First of all, I just wanted to apologize to Gandalf for posting this after his awesome preview for today. Especially since It's Derek Stepan day. Anyways, I just wanted to make everyone aware that I've updated the recruit stat sheet website to reflect the changes for the upcoming hockey season.
For reference, here are the updates on committed recruits: Tyler Barnes is now a 2010 recruit, not a 2009 recruit. Michael Mersch is now a 2010 recruit, not a 2011 recruit. Tyler Lapic has moved on from New Prague (HS), to Omaha (USHL). Michael Mersch and Frankie Simonelli have moved up from the NTDP U17 squad to the U18 squad. Matt Paape has moved on from Appleton (HS) to Sioux City (USHL). Cody Strang has moved on from Madison Edgewood (HS) to Youngstown (USHL). Jefferson Dahl was selected in the expansion draft by Youngstown (USHL). Jordan Schmaltz has moved from the Chicago Mission minors to the major squad.
Potential recruits that have been added to the database are: Russell Blaser (Monona Grove), Tim Davison (Green Bay Notre Dame), Matthew Fosdick (Brookfield), Barrett Kaib (US NTDP), Nick Szopinski (Beaver Dam).
If all goes well, the statistics will hopefully be updated weekly.
