Remember that DE from last year that nobody had heard of and only had D2 interest. Then boom NIU swoops in and all of a sudden he's a 2 star recruit that everyone wants.
We don't know what the coaches big board looks like though. We don't know how many spots at each position they need. Maybe they'll end up not having enough room for a really good player who really wants to come here. To me that's a good thing. It should be like that every year. It means we're going in the right direction.
I'd say Bubba is hitting a home run right now. Not with recruiting but with getting people that had lost hope in Mussman to believe in the program again.
Strange. They have been doing better at putting it in the back of the net lately but I still don't think of this team as overly potent. Hopefully things continue to click.
One thing I did notice with Loney is that when he went down one of his skates got caught on top of ones of Ausmus' skates and he wasn't able to get control of himself before he went into the boards. He obviously then proceeded to act like he broke every bone in his body.
I'm really hoping this class is a lot like last years class. Big emphasis on toughness and work ethic. Most of all, guys that bleed green and will do anything it takes to win.
This is a very below average UND if we're honest with ourselves. As a FR Brock Nelson was on the 4th line. He would have been first line on this team as a FR guaranteed. That said Michigan beat that team with a less than stellar roster.
This post pretty much sums up all I've ever heard about their class. Work ethic, character, family. That's a winning combo and those young guys have it.
