Sounds as if Ostrow and Bozak are prime time players. Are they expected to make an immediate impact at the college level much like last year's DU freshmen class?

No question.

Ostrow is a highly sought after recruit who should be drafted in the NHL draft. I'd liken him to Rakhshani, but perhaps with better hands and puck awareness. Raks is probably a better skater.

Bozak is 21 years old and will be expected to step in and score from the get go.

No question this is the best set of forwards that DU has recruited in the past 30-40 years.

Gregorie and Martin are also going to have big seasons next year.

I think that we can also reasonably expect that Raks, Ruesegger & Trotter's numbers will go up by 10-20% as well.

Five years ago, DU might have only landed one of these guys and been estatic.
