University of North Dakota Hockey 2017-18 Season
AJS replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
This. Love the move by those in charge of pricing the tickets. This will be a couple $100,000 of pure profit for the athletic department. It's one series every couple of years, I don't see anything wrong with it. -
If this Grady news sticks (or really has any truth, @Feff put it perfectly), that will be a tough pill to swallow, coming on the heels of Harris going down. Fall camp can't come soon enough, time for some guys to really step up.

Neutral Zone star rankings on UND's last four recruits. Bowen - 4.5 Kunz - 4.5 Donovan - 4.25 Kleven - 4.75

Talk about a who's who of offers Kleven had, circled off basically every major program in the country, great get by the coaching staff! I'm not sure if just recently Brad started to report more offers than previous recruits, but both Kleven & Donovan were great gets. I've always been a get the best players, no matter where they're from, but love seeing so many local recruits recently. In other committed recruits news, the U-17 Canadian Development camp is underway, both Reid & Blaisdell are taking part in it, big day for Blaisdell with 2G's 1A in a 3-1 win for team Gold. https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/national-championships/men/world-u17/2017/development-camp/stats/game-summary?gameid=1694

I guess we'll find out next week, but does anyone have current information on Grady?
-
Good call, jumped the gun with him being on the Ivan Hlinka roster, didn't notice he had a late '00 birthday.
-
I realize he's only going into this senior year, but it appears he's kind of a late bloomer. Grew 4 inches in the past year, USA Hockey lists him at 6'3", so he's a big kid. Joins Hain on this years USA Ivan Hlinka roster. Really like this addition.
-
This hurts clearly, but CB is one of the positions I feel UND had definite depth going into the year. A core of Hunt / Holm / Carter is still solid, would be nice though if #4 wasn't a true freshman.
-
Using a simple, Better, Same, Worse, how would everyone rank how each unit should be when comparing this season to last? Better - QB, OL, RB, TE, WR, CB Same - DL, Safety Worse - LB
-
Anyone know when Bubba is going to release the pre-fall depth chart? It was released right before the Big Sky kickoff last year.
-
Looking at UND's schedule (using Media Poll) Home Games: 2, 8, 9, 12 Away Games: 6, 7, 10, 11 Missing: 3, 4, 5
-
01's were last week (Mancinelli had 3G's), 02's are going on currently.
-
Anyone know why Jackson Kunz isn't at the Select 15 Development Camp?
-
Really enjoy your coverage!
-
I'd say right now, Rizzo & J. Braccini would be 1 & 2 on the wish list right now. Another name to look for is Justin Barron -- D out of Nova Scotia. 1st round pick in the Q draft to his hometown team, but his brother went college route. Probably a long shot, but would be a huge get.
-
I get it, you just won't be able to convince me that an OL that was pretty good at the end of the year and returns (including Grady), I believe 9 guys that have started a game will be anything less than solid.
-
Set offensively, I truly believe this team offensively will be head and shoulders better then they were last year. As balanced as any team UND has ever had, with incredible depth. They will have a championship caliber offense. To me it all comes down to (1) LB Depth (2) Safety Depth, because I believe they'll be as good on the defensive line if not better and will be better at CB than they were last year.
-
All eyes are on week 3 against, USD. My guess is they'll be 1-1 heading into that matchup and they can't afford to start 1-2 again this year. USD is good, nervous for that match up on the road.
-
I really like Jaxson's size back there, but how is everyone reading into this? First, they clearly like their depth at LB, better than Safety, but I'm hoping they think Jaxson could be a difference maker this year. Possibly looking at the #2 / #3 Safety come fall. Edit: Then the question would be why wasn't this move made earlier. Kind of frustrating that depth of Safety has been an issue forever and it doesn't seem to ever be fixed. Frustrating, because it's a clear weakness on a team that has very few this year.

Congrats to Gavin Hain who makes the US roster for this summer's Ivan Hlinka U18 tournament. Frisch had to have been close.
-
Three recruits are just finishing up the Select 17 Player Development Camp. In 5 games, Costello (4pts), Hain (3pts), Frisch (3pts) Hain & Frisch make the All-Star Game which is going on currently.
