Eli King. NDSU got Tay Smith from D2, Trevian Carson from JUCO, Skytta from Sac State and Markhi Strickland from Western Michigan. No P5s until Robison.

For sure going to be never ending but at least in hockey we are generally the beneficiary of the portal whereas football and basketball that is not the case.

I don’t think Wylee ever would have been a starter here but I think he could have been a real solid role player the next two years. Showed flashes, see SDSU.

Sounds like we will have a few JUCOs on campus this week.

Bjerke! SDSU is pretty much the only team that hasn’t been gouged from it. Jaden Jackson is the main one they lost but Saylor, Wilkinson and Garry all haven’t hit, yet.

Yes.

I’m not sure there’s a perfect approach at this level, especially given UND’s situation. At the end of the day, you still want to bring in the best players you can and deal with the possibility of them transferring later. It does feel like building one-year rosters is the reality now, and I think that’s the direction UND is heading. The challenge is figuring out the right mix. Do you lean on older, experienced players from lower levels? Target P6 guys who haven’t found consistent playing time? Take shots on high school recruits who might not have been realistic options before the portal era? It’s probably some combination of all of that, and then some.

I’m stupid. Just completely left him off. My bad.

Portal officially opens tomorrow. As of what’s been reported, we have 6 players that either haven’t ran out of presumed eligibility or already entered the portal: Zach Kraft Karson Ouse Josh Jones Micah Curtis Anthony Doppler Ryan Erikson The last two, I believe won’t return but they could just be done with basketball, not sure.

I see that both Navaeh Ferrara-Horne and Kiera Pemberton have entered the portal again.

What about Hurlburt? Know idea if anything is there.

My guess is we do get 1 of the 2, maybe not the popular choice.

Agreed. I do think NSIC production generally can translate to the Summit though.

😉

And now Campbell’s head coach is going to be associate HC at Louisville.

While you may be right, I think this one might be more related to a scholarship.

I know this is a joke but would expect them to hire either Kyle Green or Seth Tuttle. An outside chance of Richman? Or perhaps this is where Craig Smith lands back on his feet?

Ben McCollum.

I’m not suggesting we should be striving to get Yale to be an instant contributor. Just know he had been mentioned and he definitely has some athleticism.

What?

Interesting name that’s been brought up. None of our coaches currently follow him.

I would guess a max of $100k and that’s probably aggressive.

Wowzers and we took 2 out of 3 from them.
