Sacchetti Commits to Gophers

Blogger is all messed up today so I can't get a permalink, but the Gopher Puck Blog is reporting that Virginia-MIB HS forward Nico Sacchetti has committed to Minnesota for the 2008 season. It's a huge recruiting victory for Minnesota over Minnesota-Duluth for one of the Iron Range's best players. It's a tough break for Duluth, as Sacchetti is a local player, and his former Virginia HS teammate Matt Niskanen plays for the 'Dogs. North Dakota was also reportedly in the mix for Sacchetti's services.
