Shame the college kids couldn't attend prospect camp and don't have much TV exposure. I'm guessing they'd be getting an awful lot more attention otherwise.
Wilson had a great freshman season, but I'm still not sold on his overall potential and how his college success will translate to the NHL. He was also a bit older than most players their freshman season.

I definitely wondering how Hanowski is getting blown away by some of these other forward prospects. He has just as much potential as most of them, more size, and shown a lot more success in the lower leagues and has been a leader for St. Cloud. I'm pretty psyched to hear about him training with that one skating coach this summer. I think he's definitely bound to have one hell of a senior season.
