Actually, that leaves Michigan with 9 recruits.  Ryan VanBuskirk was the
tenth.  Ryan signed a contract with the Sarnia Sting of the OHL.  The
Sarnia Sting was actually in Ann Arbor to play a game against the USA
Hockey National Under-18 team just after the contract was signed, but Ryan
was scratched for that game.

The organization is the USA Hockey Under-18 National Development Program.
Forty-Six (I could be off by one or two) 16 & 17 year-olds from all over
the country (including three from Anchorage, AK) are living in Ann Arbor,
going to Ann Arbor High Schools and training with USA Hockey.  This is the
first year of the program, so it is too soon to know if it will benefit
Michigan in terms of recruits.
 
In fact, as John Haeussler noted earlier today, three of the youngsters
have verbally committed to schools, and none of them were Michigan.
