Jeff Cox who scouts and writes for SBNation called Fletcher's style of play perfect for Rand Pecknold's system. He tweeted the following yesterday.

He's likely to arrive in Hamden either in 2019 or 2020. Fletcher is the 4th 2001 to commit to Quinnipiac following defenseman Nicholas Kent (Delta Hockey Academy), defenseman Domenick Fensore (Jr. Islanders U16) and forward Ethan Phillips (Selects Academy 15U). Quinnipiac has been busy on the recruiting trail in the last five weeks scoring verbals from five players. The program currently has 8 verbal commitments from players born from the year 2000 or later.
