Recruiting misses as perceived by fans

Let's get all of these perceived misses by coaches documented before they arrive on campuses so we can look back and see how they all panned out.  

Let's use 2 years from arrival on campus as an arbitrary starting point.

Yes, like most people are saying that UND missed out on Bobby Brink, who is a sophomore.  Alternatively, it would be interesting to see all of the guys who everyone is so excited about that we got and how they actually develop.  People seemed really excited about Ryder Donovan when he committed, and that enthusiasm seems to have waned some already.

If people aren't excited about Donovan then they haven't watched him very much this year. I'd compare him playing style wise to Austin Poganski. Ryder seems to have a little bit more skill and elusiveness but a lot of similarities. He has been great in all 3 zones everytime I've seen him this year and I'm really excited to see him go head to head with Sammy Walker and all the Edina talent tonight.

Well, can you count Brink if he didn’t want to go to UND?  He might be on the market again by the time it’s all said and done.  Not sure Montgomery will still be in Denver when Bobby is ready to start his college career.

Good point, as it is impossible to know if the coaches missed or if either party just weren't interested.  For the sake of this thread, just put down players you think are no brainers that they should be after hard.

If Montgomery leaves and Brink opens his recruitment up I'd have to think Minnesota will be the likely landing spot and they could also have a new coach.

all of these players won the Junior Goodwill Games and not 1 stepped foot on campus. You would think we could have at least recruited one of these guys.

Dont forget that as a team of underclassmen they beat the champs at Eden Hall.
