You need a balance of 1-2 year guys and 3-4 year guys. I think Berry and company are doing just that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Berry and company are doing just that. Wasn't that in an article recently: They (Bubs) purposefully recruit for a mix of four-year (likely late bloomers) and one or two-year top enders. Cole Smith and Tyson Jost were freshmen teammates in 2016. Both are in the NHL; very different paths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I remember years ago, Minnesota always had much higher rated recruiting classes than UND. In the end UND held their own, and then some against Minnesota. Rankings give you a better feeling about your team, but in the end it doesn't measure all of the intangibles a player or recruiting class has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 https://www.therinklive.com/junior-and-prospects/ushl/tri-city-storm-tender-shakopees-cooper-simpson-for-2023-24-season Tendered by Tri City. Looks like a really good get. His namesake being named an assistant coach, probably tilted the recruitment in our favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented on this a few weeks ago, how it seemed like everyone had cool looking edits / artwork for their commitments except for the UND guys. I had incorrectly assumed the schools were doing them. Simpson and others used the IG account charmdsgn. It's on the player, not the school. Just an Fyi, as I had assumed wrong on that topic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put the studio name on the art and the kid gets an NIL "kicker" from the studio based on retweets. I wouldn't bet against that being the next trend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
