scpa0305 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 33 minutes ago, Rick said: Yes, that's right. Even back in the 90's, when their fans would use the excuse about older players, it was very close. Some years we'd be older by just a little and other years they'd be older by just a little. Sure on any given year that be the case. My point was that UNDs recruiting strategy has always been a nice blend of blue chips and lower drafted player. They started to go more of the Denver route with a couple high end picks and back filled with over agers. The issue is that if you don’t get the high end kids you’re left with a lot of grinders (unless you find the diamond in the rough). It’s great we’ll be pulling some high end Dmen this coming year. I wish we would have hit on some forwards. Weatherby/Hain could surprise though, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scpa0305 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Nice get, probably more of a 4 year player but at least it’s a commitment and a familiar name. He’s done some damage in the Wisconsin prep circuit. Hopefully he goes to juniors....penticton would be a nice spot for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on Penticton, then he could play with some future teammates, including Rizzo. Random question...is Taylor Ward on Penticton Dixon's son? If so, how the heck does Omaha keep getting these Sioux kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict problems in astronomy (will call Pluto a planet), computer science (still can't decide between AOL and CompuServe), geography (will struggle with TWO Dakotas, Burma/Myanmar, Zaire/Congo, Siam/Thailand among others), biology (confident there are only two human genders and that the mysterious structure of genetic material will soon be discovered), nutrition (thinks there are still only four food groups as well as a food pyramid), law/civics (doesn't realize that neither the 18th Amendment nor the Code of Hammurabi still applies), political science (committed to the sanctity and durability of civility and the two-party system), math ("What do you mean there's a new math?"), economics (thinks Enron is a solid investment), marketing (absolutely convinced that Pepsi Clear will catch on), TV/film (looking forward to that Weinstein/Cosby rom.com collaboration), and US history (eager for Geraldo to open Al Capone's vault to see what riches it contains). He will, however, ace both "Survey of Obsolete Textiles and Garments" and "Navigating Native American/White Relations in the early 21st Century."

siouxfan512 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Sounds like Schmaltz had a conversation with Duluth and Denver as well. I'm surprised Monty was willing to talk to anyone with the last name Schmaltz, but maybe he just doesn't want to get burned by another one in the Frozen Four. Anyone know how talented this kid is compared to the other Schmaltz boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, he wouldn’t be close to the level as nick and Jordan were, at the same age. Jake played Wisconsin high school last year as a junior. Nick played in the ushl as a sophomore and Jordan played his junior and senior seasons in the Ushl. Both Nick and Jordan played Tier 1 for the Chicago Mission prior to heading to the ushl. In any case, Jake did put up some nice numbers. Hopefully Jake starts training with his cousins in the summers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
