franchise Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 On 3/29/2024 at 11:45 AM, Kevin G said: Lleyton Roed, Sophomore forward of Bemidji State, signs with Seattle. Roed led BSU in scoring this season with 30 points. Seems like a pretty big blow for the Beavers. I'm hearing UND is dealing another big blow to BSU as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 15 minutes ago, siouxweet said: Is he fast? Was USHL defenseman of the year a year ago, and was Bemidji’s second leading goal scorer this year. Don’t know how fast he is compared to others, but certainly making the World Junior team ahead of Livanavage, he certainly has a lot of talent.

I've heard this second hand so not sure how reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Pohlkamp is gonna have some money thrown at him if he goes to the portal. As a WJC d man and a kid who logged a ton of minutes for the Beavers. I like Serratore. I hope the kid stays where he's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I wrote this in the upcoming season thread. If you look at the projected defensive lineup, what would be most beneficial would be Benoit (Out) and a high-end RHD (in). 4 LHD / 4 RHD 6 no-doubt starters, Jubenville as 7th and Komzak as 8th. Pohlkamp would be the #1 ranked guy nationally if he entered. Game-changer. Let’s pump up the 1883 collective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakgirl93 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 A player like him definitely should play in a more competitive conference. Good on him for sticking to his commitment and playing at BSU his first year. If he does enter the portal how realistic is it that he goes to UND? He's a terrific player. I feel like most schools will give him offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of kissing you wife on the way to the strip joint… To be honest, I despise this new system of transferring and NIL because it has and will change the competitive balance and widen the gap between the haves and have nots, especially in some of the other sports. That said, if you are not going to use it wisely, you are going to be left behind. The word wisely is the key. Years like this year need to be the exception, not the rule. UND needs to use it to supplement and complement their current recruiting, filling in gaps of experience and positional need and role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see many games last year, so I don't know much about the team, but why are you down on Benoit? He rarely saw any action last year, so it seems like you're not giving him a fair chance to prove his mettle. It may have been you or someone else, but a ss.com poster said to trust our recruits & develop them, which I tend to agree with; at least give them a fair chance to prove themselves before letting them go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was me, but there’s always exceptions. Nothing against Benoit, but I’d like to see the classes represented to be a bit more spread out. As of now, it would be 1 Junior, 4 So, 3 Fr. Also, there would be 3 that either are inexperienced or not super high-end. I think it would be really beneficial to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another byproduct that I don’t like about the portal, either teams moving on to the new shiny thing without seeing how they develop, or players moving on because they think they should be playing right away despite them needing some development and rounding out of their game before extensive game action. How many great players would we have missed out on if we didn’t allow them to develop, or if they moved on? We can already look at examples of players that would have looked nice in a UND uniform if one or both parties stayed with their original plan in guys like Halliday and Rizzo. We have seen so many guys develop at different times like LaDue and Poolman, so best not to throw away the baby with the bathwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND needs to use it to supplement and complement their current recruiting, filling in gaps of experience and positional need and role. For me, there’s more to it than that. I think serious fans in general wanna see their team develop over time. One and dones don’t do that.. It’s not necessarily a bad thing when you had one or maybe two for experience or a position need, but when you start loading up 4,5, 6 of them, it gets old. It also kind of hurt your recruiting, because kids see that their opportunities to play dwindle with the addition of juniors and seniors. Kids, especially high-end kids, want to see a path to the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
