jk Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 That Sandelin interview was something. This is not portal related, but it's my understanding that the MI super teams of the last few years were largely advisor assembled, or at least got a boost from advisor relationships. So when it seems like the high profile guys always end up in the same couple places, that may have a lot to do with it. Sounds like the portal is more of the same. And I say that understanding that UND has been more of a beneficiary there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's is any secret that the hot commodities that are hitting the portal already have their "advisors" working the phones so they either know where they are going or at the least the schools they are choosing between. And now-a-days what they have to offer in NIL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 If you don't realize these "family advisors" are testing the waters for potential new teams for their advisees you're flat hopelessly naive. Pohlkamp, Cook, any high-ender entering the portal knows the destination before the journey begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark17 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 What will happen to recruiting and building teams if NCAA allows CHL players? I know off-topic but might have relevance coupled with the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Baker Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 14 minutes ago, SiouxFanatic said: Chatter seems to indicate going to Denver rather than UND. I have no inside knowledge. However, I stayed at Holiday .... No, in all honestly, I read a Pioneer Press article a few weeks ago where Pohlkamp said his two options were Bemidji or Bowling Green, where both his brothers played. He said there was "no way" he was going to Bowling Green, and then the article when on to talk about how he wanted the opportunity to play in front of family. Now maybe Pohlkamp is smarter than his age and deflected the real reason for avoiding the sh!tshow at Bowling Green right now. But if he wants to play in front of his family, sounds like North Dakota is a better option than Denver. But I fear its Denver, too. When David Carle picked Pohlkamp over Livanavage for World Juniors, I wonder if it came with a side agreement .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezus Denver could potentially lose both Buium Bros. and Behrens to the pros when their season is done. I'd say they have more of a need but I was sort of hoping would go to UND none the less.

My point is we can't keep telling these kids to go play juniors another year because we are loaning guys from the portal. Too many guys that have decommited in the last few years.
