Almost double Herter's salary and get him on over to GF.

Confirmed now. He has signed.

He was in the head coach position...hard to say if he'd be interested in a lateral move from WMU for the assistant role.

Waldron from Miami is heading to ASU. He was Miami's best player from my viewing of the Miami/UND games.

@Godsmack any intel on Werner? Not sure if we're in the conversation with him, but he has decent numbers.

BU really buying up the forwards. Wonder if Misa is still planning on heading there too…that was the hot rumor a few months ago.

If two come in of those four I’d think it would be Schultz and O’Neill.

Was wondering about him as well. Same thing as Whitelaw where he’s going for his 3rd team in 3 years, so unsure.

Good thing you have a few months...

Email Schloss.

Any player that is committing this soon after the portal opens already knew their destination prior to entering the portal. And if the rumors are true that Berry wasn’t doing much recruiting prior to his departure, then it makes sense that we don’t have any portal commits yet.

Jumping ship is jumping ship, I guess.

I’ll check…

So much for all those UMN fans calling us Portal U the last couple years. They’re gonna need quite a few portals…I’m not sure their coaching staff can snag CHL commits as well as others.

If anyone is planning on making the trip to AZ for next years ASU/UND series, you can start looking at travel arrangements for the weekend of Jan 23/24.

That might be hard with the character limit.

#72 is open for McKenna. Book it.

I wonder if the NCAA will ever get a handle on this portal / NIL nonsense. Like a one-time portal entry per player, and then any other time they need to sit for a year. And a cap on NIL. Hockey is a few years behind football/basketball, but it's only a matter of time before it gets really bad.

There are 25-35 other players in the portal already that could put the puck in the net the same as Whitelaw without bringing on the drama baggage. Not to mention the CHL players that will start dropping with commits as soon as their seasons end. I'm ok with Jackson being "picky" and trying to get the right guys.

He must be going for the four colleges in four years portal challenge. Perron drama taking the place of Whitelaw drama in Michigan I guess.

I'd take Spicer back at UND and make for a good redemption story.

Yep. With REA already increasing prices, if they want to get full revenue, they could provide the NIL to McKenna directly and the whole season would be sold out tickets, a media frenzy, and an instant boost to the product on the ice. If the saying of "chippahs follow chippahs" holds true, then there's no bigger recruiting prize than the consensus #1 pick in the 26 draft. Land him, and you'll land others. Plus, I'm guessing then his buddy Ritchie would follow him too. I'm all aboard the McKenna plan.

Ritchie + Bear. Let's do it.
