No titles....30 years of mediocrity....couple titles.... Something like that?

But he didn't commit on Aug 1st, so there must be a problem.

I was wondering that as well after seeing that he made their camp.

I would guess that James is higher up in the line chart. I wonder if Hellsten and DeRidder will split time to start or if one will be "the guy" from the onset.

Are you basing this on the fact that there isn’t a recruit that committed on Aug 1st? Not many programs got a commitment today especially compared to last year. And there is still a ton of great recruits available.

If true, I wonder if they lose any players and/or recruits due to the fallout.

It says in the article that he was contacted by 30-40 schools. I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that some of those interested schools were UM, UMN, Bostons, etc being that he was approached by 2/3rds of all NCAA D1 schools.

A few SSM players on that list. Seems to have been awhile since we landed our last SSM player...before that, they almost were like a development team for UND with how many recruits came from there for a bit.

Brendan Budy transferred to RPI.

You won't like this: Hopefully Gaber has a breakout junior year at UND.

https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/06/19/teuvo-two-blackhawks-reportedly-sign-nick-schmaltz/ Looks like Nick signed with the Blackhawks on June 19, 2016. Definitely not as late as Jasper...that would have also been before the NHL development camps as well.

I really only recall that happening once to us (player leaving school due to good performance at camp) in the last couple decades (correct me if I'm wrong). I wouldn't worry about it. Weatherby was an outlier.

Just the narrative in your brain, I believe.

They have a say. Some players have even changed their numbers from year to year. JPL did that a few years ago.
