3rd or 4th would be good to make the team….anything later you play juniors if there’s no obvious spots on the team. The only one of those players maybe cracking the 3rd round is Laurila. I’m not sure Schultz’s year was strong enough. I am high on him for next year though. I think he’ll go, at the earliest, late 4th or most likely 5th. Simpson needs a year in juniors for sure.

Let’s go! Go get a big fish

MSU will be absolutely juiced next year. i just read….141 CHL to ncaa commits so far. We have 1 (so far).

20 and 20? I’ll take the under haha I do hope he hits 30 pts though….not sure he’ll have the O talent around him.

That’s aggressive.

Well then flip them. If my kid is committed to Michigan and they then add a few CHL studs…you better hope my ears are perked as far as other opportunities. At this point, the gentleman’s agreement from years past is out the door.

It was just an example. I used Michigan because they pulled a top flight blue chip this morning and by the sounds of it, they’re not done. Does that mean they’ll win a natty? No. I’m sure other schools were in on the transfers you referred to. UND is a great spot to keep developing and those players know that. They were also told what their role would be, which I’m assuming was driving their decision. Were they high end prospects? No, not at all. But they’ve all worked themselves into being wanted come portal times. Which is exciting if you’re a UND fan. I’d honestly rather bring these guys in than 6-7 rd 18-19 year olds out of juniors.

We shall see.

Well….they can’t go to a loaded blue chip Michigan roster can they? They need to play. Not saying Michigan is going to be awesome next year, my reference was only an example. My point was you need to play.

And they’ll come in more experienced/ready than say a 4-5 rd draft pick that’s only played juniors. I’m fine with it to help win games.

High end prospects vs portal transfers are two completely different things. Were any of the transfers even drafted?

I would agree here. But the Big10 seem to be pulling way ahead (we’ll see how far)….we’re going to have to go older.

The advisors want their blue chip players to play with/against other blue chips.

That answer was like 99% correct.

90-95%….im a homer too….but boy, you’re a little out of touch with this one. And I’m saying that as nicely as a can

He’s ranked as a 1st rounder…but I’m kind of confused how this kid isn’t a top 5-10 projected pick. His numbers are super good. His D might be a work in progress I suppose.

Selfishly, I want one of those.

Similar to how ushl players translate. Some will struggle others will do well…the blue chips will/should do well.

Boy that is a nice get.

Agreed huge part of the equation.

As a MSU fan, this would stink. However, after I thought about it for like a minute, it guessing they just buy another stud.

It’s the best spot if you can swing it

I really did think we’d be in on 1-2 of these higher end CHL guys. Money talks I guess. It’s a bit early…but this is starting to feel like SEC football. And I’m not necessarily talking about the Romani commit (he’s a 6th rounder). But I thought we’d grab some skill out of those leagues.

Anthony Romani to Michigan State

100% agreed.
