Minnesota State has one more player committed, but it's possible he won't sign until the April signing period. That is:
Teddy Bluegar, Shattuck-St. Mary's — One recruiting website lists him as a possible 2013 recruit, but he's off to a fantastic start to this season and seems like a big-timer. A native of Riga, Latvia, who has been living in the U.S. since he was 15 (he's currently 17), he had eight goals and 18 assists for Shattuck's team playing in the Midwest High School Elite League this fall. Here is a story on him from last weekend's Bauer NIT in New Hope.

I hope Bluegar is not getting cold feet with MSU transitioning into an inferior conference. He could be the cream of the incoming crop.
C'mon Teddy! The Mavs need you!
Having said that, the two kids from the BCHL should be some quality recruits too. And I know Stephon Williams is going to be good. Got the chance to see him play a few times in Sioux Falls last season. He's for real.
Don't read anything into the fact that he's not on today's list. No conspiracies here. He was originally considered a 2013 recruit, which would mean it would be a year before he signs. But I'm guessing he signs in April.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. Makes sense now.
