He is smaller, but that's like saying Johnny hockey doesn't handle physicality well. At that size (5.7) he's going need to use skill and speed. He's playing great so far in the USHL, including the playoff run when he wasn't a top 6 forward. Nearly averaging a point per game. Not a bad start for limited action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90siouxfan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Oh, He is currently 20, I was thinking time was running out, Elite Prospects has him coming in next year, which is obviously wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although 2019/20 class is loaded now, Senden is a defensive forward, so the numbers don't shine like some other recruits. He's a winner and has now captained a HS championship and USHL championship. Coming in a little later won't hurt at all. Reminds me of Connor Gaarder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on numbers a lot of people were thinking that Jackson Keane would be the odd man out, so you never know.

We'll just have to trust their judgement. I guess time will tell how things shake out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no NHL scout, but I've seen Senden play approx 30 games, and never once wondered if he was good enough to play at UND. Would I like to see him score more? Of course, I cheer for the Force and all goals are good goals but there's more to the game than that. For instance, he just won the Tom Clifford Leadership and Dedication Award for last season.

We'll just have to trust their judgement. I guess time will tell how things shake out. A lot can change between this year and next and nobody will disagree that there are factors other than numbers that come into play when bringing a player in. This is all pure speculation and like you said, time will tell. Things I believe: 4 Forward spots available because of graduation (moving Johnson back to defense to cover for Shaw) Nobody jumps out as an early departure Wrote about the 4 Forwards who will be True Freshman (Rizzo, Blaisdell, Mancinelli, Caulfield) all with two years of junior experience. Given how they did as 16 year olds in juniors, Rizzo, Mancinelli & Blaisdell will all increase their totals significantly this year, that's a guarantee, barring injury. Caulfield will probably keep his point total steady. These are all high end guys who will have played two years in juniors. Is the coaching staff going to risk losing anyone of those 4 by pushing them back another year? I don't think so. Those 4 forwards take up the four Senior spots, now you still need room for Randklev as well. If Donovan goes high in the draft (possibility), it's possible we could have another JBD situation. It's the summer, so it's fun to speculate. You need a mix of players, but when push comes to shove, I don't see the coaching staff losing out on a potential high end forward by making them wait, to make room for Senden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a big stats guy. Always have been and I get fascinated with how players stats trend from one league to another (as they age). I have followed senden relatively closely and I can tell you there’s most likely a good reason why the coaches wanted him to go back another year. The ushl is a very tough league however senden can clearly use another year to continue to develop more on the offensive side of the puck. Some players never do (they hit a ceiling) however he has one year of eligibility left and he should definitely use it. College will get no easier.

siouxczech29 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Donovan is expected to play his senior season with DE. There was a Duluth Tribune article about it on 3/30/18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforce19 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I don’t think we will ever see an incoming class made of entirely true freshmen. Berry seems to like older players and likes to have that mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be picked in the top 3 rounds next year if he does well in the ushl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W. Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Reported here and elsewhere, UND Fighting _ _ _ _ _ (insert fav nickname) just signed the top recruiting class in NCAA hockey for next year. That, along with an outstanding nucleus of returnees....led by a dedicated and talented coaching staff...should make UND the prohibitive favorite to win the 2019 Ice Hockey nationals.
