and 17 year old kids playing as well.

Chicago’s roster does not appear to be final yet, and they could have a few given the number of Minnesotans on the roster. Still, this is a fairly low number of early departures compared to how many kids were in camps.
