redwing77 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 This will most likely come off sounding cruel, but I have to wonder if Fink doesn't make some strides this year if they will ask him to defer or drop his scholarship all together. I know he joined the USHL rather young, but he is in his 3rd season there now and although its early, he doesn't look like he has progressed much from last year. He committed very early and just hasn't seemed to develop much. With the full house over the next year or two, does UND have to make some tough decisions about delaying or cutting recruits?? Heh. I can see it now: Hakstol throws recruit down the river. It would be Hak's first. Certainly not uncommon in CCHA (I believe Michigan State is the leading contender in doing stuff like this). UW was the latest school to do that (that goaltender that switched committments to UMD). I have to wonder about Fink too, but hey.... maybe he's the next Scott Foyt. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Schlossman has him listed as a 2010 recruit, but he could be wrong. He also has Forbort as a 10/11: Danny Mattson, F, 10 Derek Rodwell, F, 10 Nick Mattson, D, 10 Derek Forbort, D, 10/11 Mike Fink, F, 10/11 Colten St. Clair, F, 10/11 Michael Parks, F, 11 Brendan O'Donnell, F, 11 Brock Nelson, F, 11 Zane Gothberg, G, 11/12 I figured those 3 are for sures because of our 3 senior departures Quote
Chris Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Forbort will definitely be a '10 recruit. Nelson is interesting because they may have to move him up to 2010 too if he ends up getting drafted high enough, and that probably takes a spot away from someone else. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 usa draft talk Cedar Rapids forward Michael Parks is a potential riser as the season progresses. He has average size, isn Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 USHL update danny mattson had a goal and assist in a game this past weekend for omaha in the ushl. he has a 2-2=4 on the season in 7gp, +4 with 6 shots as well fink with 3a in 8gp so far with des moines, -5 with 11 shots as well parks is 1-4=5 in 8gp, +3 with 16 shots st clair is 1-2=3 in 7gp, 23 shots and even in +/- nick mattson even on year in +/-. 0 points through 8gp AJHL update rodwell 6-5=11 in 12gp, 8pim USU18 forbort 5a in 12gp. 12pim MJHL odonnell 18gp, 8-4=12 and 16pim Quote
siouxnami Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Forbort will definitely be a '10 recruit. Nelson is interesting because they may have to move him up to 2010 too if he ends up getting drafted high enough, and that probably takes a spot away from someone else. I don't think draft position will matter as much as fit. Remember Kristo as a second rounder went to the USHL. Quote
siouxforce19 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I don't think draft position will matter as much as fit. Remember Kristo as a second rounder went to the USHL. Kristo hadn't graduated high school yet! Apparently this has not been said enough lol Quote
siouxnami Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Kristo hadn't graduated high school yet! Apparently this has not been said enough lol My bad, I didn't realize senior year was in the USHL, I thought he had graduated. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I don't think draft position will matter as much as fit. Remember Kristo as a second rounder went to the USHL. A top ten draft pick(if he goes that high) is different then a second rounder. Quote
siouxnami Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 A top ten draft pick(if he goes that high) is different then a second rounder. I like Nelson alot, but these isn't a snowball's chance in hell he is a top 10 pick. That said, I hope I am wrong... Quote
jk Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I think they're talking about Forbort being ranked in Red Line's top ten. FWIW, Red Line had Mike Forney in its top ten for part of his draft year. Quote
brianvf Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah, they're talking about Forbort. He's currently ranked #9 in the Red Line Report draft projection. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah, they're talking about Forbort. He's currently ranked #9 in the Red Line Report draft projection. that corrrect, nick mattson and nelson look like 2nd rounders. then parks, danny mattson and gothberg. could be a very busy rounds 1-4/5 for future sioux players Quote
Just Curious Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Anyone have any info on injuries to UND's recruit? Looking at the USHL scores last night St. Clair, Nick Mattson, and Parks were all out of the lineups for the respective teams. Any info?? Quote
sioux rube Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Anyone have any info on injuries to UND's recruit? Looking at the USHL scores last night St. Clair, Nick Mattson, and Parks were all out of the lineups for the respective teams. Any info??St.Clair is at the World Junior A challenge in Summerside,Prince Edward Island until Nov.8. Quote
jk Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 St.Clair is at the World Junior A challenge in Summerside,Prince Edward Island until Nov.8. All three of them are there. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 St.Clair is at the World Junior A challenge in Summerside,Prince Edward Island until Nov.8. In fact all three are at the Challenge and Mattson picked up an assist in the US 5-2 win over Canada West. http://www.mjahl.com/stats_gamesheet.php?ID=295 Quote
Just Curious Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 In fact all three are at the Challenge and Mattson picked up an assist in the US 5-2 win over Canada West. http://www.mjahl.com/stats_gamesheet.php?ID=295 I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks for the info. Quote
Gopherguy33 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 In fact all three are at the Challenge and Mattson picked up an assist in the US 5-2 win over Canada West. http://www.mjahl.com/stats_gamesheet.php?ID=295 Mattson has played well. I have seen him twice and have been impressed. Quote
AltaSioux Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Update on Derek Rodwell. After missing the first five games of the season and not being selected to Canada West WJAC team, he's settling in and averaging almost a point a game. 7 goals and 5 helpers in 13 games, including a goal and fight in Oilers 4-3 win over Calgary Canucks on Friday. His fight was against Canucks tough guy Brett McCullough Quote
dagies Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 His fight was against Canucks tough guy Brett McCullough AltaSioux, thanks for the update on the AJHL guys. It's nice to hear from someone who sees them play. How did he fare in this set-to? Quote
AltaSioux Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 AltaSioux, thanks for the update on the AJHL guys. It's nice to hear from someone who sees them play. How did he fare in this set-to? Didn't see the game but have seen McCullough fight over the last two seasons so know that Derek would have been game to take him on. I'm attaching a link to a story on the game from Oilers website. http://www.okotoksoilers.com/NewsView.aspx?ArticleID=84 Quote
redwing77 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I think the "real" story in that game is the Calgary goaltender. I mean... he has to go through life with the name "Dusty Nickel" Quote
jk Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Canada East edged the US 5-4 in a shootout today. The US outshot them 35-19, Parks had 1-2-3, and St. Clair had an assist. Quote
