In a surprise move, Massachusetts native Cole Eiserman (★★★★½) has committed to Minnesota for 2024.
Eiserman is one of the top players in his age group. We had the 6-foot-0 forward ranked No. 7 in our 2006 Top 300 National Rankings.
Eiserman is slated to play for the U.S. NTDP U17 team this upcoming season. In 53 games with Shattuck last year he had 56 goals and 30 assists for 86 points. Prior to the Aug. 1 opening of his recruitment, word on the street was that Boston University was the front-runner for the Newburyport, Mass. native.
“He reacts very quickly and pounces on opportunities to score goals when teammates set him up,” scouts said. “He finished on a breakaway with a decisive move. Consistent level of effort in all games and a high percentage shooter.”
Eiserman becomes the second 4.5-star player to commit to Minnesota in recent weeks, following the commitment of defenseman John Whipple (★★★★½) not long after the Aug. 1 recruiting period opened.
