These present & future Gopher players are getting hammered all over the place.

Hopefully enough of them to calm people down on this thread.

Or a page out of UW book where they get too many recruits and not all of them want to wait. We can hope at least.

Today's results so far: Swe 3 Sui 2 Can 5 Lat 2

A few notes from watching that vid: David Hoogsteen standing next to Sweeney...hilarious! Hoogsteen comes up to Sweeney's neck. How did someone get a live gopher into the arena and then hold onto it for 2.5 periods? Beautiful pokecheck by Goehring to breakup a great UMN chance at the 26min mark. And that setup the gorgeous Panzer from Panzer 2-on-1 goal immediately after. Debus made a few really good saves after it got to 3-3...it was all UND. Kauk appearance at the 36min mark. Man, were Blake and the Panzer bros fun to watch...so fast and skilled.

Correct.

Big time get for BU. Not too much of a surprise with his older brother already committed to BU as well.

He grew up watching Brad Miller Time on Youtube.

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.

Top line winger for UMass suffered a career ending injury: https://dailycollegian.com/2022/07/garrett-wait-medically-disqualified-will-not-play-for-umass-hockey/ Ouch, that's tough.

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.
