Fratt Mattin

I also didn't think we were in on Schneider, which is why I thought it was worth mentioning when it appeared in the Tribune. I wouldn't exactly call them college hockey insiders though, so maybe it doesn't mean much. Can't speak for Pue, but I have also heard we are in on Thompson. That would be another pretty impressive grab out of the cities if we could make it happen

Gopher fans on Twitter are crashing out and complaining that UND is trying to “buy a national championship” I’d say that’s a pretty good sign that things are going well

Article about Fitzhenry in the Tribune mentions that we are also battling the Gophers for Fred Schneider. I see he follows Chyzyk too. It’s interesting because I was under the impression we weren’t really in that race anymore. I also think there’s probably no room for him if we land the Rucks, unless he’d be willing to play one more year of juniors. Regardless, it’s good to see us in the thick of it for all these top names

Unless he has a pretty disappointing draft year, I’d expect him on campus in 2027. It’s not common for a guy of his caliber to defer enrollment

Don't quote me on this, but I seem to remember a story about how when he went on his visit there, Lucia made him wait in his car for some absurd amount of time. It was really bizarre

This was my initial reaction too, but I wasn’t sure if I was just getting caught up in the moment. Upon review however, I think this may well be true

Mismash is a good one. He never lived up to the hype, but that was a big deal when he committed. Can’t remember how involved Minnesota was with him. I’m sure they were very interested, I just don’t remember if it was mutual

I was wondering if Boeser would count, but it sounds like Minnesota absolutely botched his recruitment in every way imaginable. So I'm not sure it's even fair to include that one

When was the last time we won a head-to-head recruiting battle against UMTC for a metro kid? Brad's article said all four coaches went down and visited Fitzhenry recently. That should tell you everything you need to know about where Dane's head is at. He understands that the Xs and Os don't matter unless you've got the Jimmies and Joes. It's been a while since I've felt this good about the direction of the program

The period of time between when the bat signal goes up and when we find out who we got is agonizing

Great news for us as we obviously weren't getting them if they played college this year. Hope we continue recruiting them hard throughout next season

Denver's right side is loaded. Lin, Rudolph, and Fiddler. Not to mention MacBeath and Jameison on the left. They'll be young, but wow is that a lot of talent.

Rumor is that they were on campus recently. No clue if it’s true, but I’ve heard a few people say it

Yes, I think BC makes the most sense for him from an opportunity stand point. Although as a Western Canadian kid, it is by far the farthest from home

Rudolph has apparently narrowed his choices down to Denver, Michigan State, and BC. Him, Lin, and Fiddler all on the right side for Denver would be insane depth if it happens
