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.

He’ll play D1 for sure….but I’m not sure if he’ll be a Sioux guy or something like BSU, SCSU etc. A buddy of mine who’s kid played for a top D6 bantam team said Marto was the top minnkota bantam forward and it really wasn’t even a conversation. That’s including a loaded Moorhead team with Cullen, buttweiler etc. Marto could literally carry the team and they beat Moorhead twice.

I honestly don’t know. He’s super super super good. But he was an old second year bantam that should have probably been playing HS. He was basically 1-2 in Minnkota bantams Hes not going to be a very big guy, but he’s super good for the level he played at

Bergeson?

I’ve seen the younger brother play. Big big boy with a rocket. But….Jackson was a far better prospect at the same age. It’s really not even close currently.

Did he sign or was his rights traded?

There were a bunch of mn kids take this year. Good to see. Second overall pick from MN
