AZSIOUX Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Isn't giersch considered to be a top 3 USA born 96 recruit? Wow what a duo. North Dakota is going to be loaded with north Dakota / Minnesotans in a couple years. Quote

siouxnami Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 These seem to always get down to about 15 one way or another. Quote
siouxnami Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Since he is a sophamore I assume Gersich will be a '15 recruit. Quote
siouxnami Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Wow this was a steal: Dad was a D1 player for the U of M Gophers and his mom is sister of NHLers Aaron and Neal Broten. Quote
UND99 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Gersich was the 2nd ranked forward at the Select 16 Development Camp this past summer. Chris Wilkie was No. 3, Poganski No. 9: 2. Shane Gersich (Kelly Green, 5GP 5-6-11) 5-11/170 ā Was outstanding all week long. Led the camp in scoring and had at least one point in every game. Is the top uncommitted ā96 forward in the country. An excellent skater who is able to pick up steam with the puck on his stick, Gersich makes plays while accelerating and is very agile and tough to check. We do not know who is recruiting him (everyone perhaps?), but our guess is that the Holy Family Catholic High School product, who has All-America potential, ends up at Minnesota or North Dakota. In 21 games played last season, the Chaska, Minn. native put up a 30-30-60 scoring line. We can only imagine what he will do next season as a junior. (Note: Gersich was a freshman last season, not a sophomore.) 3. Chris Wilkie (#8 Grey, 5GP 2-6-8) 5-11/180 ā A constant threat, the North Dakota recruit is worth the price of admission. Will pile on the points in college. While he is of average size, we think Wilkie has a real shot to be a pro because his skill level is so high. The Omaha, Nebraska native had 150 points last season for the Omaha Lancers AAA team. Will play for the NTDP this season; there is a good chance he will lead the team in scoring. 9. Austin Poganski (#18 Kelly Green, 4-2-6) 6-1/195 ā We did not have a ton of prior knowledge of the St. Cloud Cathedral forward, but he really jumped out at us. A tall, lanky winger with great legs and an explosive first step, we are told that the NTDP is considering him for the final forward spot on the U17 Team. Was named to the Five Nations U17 team. A top uncommitted college prospect who is only going to get better as he fills out. Quote
UND99 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Kelly Green... nice... Hah, that didn't even dawn on me until you mentioned it! How fitting! Quote

siouxnami Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Notice he was the first pick in the USHL Draft. This kid has a description that sounds alot like Kristo to me. Still a long time til we see him. Based on his selection I suspect he is USHL or USA bound. http://draft.ushl.com/page/show/510200-draft-tracker Quote

cberkas Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Big week for NoDak - SHANE GERSICH commits! https://twitter.com/...921207853539328 Called it! Quote
jodcon Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 "An excellent skater who is able to pick up steam with the puck on his stick." Sound like anybody we know? Who is currently in Russia? Quote
summy1977 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Big week for NoDak - SHANE GERSICH commits! https://twitter.com/...921207853539328 Just can't help but wonder if the new conferences play a role in this. North Dakota will still play a lot of games regionally, don't know if that matters or not. But either way, it's always good to irritate our friends in Minneapolis. Quote
UND99 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Who is #1? Jack Eichel, who I believe is a BU commit. Quote
siouxforce19 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Jack Eichel, who I believe is a BU commit. He is... until he de-commits to go to the Q. I had to... lol. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 āTo be honest, I wanted to go my own way and carve my own path,ā Gersich said. āIt was definitely a tough process. When I came and visited (UND), I fell in love with the small town and campus. Obviously, I love the rink. And I really, really wanted to play for that coaching staff ā thatās what it came down to.ā http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/252137/group/homepage/ Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Unless sombody else commits in the next couple of hours, Gersich will be the last recruit to committ to UND ever. Congrats young man!!! You were saying? Quote
Big A HG Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Sounds like Gersich has a chance to be a Zach Parise type player. Long ways to go until then, but definitely a great get for UND, especially when it's stealing one from the Gophers. Quote
