USHL Draft-High School Underclassmen

There are some high school underclassmen that I believe have a chance at being taken in the upcoming USHL draft. They are Nick Roscoe and Justin Johnson from Eau Claire North, and Travis Erstad of Stevens Point. All three players are currently in their Junior year. Other Juniors with a shot at being selected are Pat Johnson and his teammate from Madison Memorial Keegan Meuer. Seth Soley of Eau Claire Memorial and Brock Montpetit are the only high school Sophmores I think may have a chance to be picked, although it is widely believed that Montpetit will join the USNTDP next season, which means teams may steer clear of drafting him if true. Finally, I received an anonymous comment saying Mike Johnson, Goaltender for the Madison Capitols may get some looks, so I intend to follow his fortunes as well on Thursday.
