Does everyone want the problems within the program just out there for public knowledge? I don’t think I do. So I understand why some things are not made public. If recruiting was already in a not great spot, I don’t think a report in the GF Herald on all the issues with the program would have helped, and that could have taken a lot of work to come back from. Others may have a different view on this.

He’s been following UND on Instagram for a while, he came across my radar several months ago so I checked back then. Chyzyk also follows him on instagram, which I think is also a sign.

I would be extremely surprised if we aren’t.

I feel like he’s been pouring cold water on this for weeks. A lot of fans just aren’t listening. One of my friends asked me a few weeks ago about our chances with McKenna and I said “ as close to 0% as there is” and the comprehension of what I said did not go through at all.

Schlossman had mentioned on a podcast a while back that a lot of our recent recruiting battles right now have been with Michigan State. We are getting recruits that picked us over them and vice versa.

I guess based on what I saw last year I think that Littler is someone they want at center. All our other centers are freshmen and I don’t think we would roll out Rickwood and 3 freshmen centers. So if Littler is not at center they will move another non-freshman to center. Maybe Strinden? Swanson was mentioned as someone with the flexibility to play center but I just see him at wing.

I think we have recruited the Chicago area terribly. We got Strathmann but that’s pretty much it. We were in on Jack Hextall last summer but he picked Michigan State over UND, despite being a UND fan. So clearly there’s issues recruiting this area. Maybe with the new staff we can remedy this.

I believe the Reschny amount more than Verhoeff. 200K would probably be one of the highest NIL amount for a NCAA hockey player that I have seen a rumored dollar amount for and I guess I am skeptical.

Some of these guys already have interest in UND, so I would be curious if the player Schlossman is referring to is someone who didn’t previously have interest in UND, or if getting Reschny and Verhoeff would be what tipped it in UND’s favor from someone who has us on their list.

He’s not eligible- signed an AHL contract a few months ago

I would say Verhoeff is more comparable to Sanderson than Emery when it comes to the level of prospect he is though.

Zmolek and Verhoeff are both right shot D so I think it’s unlikely they’ll be paired.

Unless it has already happened. Kind of like how McKamey already accelerated. I haven’t heard anything about Verhoeff accelerating though. He’s pretty young. Turns 17 this summer.

He’s definitely a UND target. Just started following UND on instagram.

For what it’s worth Cole Reschny recently started following UND on instagram. So I am reading between the lines that he’s a player we are after that has some interest in coming here.

We got Zellers because he always wanted to play here.

I had a response typed out, saw you had replied and decided you had it covered lol.

I am not sure but I have been getting the impression another commitment from a WHL player is just a matter of time.

He has not. I see him whining about it all the time

I don’t know about the percentage but when I was looking at the leading scorers for the OHL and WHL, at the time I looked, it seemed like the WHL had a higher quantity of point per game players. The high end of the OHL could be higher but perhaps the depth of talent is better in the WHL.

That’s one I was wondering about. Schlossman just tweeted and said it’s someone for the future, not next year so he would fit.

St Thomas announced the game at the X will be a 5 pm start.

The first year of the NCHC they had the conference opener. They even did double headers. I was in Oxford for the NCHC opener in the inaugural season and after our game, CC and Duluth played on CBS sports. They have really gone downhill in recent years.

Finally something was mentioned in Schlossman’s article about McKamey’s WHL status. I would guess Penticton had to have known this would be what would happen when they decided to move up to the WHL.
