McDonagh & Skille Updates

The Wisconsin State Journal has a pair of articles about the Badgers today. The first indicates that not only has Ryan McDonagh confirmed his commitment to UW, but he will be jumping straight from high school to the Badgers for the 2007-08 season. This article also mentions that Jake Dowell will replace Joe Pavelski & join Jeff Likens as an Assistant Captain, while Andrew Joudrey will wear the "C" this coming season.

The second article runs down the fact that Jack Skille has decided to remain at UW for his Sophomore season. The decision to stay or go was left up to Skille by the Blackhawks, and he ultimately felt he needed at least one more season at UW.
