Sounds a little harsh...that happen a lot with recruits?  Looked like he was averaging nearly a point per game; UND was looking for more or something different out of him?

Maybe he doesn't want to wait another year. Not everyone wants to come in as a 21 year old freshman. They probably have another player they want to bring in for next season.

Not really sure, could have been a depth player

I'm guessing we wanted him still, but requested him to spend another year in juniors, which he could use to elevate his game.  
As someone mentioned previously...similar to the Spicer situation.

I mean, if that final forward roster spot is between Pilgrim and Mathis Preston...who would we rather have?   

Wouldn’t mind the Ruck brothers.

I’ve been wanting those two at UND and get their bother when he’s old enough to commit

From Myers:

Quote

In modern college hockey, a player can de-commit or they can be de-committed. Sources tell me this was the latter.

Also hearing that the likes of SCSU, CC and Michigan State have already reached out to Pilgrim. So he will be wearing a college sweater next season.

And yes, totally agree on the Rucks.  Will be interesting to see what Bryn has cookin.

Exactly. I'm guessing they believed he'd be dominant in junior as a 19 year old & he hasn't been that so they wanted him back in junior for his 20 year old season and he wanted to come in. It is what it is, opens up a future spot

I’m guessing the coaches know the numbers just wouldn’t work out with the future knowing Menghini will be the only Senior next year and you still have guys like Sanderson and ONeill in the pipeline, assuming both Ashton and Brock Schultz might be coming this fall.  Bryn has probably been determining what we need to do to start evening out the classes, and been keeping tabs on each recruit.
