Jason Blake's son Jackson committed. Anyone know anything about him? Good to see the Shattuck pipeline is still open.

Rizzo is not likely to come in this fall.

Yep. 100% agreed.

Good stuff from Michaud. Sign me up for another Hexy, please: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4602325-westin-michaud-may-bring-brett-hextall-elements-unds-game

Yup. This is it, I believe.

All the tit for tat in here and this is the only true way to bring the fun back.

I think we'll see a little UND action here in the next couple of weeks, but very few will be disappointed by the movement(s).

I'd be willing to bet we go alumni. Maybe Goehring?

That, or that he thinks the PP isn't good. I'll take the latter

His dad has said many times that they wanted to go HE from the get go.

That was for @Irish lol.

Is Donovan going to be a scholarship player?

@Irish This is literally it. We haven't gotten a couple of scorers that we've recruited.

Nope, they have to contribute right away for them to be successful. We can't wait. We mustn't wait

Missing on getting recruits the last couple of years, IMO. It happens. That's not according to plan, so I'm not sure why you'd think I said or think that. Pipeline overall, especially forward wise seems better based on rankings and stats in the next couple of classes. I'm overall happy with our player development, in general. Fine if you don't share that opinion. Our systems haven't changed much since I've watched UND hockey and with the increase in talent incoming (again, not my opinion but by rankings and stats), I'm going to stay optimistic.

3 should work.

Oh, so Bubbs only knows how to develop D-men. Got it lol. So, can we establish the high enders, in your eyes when they came in? Guchi, Adams, Hoff, Mash, right? If that's the case, I'd say there are three juniors on there, one who's been injured, one who took a big jump from the beginning of his freshman year and another who's not developed much. Hoff has been a miss. Any other ones? If so, this whole thing again seems overstated.

He left on his own volition, though. UND told him what best suited the team. The kid disagreed, so they went their separate ways. Donovan didn't feel like a recruit UND should break its back to keep at all costs.

Yes, I'm serious. You're making it sound like it's nuts to not think we have a development problem. Adams is another. Sad that I forgot him because it helps show what you're saying. So, Hoff and Adams. Feels overstated. But it's fine. They're only about to start their junior year. Development isn't done. Hoff feels like a miss and Adams has underperformed. How about a guy like Kierstad? Senden? You ignored my comment about Guchi and Scheel. Goes both ways, it seems.

He's my biggest miss we've had in a long time.

It's not comparable, honestly. Walk on vs. scholly.

What player should he cut? Rizzo will be a scholly player. Rizzo has underperformed when he was healthy this year, so it would probably be good for him.

Yeah, I heard it was even prior to Michaud entering the transfer portal that they wanted him there for one more year. Sounded like Guchi was slotted as the top center. Seeing him play that spot at times late this season maybe was his try out? Anyway, big get for us, IMO. Gives Rizzo more seasoning, too and he can get healthy completely, if that's the plan.

I've heard he's not coming in this year.

Who's your example that that hasn't happened yet? Other than Mismash, who's been injured for large chunks and is only a junior this year, who would you say is higher end? JBD and Johnny are the two high enders and both had very good years. Gooch is our leading scorer. Scheel? Would have been an all league player had he not gotten injured. I don't understand.
