He'll get some good playing time with all the forward talent that they lost this summer. They've picked up some nice guys out of the portal, but they sure lost a good chunk of their offense. Meanwhile, UMN fans will have to break out that eraser for all of them that were writing Bump into their lineup already. Hopefully they used a pencil.

In his original tweet, he spelled Gophers incorrectly and called it Minnesota University. I take it he's from out of state.

And unfortunately they lost their leading goal scorer, McKown, to the pros.

CC could surprise a few teams in the NCHC this season. They have a good core returning and a great goalie. A really good recruiting class as well.

I have a feeling this commit took Brad by surprise. It seems like with most commits, he has a bit of inside knowledge, as he has an article with quotes within a few hours of the commitment. This one...so far nothing other than a screenshot of Ashton's social media post.

No, he wasn’t on the list.

Nice get! Although he said “go Sioux”, that’ll bring out the keyboard warriors from UNO on Twitter and Facebook.

Schloss was talking about this on his latest podcast. I forgot what exactly he said, something about how it's more difficult to get the info on the applicants now or he is unable to...one of those.

Would be a nice legacy commit and he sounds like a skilled small dman, like his dad.

He gives a little background into each, but here are the names on his list: James Hagens LJ Mooney Logan Hensler Zachary Morin Sascha Boumedienne Sam Laurila Garrett Lindberg Cullen Potter Cole McKinney (UM) William Moore Lukas Sawchyn Charlie Trethewey Andrew O'Neill (UND) Caleb Heil Masun Fleece Drew Schock Jake Stuart Jacob Rombach Cooper Simpson Carter Murphy

Heck, I’d settle for two.

Of the 20 big recruit names on the Schloss list that were eligible to commit on 8/1, only two have committed thus far. O'Neill to UND and McKinney to Michigan. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/20-names-to-watch-when-college-hockeys-recruiting-season-opens-aug-1

I wondered that as well when I saw that news. Pretty late in the season for sure, but anything is possible if the Flyers want him in their system right away.

Awesome! Welcome aboard Andrew!! Alright...one of the three Fargo/Moorhead kids down. Keep 'em coming Berry and Co!

Haha, I love it.

The victim's mother just bought Rosetta Stone for learning Slovak in an attempt to block him from playing there too.

Talk about an uneventful first day! Dang. Let's hope a few more top prospects stop in for visits and the staff can get them onboard. The trio of Laurila, Lindberg, and Mooney that @stoneySIOUX mentioned that have already visited...those three would be a good place to start on committing.

And none of the highly sought after recruits have committed. So we’re still in the running for all of them.

Pretty light day for commitments so far, for sure. Looks like only Miami from the NCHC has picked up a recruit.
