It was Quincy Patterson. He came from Virginia Tech. Great athlete but no accuracy or touch.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I recall a similar narrative when Matt Cullen's brothers Mark and Joe were being recruited. They ended up to be pretty good college players and even played some pro hockey. I would never underestimate any Cullen because they have such incredible work ethic, character and heart. Even Matt was regarded as an average skater when he went to St. Cloud, but he worked on it and ended up being a really good skater.

I wouldn't characterize Brooks as a nothing burger. I agree he's not a star, but his heart and character are similar to his dad Matt. He will get better and will be a very good college player. Wyatt and Joey Cullen are legitimate high end players.

Ben Strinden should have a letter

There is a history of players flipping between UND and DU. Ausmus and Gregoire from DU and Rizzo from UND

PSU, leaving MSU and UND

Tom was a very good man and died too young

I can't wait to watch him this year. He is going to be very good. I think this UND team is going to be very good.

Go back a few pages on this thread

I'm happy for Brock and glad that he did not go the Wild so that Wild fans can't make him a scapegoat like Zach Parise.

Who is Zach Mauer?

I don't know if we have had as many players turn pro, but we have recently had some good ones playing in the NHL: Jackson Blake, Jake Sanderson, Tyler Kleven, Shane Pinto, JBD, Troy Stecher and Brock Boeser have done well. Tyson Jost has been a little disappointing, but he's still playing in the NHL.

I agree with that assessment, but it is not the only selling point. UND not only has the best facilities in the country, and historically sends a lot of players to the professional ranks, but hockey is by far No. 1 at UND so the players are big fish in a small pond. At the Big schools and BC, hockey takes a back seat to at least football and basketball.

What about Cooley and Knies?
