That's alot of recruiting mistakes - or perhaps coach ego. Or maybe he's doing the Mike Eaves roster construction method (half the roster is seniors once every four years, and that's the year you go for Hardware). Quote
scpa0305 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Cooper Zech bolts from Ferris to sign with Boston (AHL deal). He played with Weatherby last year in WEN. He had 28 in 36 games from the point.....why does Weatherby only have 5 in 34 as a forward. No, this is not me bashing an underclassmen....more me wondering why our team can't put up points. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 I thought Robson was a grad transfer from somewhere out east. My mistake. EDIT: Robson's situation is a bit sketchy. He's a transfer, and a guy who lost time due to an MJ mistake. Quote Robson joined the Gophers only last season and wasn’t eligible to play until halfway through it because an NCAA sanction required him to sit out a year and a half when he decided to first join Clarkson after signing with an Ontario Hockey League team. http://www.startribune.com/gophers-coach-bob-motzko-says-two-outstanding-goalies-good-problem/499360561/ Quote

Because he's no longer a "college player"? By that standard any senior not playing in the national championship game would be ineligible because their season is over and they are no longer a "college player". Quote

I went to his bio on the Gopher website and it says he gave up his final year of eligibility, so that’s proof enough for me Quote
