When it comes to a major talent in the portal UND has become the Alabama Huntsville of transfer portal additions.

I thought our additions for 2023-2024 were solid.

Agreed.  A lot of pleasant surprises and instant contributors in that portal addition group.

[SIOUXELEVENS]

I think Zmolek was the biggest add , he just kept getting better all year.

Do we even know what the coaches are looking for?

2 more anti-gravity beds, 4 bunkbeds, and a mimosa machine in the players lounge.

Absolutely, I was just pointing out how I didn't like the way he left.

Sorry, I missed it; how did he leave?

[brianvf]

Oh my.  If Persson ends up leaving, he would be a quality replacement to split with Hobie:

• ASU G T.J. Semptimphelter to portal

He did lose his starting job to Homer in the second half. I’d take a shot at him if Persson is gone.

Id rather see them recruit a goalie or get one with more than a year left.

Randklev to Bemidji

   I think they were more than solid.  Sometimes you have guys transferring to improve their stats for the next level, and aren’t team guys.  Don’t think UND brought in the super high end transfers like Isaac Howard, but they all came in and went to work towards a goal they didn’t quite reach.  
  I will look at all of them with respect though, because they did what was expected of them, and for many that meant getting in front of a slap shot.

   It’s funny how guys you never expect to make an impact, play a huge role, like Sidorski last year and Britt this year.

Basse to St. Lawrence.

Oh just everything seems to lean that way. Insta following, dad worked there, all the major journalists saying MN is heavy favorite. I have no inside info, just saying it’s looking that way. 

If Wood is looking for a guy that can help him put up some nice numbers, then if Blake comes back you couldn’t do much better, and maybe make a run at a title as well.

Ryan McGuire from Colgate has solid numbers, and maybe his dad would come announce like he did for the ECAC tournament...

Oof.   Him interviewing Commie on a One Last Shift segment would be interesting.

What are you smoking? Those transfers helped UND win another Penrose.

Another Penrose and firsr round exit.  This roster is filled with role players.  Outside of Blake what other forward would make the top line of any of the FF teams?  Not one.

Dang, he was my idea for a one-year rent-a-tender while Heil develops.

None of those top lines has guys entering the portal. So what’s your argument? Denver is working on their first National title with a first round pick in years. So what?

Maybe wrong thread but my point is our talent level is several notches below the top teams in the country and we don't have the horses to pull us through.
