I like the comparison with Olson Kaip but I do think that Olson will come in with a little more offensive production than Kaip had here. Tucker is also a little bigger. I personally think that UND has really been missing the big power forward we are used too. I think another former player that Olson has a chance to become is a slightly less productive Brad Malone. Nick Schmaltz has the chance to be special. He probably has the chance to lead the team next year in assists, which seems to be his biggest strength with his vision. I think he will have some nights that he is off though he will need to dedicate himself every night to play a solid two-way game. Tucker Poolman has a chance to be very, very good as well. The d-core next year is going to be very talented so if someone doesn't show up I'm sure that there is gladly going to be someone behind him ready to go. John Simonson has a very good chance to be a diamond in the rough kind of player. He has what it takes to play on a physical line but add some offensive punch for the line. He probably also could play a somewhat similar role to what Pattyn did at times this year on Rocco's line. I think Simonson is a player you can put with top end talent that will keep physical players away from the "better" players. Hayden Shaw is a 96 so he is still pretty young but having a very good year in the USHL for his age. Size wise he is pretty close to Joe Gleason but I think Shaw has alot more upside than Gleason had. The way he is going I think that he could be on par with a Troy Stetcher. Cam Johnson has been playing phenomenally for Waterloo 15 GP 1.86 GAA and 93.9%. It will be a battle for the second goaltender spot as Hrynkiw is not bad at all. The Waterloo Johnson though is going to be tough to beat for that second spot though. Gersich is another player who has a lot of potential maybe even coming in this next year. From what it looks like he is very consistent player who players a good two-way game rarely straying under even for the USA U18 team. Wilkie needs to be more consistent as does Rowe. Wilkie has a lot more upside but is another player that needs to dedicate himself to playing two-ways every night. Rowe has potential to be a St. Clair type of player, solid two-way but can add a little scoring touch as well. Zack Yon has size and the shot to be a good player at this level. Would love to see him play in the USHL to see what he can do there. Tends to be very shot happy though even in the NAHL. Rhett Gardner is the typical blue collared player that UND loves to recruit. I would like to think that there is some grit in his game seemingly willing to throw his body around. Poganski is a player that has a very good offensive upside but seems to be a player that is developing a game where he plays more along the boards and with his frame can be very good at it. Cakebread is a young player that needs to get a little bigger frame on him. This is a guy that willingly switch to play defense out of team need in Arizona so he sounds like a selfless player with good skating and offensive capabilities. With playing some defense as well it make me believe he can be a good two-way player as well. Pelnik, Chartrand, Evers and Mantha are more of the big bodied defensive d-men of the old UND. Don't know how much time Pelnik actually had but seemed to be around even for the most part this year in Langley. Mantha is again not going to score much but plays a more defensive game. Pelnik has alot to prove though before he can get here. Chartrand is a a little smaller but again much more defensive though of the three probably has the biggest offensive upside. Evers is a younger player but from the sounds of it has all the potential you could ask from a player his age. Like the general thought Luke Voltin probably won't make it here unless something drastic happens. From the sounds of it attitude has been an issue with him as well as work ethic. This is a young man that needs to changes his ways if he wants to get with a college program.

Christian Evers stays off the scoring sheet going +1. Trevor Olson gets a goal and an assist with a +1 rating on 2 shots. Nick Schmaltz gets an assist going -2 on 1 shot as Green Bay clinched a playoff spot. As stated above Jack Rowe gets another goal on 2 shots staying even. Ryan Mantha stays even with 1 shot and 2 PIMs in the win. John Simonson stays off the score sheet going -1 on 7 shots but scored his shootout shot. Chris Wilkie gets 2 assists going +1 with 8 shots but misses his shootout goal. Austin Poganski gets a goal going -1 with 5 shots. Christian Cakebread gets back in tonight going +1 with 2 shots. Cam Johnson saves 21 of 23 for the win. He also stopped all 9 penalty shots he faced. Hayden Shaw goes +2 with 2 shots. Tucker Poolman doesnt play tonight, rest or injury? Luke Voltin goes -1 in the loss. Zack Yon breaks through getting 2 goals on 6 shots going +1 with 2 PIMs.

Don't know if your including this but had a goal tonight as well versus Green Bay. With him last season was bad. He was up and down through the beginning of the season leading to him getting traded twice in a short period of time. I think that he needs to play another consistent year before he can get here. If he can settle in he can be really good but needs to prove it first.

What about Fallyn freije from Lakota. From what I have hear and read she's got some size and a good touch around the rim.

162 kills and 139 digs as a soph as well. Doesn't seen bad for a young player.

Figured out the name. It was jaila Tolbert from Breck in minnesota. Looks like she is a junior

Saw two of the coaches walking around with a recuit on campus today but couldn't figure out a name. She was pretty tall too defiantly looked the part of a volleyball player

I don't know what the level of interest is but multiple coaches are following them on twitter which from what I have seen and heard is a increasingly useful tool for recruiting.

I don't know if this has been discussed here but I was wondering if Jones does get fired who should we be looking at to come in as a new head coach? Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if we are interested in Shaun Stewart a JC SG from Cloud Community College? http://stats.njcaa.o...haunstewartk88h Has some pretty good stats there.

Mandy Kurosky is a commit for next year it looks like. A 6 foot outside hitter from Duluth,MN.

UPDATE: Tayler Flaherty from Lakeville North is committed to UND. She is a Junior Defenseman with a 8th Grade younger sister who also plays for North. She had 20 points in 28 total games for North a team that finished third at state. Looks like she committed while I was writing this above. Some highlight footage can be found here: http://www.ncsasports.org/womens-ice-hockey-recruiting/mn/lakeville/lakeville-north-high-school/taylor-flaherty
