forecheck Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 They also mentioned that you can contact Cheryl at 777-3103 for more information about the Alaska trip. Hakstol feels this is a strong and important recruiting class, and they'll come in the same year that the Sioux host the West Regionals. He's hoping they'll be able to contribute right away.

Smoggy Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Did Hakstal commit a recruiting violation by saying that UND is recruiting Toews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidtdoggydog Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Did Hakstal commit a recruiting violation by saying that UND is recruiting Toews? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am surprised the comment was made - hopefully it doesn't create any issues. I also hope Schneider recovers quickly so Diggler can enjoy his weekend! btw, thanks, PCM - the recap is always appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMT Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ryan Duncan is at Salmon Arm and tearing it up. He's leading the league in points per game. He's a little guy, but tremendously competitive and probably a four-year college player. While I would never turn down a Zach Parise, this is very nice to see.

brianvf Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 While I would never turn down a Zach Parise, this is very nice to see. Would be nice to see him turn into a Jeff Panzer-type player. Thanks as always, PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Did Hakstal commit a recruiting violation by saying that UND is recruiting Toews? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's allowed to respond to the question and acknowledge they are recruiting the kid, but that's about as far as he can go.

sagard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 He's allowed to respond to the question and acknowledge they are recruiting the kid, but that's about as far as he can go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. Eaves could use a little brush up on the NCAA rules, but Hakstol seems to be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 He's allowed to respond to the question and acknowledge they are recruiting the kid, but that's about as far as he can go. Hak's answer to a question that people, especially Tim Hennessy, should be smart enough to not ask (coaches can't talk about recruits!) was perfect: You can admit you are recruiting a kid and that's it. Heck, after a kid signs an LOI the school can't use their name, other than to announce the LOI, until the kid matriculates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hak's interview responses seem pretty measured. While I had the same question when I read the recap, I was pretty sure he knew exactly what he was saying, and what was allowable. I agree, Sica. Hennessey never should have led him down that path.

sagard Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I agree, Sica. Hennessey never should have led him down that path. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I disagree. All of us message board geeks likely know who's being recruited, but I'm sure the vast majority of Sioux fans (or any other team's fans for that matter) have no idea who they are recruiting until the LOIs are announced. Since Hakstol is not allowed to mention any players names, the only way the information can go out is via a direct question. TH didn't continue to probe the subject, so both TH and DH handled it fine and no rules violations occured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Did Hakstal commit a recruiting violation by saying that UND is recruiting Toews? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Anyone know the chances of UND landing this kid, seems like a top 5 recruit? Personally I think with the WHL after him, it seems like UND'S chances are slim and none. TH mentioned this last weekend during the Wisconsin series that the new rules with hooking and holding might deter a kid of his stature..

siouxhockey5 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I understand what people say about the WHL, and the new rules, but remember UND has a pretty good track record with SSM, and I remember in a article last year that UND was like the #1 or 2 place to go for NHL talent amongst the college ranks, if this kid does come to college I would have to believe that UND is right in the thick of it to land him.

TH mentioned this last weekend during the Wisconsin series that the new rules with hooking and holding might deter a kid of his stature.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Measured. Like I said, the biggest thing UND has going for them is the fact that Toews returned to SSM this year when he could have reported to Tri City. The drawback is that if he comes to UND, he will probably not stay long. 2 years tops. I would say that it is 60-40 right now with 60 being WHL and 40 UND.

Smoggy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Granted, but probably only us geeks also realize the import of a recruit like Toews. The general public probably only knows it as a name. Rewind back to a year or 2 ago when on one of these shows Hennessey asked Blais a similar question which resulted in questions being asked about a recruiting violation and I think it wasn't a wise move for Hennessey to bring Hakstol to the precipice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hennessey seems to ask about recruits quite often. I remember him doing it to Blais last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard somewhere that Toews' mom is a teacher, and they are also focused on him getting a college education. So WHL would seem like an illogical choice for him. That would also explain why he stayed at SSM instead of going to the USHL. I would say that there is a great chance that he will go the college route, we just have to hope that he ends up playing for the Sioux.
