Newhook played on one of the best teams in the country. I really don't regard his point totals in the way some are. He was somewhere in the Caufield, Zegras, Newhook pack for the three best freshmen, but he wasn't the clear best, as the point totals would indicate.
And I'm not even disagreeing with what you're saying about Turcotte or Boldy, but I think Turcotte's year, like Boldy's, is better explained using context. Both players had great stretches where they played like you'd expect of players of their caliber, and then stretches where they didn't. But there's further context, like the caliber of team, reasons why they didn't play as well in certain stretches. The point of what I was saying about Wisconsin was that Turcotte actually was one of their standouts, despite clearly having a disappointing season.
