Ask Gage on twitter if his bro is still committed

Super tough situation…really unfortunate actually. I wouldn’t go there to be honest. 
 

TA was an unreal youth player, got a look with NTDP….something happened with that injury his first year of junior. Never quite bounced back. I’m guessing it’s a confidence deal now. The fact he isn’t putting up numbers in the BC is pretty telling. I’m hoping everything works out for him.

Wasn't it him, Spicer and Panzer in that photo in front of the Ralph after all 3 committed?

What's the face for? I don't really understand. Players sometimes just don't develop like we hoped they would.

Plus, we've been discussing and guessing that those two players were no longer commits for a few months now.

Exactly. I love legacy players as much as the next guy, but it's smart for the staff to let a guy go when he's not performing.

And I'm sure incoming commits are told that their continued performance is critical to their ultimate arrival.

How about information on another Bluu Chippa…

Right this is the wrong thread for this question, but has anyone heard anything new on Lindberg? He's apparently been down to UND and DU for quite a while so anyone in the know of this situation? I feel like the longer this goes along the more likely he picks DU. Just a feeling.

For someone who doesn’t like chirpers, you sure do a lot of it.

How’s that a chirp? And it was chirpas 

 

that state lament is the truth around here. If we don’t get a recruit everyone on this board will say we didn’t want him

That's not true. 
We all wanted Cooley...we all wanted Mooney...we all wanted Fantilli (who knew that we were that close to landing all three).

Some of them are toss-ups though.  We might not get one player, but we get another that is just as desirable as a college hockey prospect.

I just don't want to have a hole in our recruiting class.

Not a hole, in fact people were wondering how we could make room for Gruba if we were interested.

Yeah, Eaves ruined his legacy at Wisconsin with all that overrecruiting.

You saying it every time a prospective recruit commits to a different school doesn’t count as “everyone” on this board.

I legit, one time, commented that I knew that UND wasn't in hard on a particular player (because I was told that as a fact by two people) and words like "everyone" and "every time" get used saying we didn't want him. It used to be funny, but now it's boring and old.

So, you'd rather keep a player who's underperforming? No, we find a new player to fill that spot.

Yeah, I agree with you. But it's easier said than done.

And we benefited big time getting guys like J Schmaltz, N Schmaltz, and Boeser to come to UND as a result of his incompetence.

So should Eaves get a 2016 championship ring?

Boeser, for sure! Hak and Bubbs scooped him. Eaves paid the price for it, too.

Of that caliber? Not really, honestly. TA is not a high end recruit. I hope the kid gets it going again, but the numbers don't lie.

Regardless, I understand your overall point, but I wouldn't be overly concerned. Some kids don't hit. It happens.

You are right. Plenty of prospects to recruit.
