Jankowski needs to play against better competition at this point and if he's not ready for the NCAA right now he shouldn't go there.

My understanding of the situation was that although Jankowski has elite level skills he hasn't had the benefit of elite-level coaching. I think it was Weisbrod that said he doesn't have a good grasp of systems yet, so they wanted him to play a year in the USHL. If he goes straight to the NCAA without having a good grasp of roles and assignments he's all but guaranteed to have lesser playing time, so I agree with this route.
