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

Haha, I love it.

Union College Garnet Chargers

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.

Big day tomorrow! The Rink Live has a commitment board that will list all the Aug 1st commitments as they come in: https://www.therinklive.com/junior-and-prospects/the-rink-live-aug-1-commitment-board

I agree with that. McMahon is stirring the pot a bit though:

7-2 Czech beat up on the US. Swanson with one assist in the loss. He was also named an alternate captain for the tourney.

Haha! Yes, that one and the one where he laid out the CC (?) player when they were both flying down the ice to beat out the icing. I remember those two the most.

I'd guess Gaber, Blake, Perron, and James. Although that's a really tough matchup since Gaber doesn't have the hands of Hrkac and I don't think Perron is gonna lay anyone out like Oshie could.

I've heard he's super quick on his skates. Would be great to continue to progress back to the "speed kills" UND days. I haven't been able to find anywhere that lists his narrowed down college choices. As @ChadR asked above...I wonder if Berry can seal the deal with him and/or Hensler...those high end blue chippahs have eluded us since Sanderson. Gopher fans already have Bump penciled into their top line for next season. His USHL stats certainly don't jump off the page, but with only 12 forwards on their roster, they need to add some players ASAP.

There it is. Forgot that they just fired their coach.

Only if MSU or UND is involved.

Dang, that VT Twitter account must feel sheepish. I thought a player couldn’t enter the transfer portal after a certain date? Timing would work out for a MN commitment for sure, Motzko I’m guessing would be feeling a bit stressed after the late Cooley signing and needing to add some skill (and numbers) up front.

How many of them are we in?

A Goofer twitter account, so who knows its accuracy.

I really hope they don't have to go to the portal to fill those empty forward spots, they've been ripping on other programs that are utilizing the portal transfers.

Haha, the GPL posters saying those things are the same ones that lurk here all the time so that they can report back. As far as being "behind them", we did split with them at Mariucci last season and both teams failed in bringing home the trophy.

UMN will still be good for sure, but losing Knies and Cooley will be tough holes to fill. Not to mention all their defensemen that signed.
