The Rivals.com article was quite interesting. Seems like Didier really wants to come to DU, which in this day and age is almost as important as receiving the commitment itself.
Almost every DU recruit will be heavily recruited by the Major Junior teams in Canada after they commit to DU. They will be offered "education packages" cash and or cars.
Didier will be playing for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, the same team that Matt Donovan and Paul Phillips played for before DU.
