I watched a bunch of the NTDP, identified some of the players I liked, and wrote a little blurb about them
Also some notes about players I've dug into these past two weeks: Brady Martin, Luca Romano, Caleb Desnoyers, and some others as well

Austin takes a look at draft prospects from the NTDP, highlighting Conrad Fondrk’s playmaking and Charlie Tretheway’s offensive potential. Despite roster changes and early injuries, NTDP’s lineup shows promise, with standouts like Fondrk, Mooney, and Murtagh.
