Assuming it's him, and all but one of us apparently have no real idea who it is, he might see SCSU as a place where he can step right in and get quality minutes. They're going to lose some bodies on defense after this year. It looks to me, according to the CHN site, that they have four seniors on D, along with Ahcan who might be a flight risk. Now, not all of those seniors are getting playing time, but that's still a lot of roster holes.
Actually, Huskies are pretty set at D next year according to my handy recruiting chart.
• Kuster would be a redshirt senior next season, but he graduates this spring. He could also transfer for grad school and play right away.
• Ahcan could leave because he'd get a great pro deal. Also, he's doing just fine in school, but he's not one of our academic studs.
• Ziemer could get cut or delayed because he's one of Motzko's old recruits and he's not performing all that well in the BCHL.
Even without the three above, there would STILL be seven defensemen who all deserve significant playing time. So in theory they could add another defenseman, but there's not that much of a need.

I agree but why even chime in the first time?
If one of you heard a similar rumor going the other way, I'd want to hear about it. I figured I'd pay it forward.

So why the big secret about who you think it is? It's not like you said it's 100 percent certain. Perhaps you enjoy watching the speculation.
Out of respect for the player's privacy. They should be free to contemplate their decision without us rubes chiming in.
If I knew it was 100% certain I'd absolutely say who it is. Of course, it's not 100% until the player has told both coaching staffs, which hasn't happened to my knowledge. If I learn that has happened I will break the news here first.

Thought I saw a pic of Frisch signing his letter of intent.
Not confirming or denying anything about any particular player, but LOI's are void if a college decides to defer a recruit for a year. They are enforceable if the recruit decides to delay himself.
Typically, a coach will commit a kid with the understanding of a "year of juniors". So, the kid skips his senior year of HS and signs his LOI while in his first year of juniors. Towards the end of the season the coach says "we'd like you to play a second year of juniors." Well, the kid doesn't want to wait, so he doesn't self-defer, so his LOI is unenforceable unless the coach brings him in.

Which recruit?
Someone who was debating between SCSU and UND before he committed to UND.

Heard a rumor you guys might be losing a recruit to SCSU. Seemed like an odd fit to me, so I’m not sure how reliable it is. In theory, source should be very connected, so we’ll see.

Your fan base turn out is terrible and is really pathetic when you think about it because you are an hour from St Paul? The nice thing about not making the NCHC is dealing with douche huskie fans, but maybe that’s why you own fans don’t show up either......
You seem like the pleasant sort of UND fan that doesn’t give his team’s fan base a bad reputation.

If by some miracle this team makes the NCAA's, can you imagine how ticked the #1 seed would be having to face UND in Fargo?
Haha, ton of work to do to even get to that point though.They won’t make SCSU play UND first round in Fargo, so you have the power to send us east. That doesn’t bother me, just thought it was interesting.

Thanks. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to GPL to enjoy some fresh schadenfreude.

So, if we take care of beating them, do you promise to take them to the woodshed the last series of the year instead of resting your players for the stretch run, or playing half throttle? Frankly, that is the only hope for home ice right now, and that seems very unlikely given the results to this point.
I can guarantee that the Huskies won't half-ass the series against UMD for many, many reasons. I'll be in attendance and I expect to see some very good games.

Obviously I'm not a fan of UND, but I wouldn't mind their help clinching the NCHC title for SCSU this weekend, so I hope you beat UMD. Frankly, I kind of hope UND makes the NCHC tournament in St. Paul so that it's not dull as hell. So... good luck I guess?
In contrast, I LOVED the old WCHA tournament when the Gophers didn't make it. I showered in schadenfreude before heading down to 7th Street on game day.

Would guess he is on plenty of radars, but as you said, maybe they want to see a year without Brodzinski, or maybe some juniors before or after a season. Skating didn't look horrible in the clips, but that was a small sample, and it is tough to know how fast the other players were.
He'll be committed somewhere before the fall signing date. Everybody is interested in him, but he'd be taking a big gamble to pass up on a guaranteed scholarship offer from a decent program in order to hold out for an offer from his dream school. UMN, UMD, SCSU and others all know this too, so my guess is that his dream school will likely oblige with an offer soon.
That's not suggesting I know what his dream school is. Like most recruits, he might not know that until he's made a bunch of visits.

Anyone know who the recruit on-campus was today? Had a Mustangs team name shirt on. He was with Jackson.
Breck or Mounds View maybe.

And UMass goes down so SCSU stays #1. No complaints. GG

To be honest, St. Paul would have been boring without you guys. Split is fine. See you at the X.

So I just saw Schlossman’s write up that Jimmy Schuldt won’t face any suspension so question, will UND put it past them and just focus on the game or will they attempt to get even with Schuldt?
There may be more negative than positive going after a three year senior captain Hobey candidate. Judgement call.

How did St. Cloud get all the good players?
Mike Gibbons. Granted Motzko is a great closer, but Gibby has the eye for hidden talent.

No goal, apparently.

Any chance you can get your boys to adopt this as their mantra for the weekend? We'd appreciate it.
Ha! Probably not. I think these boys are playing with a grudge and a purpose. The grudge comes from the disappointment of last season's finish and the betrayal of their alumnus coach. The purpose is to 1) Win the last four games of the season, and 2) Shove it in the face of the traitor. Their expectations are different than mine by definition.

I mean, I get it. I was just curious! How you feeling about your team, buddy?
Honestly, pretty good, because I don’t give a rat’s butt about conference championships or NCAA seeding this year. (Been there done that.) I just want a ticket to the dance. That’s it. Just another shot at the title. It looks like that’s pretty much taken care of, so anything else is gravy at the moment. Not that I like losing to UND, but this weekend means less to me in the grand scheme of things than it would in a typical season.

Understood, and that might be true, but I think it would be FAR from the best spot for somewhat looking to get top six minutes.
That's not to say I want to turn away any significant talent that wants to play for SCSU, just that I don't know why SCSU would be in the market for another scholarship defenseman for next season. Then again, if Kuster stays as a walk-on and Ahcan leaving opens up a scholarship... who knows.
