UND99 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 i can tell you right now, he's still very much set on UND. That's good to hear. Make sure he gets here and I'll buy you a beer. He's a fantastic talent! Quote
MissSioux85 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Poganski article http://www.allameric...errer_id=641381 I like this tidbit: Though the draft is in the back of his mind, Poganski has a harder time suppressing his excitement for playing college hockey next season at the University of North Dakota. “I think about it every day when I wake up, just playing college,” he said. “It’s always been my dream to play college. “As a young boy I played for the Junior Sioux AAA team and ever since then, I just had the feeling if I ever had the chance to pick a college it would be North Dakota. Now that it’s coming to life, it’s a dream come true.” 1 Quote

He's a part of that potential amazing class next year. It will work itself out Gersich Pagonski Schmaltz Gropp Mantha Wikie Quote
siouxforce19 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 He's a part of that potential amazing class next year. It will work itself out Gersich Pagonski Schmaltz Gropp Mantha Wikie Has anyone heard if Gersich is accelerating? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 Has anyone heard if Gersich is accelerating? He and gropp would be if so, correct?? Quote
siouxforce19 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 He and gropp would be if so, correct?? I'm not sure about Gropp because he's from Canada and they have different education system, but I know Gersich would have to since he's a junior. I just never heard if this was happening for sure.

UND99 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Good points! I'm sure someone knows out there. Haven't heard for sure if either one is acccelerating or not. I'm assuming Gropp is. On a side note, Langley made it official today in its acquisition of Charlie Pelnik, who is expected to spend two years in the BCHL prior to enrolling at UND: http://www.langleyrivermen.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientID=5079&leagueID=18700&page=73123 Quote
OETKB Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 What about Voltin & Rowe? Nobody seems to be talking about them here. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 What about Voltin & Rowe? Nobody seems to be talking about them here. They both may be 2015, I think Olson and Poolman are possible 2014 or 15 as well. Haven't see much on the two you mention though. Quote
siouxforce19 Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 They both may be 2015, I think Olson and Poolman are possible 2014 or 15 as well. Haven't see much on the two you mention though. Olson and Poolman are both 2014. They are overagers this year. (I think) Rowe and Voltin are both 2014, but that could change. Rowe has been injured a lot in his USHL career, and we'll see how Voltin does in Lincoln this year. Quote

Rowe has been injured a lot in his USHL career, and we'll see how Voltin does in Lincoln this year. Yeah, Olson and Poolman will play out their junior eligibility this season, so they'll be here 2014-15. Rowe could come in as late as 2015-16, while Pelnik & Voltin could come in as late as 2016-17, and Gardner 2017-18. I'd expect Evers to come in as a normal age freshman (2015-16), while the interesting one to watch will be Mantha. He's showing like he could very well be ready to come in next season as a normal age freshman, but with Poolman coming in and only Simpson graduating, the 8 defensemen are set. Thus it will be curious to see if Mantha is willing to delay his arrival until 2015-16. Quote
UND99 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Below is a a recruit/future roster PDF I came up with. It's pretty simple & self-explanatory, but there are a few assumptions: 1) I didn't predict any potential early departures for players who've yet to play a collegiate game. Thus, the only early departures I predicted are Rocco (after this season) and Jordan Schmaltz (after his JR season). 2) Gropp and Gersich were bumped to 2015-16's FR class being they are technically HS JR's this season. 3) I tried operating under the assumption of what we know for sure as of right now (outside of the early departure guesses), thus no roster spots were opened up for potential transfers or decommits. 4) I used the (fairly) standard roster makeup of 15 F, 8 D, & 3 G. Roster PDF Quote
brianvf Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Roster PDF Cool, thanks for doing that. Both the 14/15 and 15/16 teams have the looks of being very good teams that could contend for a title. I know a lot can happen between now and then, but if we can hold onto some of the very talented forwards that are currently committed, those could be some dynamic teams. Especially if Rocco decides to stick around for the 14/15 season... Quote
scpa0305 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Gersich with a nice game last night....G, 2 A's. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Gersich with the GWG tonight in a 4-2 win Quote
tnt Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Gersich with the GWG tonight in a 4-2 win Yeah, second star of the game in his first game, and first star of the game tonight. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Hockey advisor Darryl Wolski says Christian Cakebread (Fargo Force) has committed to UND https://twitter.com/darrylwolski/status/381918321496440832 So is he the inverse of Ben Blood as his name would suggest? Quote
Sodbuster Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 So is he the inverse of Ben Blood as his name would suggest? And what's the skinny on this guy? Quote
AZSIOUX Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 answers my question of we have inside on him due to st Clair taking exact same path! Nice these two are actual AZSIOUX! Quote
crb1 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Schlossman is reporting that Cakebread has visited UND but has not committed. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Schlossman is reporting that Cakebread has visited UND but has not committed. Darryl Wolski has since deleted his tweet. Bad source perhaps? . Schlossman said Cakebread just visited this weekend. Hopefully an actual commitment is in the cards Quote
UND99 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Darryl Wolski has since deleted his tweet. Bad source perhaps? . Schlossman said Cakebread just visited this weekend. Hopefully an actual commitment is in the cards Really good player, would be a very nice get for UND should he commit. Quote
roper1313 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Really good player, would be a very nice get for UND should he commit. Will wait for an official announcement from Christian, but I think it is safe to leave this in committed thread. Quote
