Recruiting classes had nowhere to go but down after the mid/late 00s. This year's is as good as any Hak had in the 10s, and our proximity to Canada is poised to pay dividends as MJ players crowd out Americans in NCAA hockey.
I might change my tune if we don't win a game or two in Fargo this year, but between the Fargo Screwjob in 17 and 20 getting cancelled, the one win in nine years isn't as bad as it sounds.
