That can be said at many levels. Mid round range draft guys are most likely going to need a good while to develop anyway, why not stay an extra year in Juniors and be ready to make a splash when you reach the next level, rather than having to sit on the bench while others eat up the big minutes. Completely agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradition Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We have some very highly touted defensemen recruits coming through pipeline right behind Frisch and Bast too. Scheduled to come in 2020 are Tyler Kleven, Mitchell Miller and Luke Reid. That’s a lot of talent to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxczech29 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Add Jake Sanderson to that list. Might be the best if the bunch. No idea when he’s projected to come in though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsh Hall Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Definitely a log jam next year. 6 returning guys that saw a lot of ice - Poolman, Peske, Bast, Kierstad, Jonny, and JBD. Always some injuries and healthy scratches, but that's a pretty solid group. Outside some long-term injures, I don't see (2) freshman getting 20-25 games each. Seems one more year of juniors for one of them would be more beneficial for their development. The next year we'll lose Peske, Poolman, and probably a couple early departures.

Not confirming or denying anything about any particular player, but LOI's are void if a college decides to defer a recruit for a year. They are enforceable if the recruit decides to delay himself. Typically, a coach will commit a kid with the understanding of a "year of juniors". So, the kid skips his senior year of HS and signs his LOI while in his first year of juniors. Towards the end of the season the coach says "we'd like you to play a second year of juniors." Well, the kid doesn't want to wait, so he doesn't self-defer, so his LOI is unenforceable unless the coach brings him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you said it's 100 percent certain. Perhaps you enjoy watching the speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew it was 100% certain I'd absolutely say who it is. Of course, it's not 100% until the player has told both coaching staffs, which hasn't happened to my knowledge. If I learn that has happened I will break the news here first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If Frisch wants to come in you bring him in. This staff better not make the same mistake they did with Donovan and end up losing him because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he was referring to Cloud poaching a recruit it wouldn't be Motzko doing it these days. Any chance Motzko had to poach from us went up in smoke the moment that panorama of empty Mariucci hit the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I know there's a real long line of players that switch commitments. I have a more basic very broad question. How many of the commitments that switch actual poaching type situations and not either players deciding to decommit on their own and open up their recruiting (Donovan / Boeser) or the University decides that player is no longer a good fit (Mitchell Mattson), or is it pretty common place for every school (usually be "bigger" named schools) to still be putting out feelers seeing if guys would be interested in switching?

Clearly the league was very tough for him this year. If we need a dman bad (which we don't obviously), I'd flip an over ager like Attard to come in. Back to Frisch. I just think it would benefit him to log a ton of minutes (in all situations) and come in more polished and extend his development cycle by a year.

Assuming it's him, and all but one of us apparently have no real idea who it is, he might see SCSU as a place where he can step right in and get quality minutes. They're going to lose some bodies on defense after this year. It looks to me, according to the CHN site, that they have four seniors on D, along with Ahcan who might be a flight risk. Now, not all of those seniors are getting playing time, but that's still a lot of roster holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforce19 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I will go on record and say I do not believe the recruit in question is Frisch considering the reason he got traded to Fargo was because of Berry wanting him to play for a playoff contender before coming to UND. It just doesn’t make sense. This is from a month ago, and if he knew he was gonna be at UND in the fall a month ago, flipping now would be in pretty poor taste. https://www.kvrr.com/2019/02/27/frisch-ready-to-get-started-with-playoff-contender-after-trade-to-force/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Good to hear @siouxforce19 / @skateshattrick! This isn't a knock at all, but given Bast is just a Senior this year, another year of Juniors will be a benefit all around for both him and UND. As I think it would have for Frisch as well. Where we stand though, Frisch coming in next year and Bast being delayed one year is the optimal situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, not all of those seniors are getting playing time, but that's still a lot of roster holes. Actually, Huskies are pretty set at D next year according to my handy recruiting chart. • Kuster would be a redshirt senior next season, but he graduates this spring. He could also transfer for grad school and play right away. • Ahcan could leave because he'd get a great pro deal. Also, he's doing just fine in school, but he's not one of our academic studs. • Ziemer could get cut or delayed because he's one of Motzko's old recruits and he's not performing all that well in the BCHL. Even without the three above, there would STILL be seven defensemen who all deserve significant playing time. So in theory they could add another defenseman, but there's not that much of a need.
