Completely agree. You only take a run at Harper if you miss out on all three of the remaining CHL Big Guns.

Schloss updated the UND transfers article with a quote from Dane:

In conference "rival". Wishing him good luck...same with Jubs though...not when we're playing UST!

Neither of those have been confirmed as of yet.

Forwards (11 of 15): SR - Menghini JR - Croal, Swanson SO - Josephson, Kernan, Reschny, Zakreski, Zellers FR - A.Schultz, B.Schultz, Simpson Defense (6 of 8): SR - JR - Boser, Emery SO - Laurila, Verhoeff FR - Lindberg, MacKenzie Goalies (3 of 3): SR - Sandy JR - SO - Spunar FR - Heil

She's the new REA arena host.

Nice.

I think our major pickups to fill some of these F/D gaps will be announced after the CHL playoffs are over.

Buckberger from DU signs. Still waiting on their other D-stud, Pohlkamp, to sign...but it's coming soon.

Schloss is probably feverishly typing articles, but his fingers are all cramped up from all these portal updates all day.

Maybe he's coming in knowing that he'll be 7th/8th dman, similar to what Jubs was for us this year. That would still be weird coming into the situation playing 22min/gm for ASU to not nearly as much at UND though.

The players found a random party in Vegas the night before the biggest game of the season? This sounds like a gfhockey Judy’s rumor.

That’s weird for UNO, Jubs never played USports. Good luck to Jubs except for when UNO plays UND.

ASU picks up a trio of players. Penn State F Nic Chin-Degraves to ASU x Clarkson D Matthew Mayich (STL 6th) to ASU x Merrimack D Filip Nordberg (OTT 2nd) to ASU x

That was my next thought as well. Harper and Smith are both more offensive, if Smith is confirmed I could see wanting to push back Harper and risk losing him. Having never seen Smith play, I wonder how many of his points are due to DuPont working his magic out there?

Oh my. Gopher fans have been pumping both him and Grimes pretty hard for the last year. Would be crazy if they both de-commit after the coaching change. I'd be fine with him going to DU if that makes one less suitor for DuPont.

Looks like Bushy to BGSU, so he's off the list.

Great news. Just need a few more confirmations and things will start to take shape.

Schlaine from UMD in. wonder if that frees up a spot for Pilgrim to go there.

Yes, for sure. They can talk to them at any point. Littler could elect to stay as well even after he entered the portal.

Haha, probably. Hall from SCSU would be a good pickup for sure. Haven't seen enough of Clark from UMN to know how he'd fit.

Keep in mind that this is the same account that posted that DuPont visited UMN on a day when he for sure wasn't visiting UMN. So not sure if it is trust-worthy at all.

Need four forwards and three dmen. Would be great to fill some of those spots with talented SR/JR portal guys to add experience. Forwards (11 of 15): SR - Menghini JR - Croal, Swanson SO - Josephson, Kernan, Reschny, Zakreski, Zellers FR - A.Schultz, B.Schultz, Simpson Defense (5 of 8): SR - JR - Emery SO - Laurila, Verhoeff FR - Lindberg, MacKenzie Goalies (3 of 3): SR - Sandy JR - SO - Spunar FR - Heil

Same thing with Gordon from MTU last year. Entered the portal, committed to UND, then ended up changing his mind and going back to MTU.

I believe the talk of them being a tight-knit group. Some of these guys are just wanting more playing time and larger roles, which UND couldn't offer due to players already here or lined up. Strath, Littler, and Klee are all drafted guys that will probably be heading to smaller schools where they can play up in the lineup and get more minutes. Both can be true. The talk of them being a good group + players needing to leave for larger roles.
