SiouxFan100 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Our problem is we missed judged the top 1-2 years and turning pro guys AND never attempted to get the four year guys. Quote
Fetch Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 AIC had Older & International players & did OK Only 2 Seniors Quote

It also seems like we get next to zero production out of our freshmen classes. I think I heard last night DU got 102 points from freshmen. Quote

AIC, Bowling Green AZ State may not have high end talent...but players stick to their coaches system , and don't 'freelance'...St. Cloud may be guilty here.....The new wave of talented young coaches preach system and not 'tradition'....only alums and legacy players give a rats butt about tradition.....look at Michigan, Minnesota, the Boston's and now UND..,.. Also 'facilities' may be over sold....most teams have decent, upgraded facilities now...ie. Denver, Duluth, Penn State, Ohio State, etc....facilities more important to alums....as is tradition... Recruit system..and the quality of the school... I don't think UND wants to get into a "quality of the school" recruiting battle. That's a fight they'll lose most of the time. Lots of very high end schools in the world of college hockey. Quote

Education-wise they're light years ahead of the schools you and I call home, the facilities are decent, are you talking strictly because Grand Forks isn't Boston or a Big 10 city? Because that doesn't sell it for many kids. 3 Quote

For the next rung of players (non-elite), if they truly care about education first they will go Ivy league and they should if that's an option. Short of going to an Ivy league school.......or having an MBA from Stanford, there really isn't much of a difference between most schools. UND is fine for 90% of the country. 2 Quote

I'd wager UND and NDSU are pretty close to the bottom as far as academic rankings vs other states' flagships/land grants. That's perfectly fine. Doesn't make them bad. I am saying if UND's big recruiting pitch was school quality, they would probably be closer to the bottom of D1 hockey than the top. Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Providence up 2-0 on Cornell. They gotta love it that they don’t have to pay to host a regional but get to play in their hometown none the less. Maybe they send Brown a thank you card. Quote
