Zellers? Littler? Wiebe (Jr) - Zmolek (Sr) Strathmann (So) - Emery (So) Laurila (Fr) - McInnis (Fr) Heil (Fr) Cherry on top... Potter Damn that’s stacked! Some fun years upcoming hopefully! I heard Potter possibly MSU and Hagens bros Michigan? All rumors but it’d sure be nice to land Potter or Mooney. Either would turn that recruiting class from “excellent” to “elite”.

AJS Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Starting with the Boisvert commitment, has there been a hotter stretch for this program in the past 17 years (post Oshie / Toews)? This has been lights out. Of course, I don't think the best player of the past 17 years is in the group, but I don't think the overall "ranking" has been higher during that stretch. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the "last 17" disclaimer, and recruit reputation, no. Actual on ice ... we shall see. Other "hot runs" were - Parise -> Toews (give or take a year or two) and - building the 1980 and 1982 rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Panzer has a really good shot at being a quality, four-year college hockey player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other one I can really think of is the run in 2010/2011 that seemed like we were winning every college recruiting battle for the NTDP kids...only to lose them to MJ after. I've wondered before if that's why our coaching staff went a different direction for awhile. I think the later recruiting now (not being able to until their Junior year) has helped with that a bit though. If I'm remembering right, all of these were in that 2010/2011 run of Hak's: Rocco, Koules, J. Schmaltz, N. Schmaltz, JT Miller, Stephan Matteau, Voltin, Thompson, Wilkie. Lots of program kids. Some panned out, some didn't, and some were 1st round picks that never ended up on campus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 4 of those 9 guys made a real impact at UND. Only 5 made it to campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 We've had a lot of commits not make it to campus recently too. Bowen, Reid, Mancinelli, Halliday, Rizzo, Morrow, Donovan, and probably more I can't think of off the top of my head. Some didn't develop as expected, and others.... we don't need to relive what transpired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, since August 1st 2021, we are living in different times. It won't happen as often now as it did prior to that point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpudsSioux Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Sorry I may have derailed this topic with that post. I was referring to the last time I really felt like this with the current run of high-end recruits. They didn't all make it here, but that was a time I felt like for about 2 years it just seemed like we were winning every big recruiting battle.
