Wilbur Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Excited to see Keaton Thompson on campus. I think he'll have a tremendous career, and it will be nice to have North Dakota blood back on the team with him/LaDue/Johnson. I would expect to see LaDue and Thompson very involved in the power play. Although once you play for the Sioux you always have North Dakota blood. Or walk to class when its 60 below wind chill.....both will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am excited to see Thompson on the team too. Go for #8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a very solid player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a very solid player Sorry, Zane doesn't count. Lots of Minnesotans are born in GF, they want to be North Dakotan, but not everyone can be. As far as Ausmus goes, I would like him on UND too, but thinking he wants to be away from GF. We can only hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for us to land Ausmus too and as some have said now that he has been away for a couple years maybe the whole getting out of GF thing won't matter to him anymore.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. Granted, everyone is different, but I've been gone a decade and still don't have the 'get out of MN' thing out of me yet.

Granted, everyone is different, but I've been gone a decade and still don't have the 'get out of MN' thing out of me yet. Who knows what his feelings are about getting away. Perhaps it was a response to repeated questions on why he chose Denver, and it was the quickest response to end the conversation there. I would think Duluth has a good chance because they had more of an unexpected departure in Casto, but I'm sure everybody has contingency plans now anyway, so they would also have to put off somebody else to bring him in next year. Sounds like someone is going to get a last minute gift though, provided he doesn't wait until 2014 like he was projected at Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Here is who I believe is coming in. Barring any surprises between now and August, I feel it's pretty accurate: Paul LaDue - D Keaton Thompson - D Troy Stecher - D Wade Murphy - F Adam Tambellini - F Luke Johnson - F Goaltender to be determined Can we expect any of these guys to be immediated impact players? Without Knight and Kristo we are losing alot of scoring punch this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though I remembered reading (a while back) he was the youngest kid to commit to UND, or am I mixing this up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, everyone is different, but I've been gone a decade and still don't have the 'get out of MN' thing out of me yet. Yeah who knows, but I know a lot of guys who have wanted to get out of a place and been back to that place to stay within a couple months. I got out of Northwest Minnesota for college and after the first semester I knew I had to get back to Northwest Minnesota. A lot of times people want to get out of a place because thats where they've been forever but when they do get out they realize how much they really do belong there. If I had to guess though I would guess he ends up at Duluth just because of their D and scholarship situation and he would most likely be their top d-man the day he stepped on campus.

UND99 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Trevor Olson (F-1993) of Sioux City (USHL) has committed to UND. https://twitter.com/trevor12olson/status/322005029231935488 http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.com/playerpage.html?playerid=5498338&seasonid=9358 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Looks like future 3rd or 4th line grinder material...and I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way. Big kid, takes a bunch of penalty minutes (must be playing physical). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He battled some injuries his senior year in high school or he would have most likely already been committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big kid, takes a bunch of penalty minutes (must be playing physical). I just asked a couple of Duluthians what kind of player he is, said he is a big kid that likes to play along the walls, has a decent shot and can move the puck. Apparently had a knee injury last year that may have scared some teams off but has remained fully healthy this season. Once he was traded to Sioux City he started getting more PP time and has turned into a point per game player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
