The University of Wisconsin men's hockey team continues to stock up on oral commitments before a new NCAA rule goes into effect Wednesday.

Minnesota forward Dylan Godbout, who turns 15 on Sunday, was the latest to deliver one, announcing Tuesday that he had made a pledge to the Badgers.

The development came one day before the effective date of an NCAA rule that prohibits coaches from having recruiting conversations with prospects before Jan. 1 of their 10th-grade year and delays oral scholarship offers until Aug. 1 before their 11th-grade year.

Godbout is finishing ninth grade at Hill-Murray School in the Twin Cities.

"I really wanted to commit just to make sure I'm locked up with Wisconsin," he said.

Quebec defenseman Tristan Luneau, 15, announced his commitment to the Badgers on Monday.

Godbout cited a comfort with the Badgers and associate head coach Mark Strobel, a Hill-Murray alum who coached him in youth hockey.
