Recruiting has been great lately - nice job by the coaches. This is especially satisfying since the last two #1s went to Duluth and St. Clown. We need studs like this in the mix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Urgent warning to all season ticket holders: DON'T GIVE UP YOUR SEASON TICKETS. The recruits are lining up with the STARS! Last year was a NCAA playoff missfire for MN, BC, & UND; the goofs stole the show with the .0001 kill shot. UND's future looks bright in so many ways! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned we don't seem to recruit lunch-pail, 4-years guys like we used to. Blais was good at striking that balance. For all we know this hot shot '20 bunch might not know what 60 minutes is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a play off the recruiting narrative that we've been talking about since before we got Rizzo? I'm sorry if I'm ruining the joke hahaha. And if you're not joking, I'm very, very confused. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather be loaded with studs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lose too many guys at once. These guys are still young. Some of them may not turn out to be exactly what some think...others may be better. We attempt to recruit the best kids every single year. You're never going to turn away a kid because they happen to be too talented. Berry is going into year 3 (I believe), his recruiting has picked up over time. A few years ago, I was curious if the recruiting would take a hit with Hak's departure. It did, to an extent, but has picked right back up. I expect Berry to continue this recent trend.
