Prospective Recruits

People wondered why we didn't offer Garrett Worth, Grant Slukynsky, or Landon Parker, but we have seen that even guys that at one point were expected to be high draft picks like Ryder Donovan and Mitchell Mattson didn't really pan out.  Everyone can call out the coaches after the fact when a player works out, but the same ones would be the first to complain when we have a roster that "has no talent".   Zach Yon looked to be a great college player from his high school career, but many complained about him when he was here. 

So true.  Spectator sports fans are very adept at the "woulda coulda shoulda what if" game.

Who is Berry realistically going after? Anyone have some insight on potential recruits?

 

Culture over talent....and whoever thinks he's a nice guy.

It's a good showcase. It's a smart showcase. 

Between this and a camp UND has put on in the spring It's brought a lot of very high end potential recruits into the building that maybe don't usually get the chance.

It's something the coaches haven't got a lot of credit for implementing, but it's a good thing g for the program.

 

It obviously has potential, but will Berry actually use it to his advantage?  Or, is he working on trademarking the new NorKota jerseys to replace the NoDak ones swept under the rug?

Man, that axe you're grinding has got to be getting pretty sharp. But at least you've moved on from some of the other insults.

Really like a couple of Moorhead kids. I'd be all over the Soph. Lindberg, reminds me a lot of Frisch.

Reirson has been impressive too and would be a kid I'd be watching closely in JRs

[minotsiouxfan]

I believe Mackley Morelli was named to ND all state team. Certainly has the bloodline.

Anyone know if UND was after Jayson Shaugabay?

Seems like he'd maybe like to follow Oshie and Nelson to the Sioux

Kid is incredible

I really like Ryan Lund, showed a lot of his offensive skill today

Who is uncommitted and D1 caliber in the tournament? Pilgrim and Fisher, there have to be more.

Definitely is, a lot of players will end up playing D1. As it relates to our program….the only uncommitted player i could see is Fischer. Pilgrim looks the part but he’s being spoon fed by shaugabay. His vision doesn’t look the part.

Correct my previous post…Lund should 100% be on our radar.

We were heavy on him…but he was a bit inconsistent in some bigger showcase event and I believe (total rumor) we wouldn’t totally commit when he was eligible and he chose UMD. Then he actually did well in the ushl this year. So our miss I suppose.

Bobby Cowan looks like a D1 player. Would be a major coup to get an Edina kid up to Grand Forks though.

Fisher said he's down to Denver and Notre Dame in The Rink Live's write up on him yesterday.

Dang…if I were him I’d pick DU. Guessing parents are thinking ND

Shaugabay is great but that whole top line brings something. I don't know that I'd offer Pilgrim or Marvin-Cordes yet but I'd definitely be in contact and making sure they know we are interested, really like Comstock too but size will likely hold him back and the freshman Hontvet will be one to see how he develops. Heavy contact with Reierson and Lindberg of Moorhead too. Edina has a freshman West that is one to track. Hill has a couple younger guys and then the goalie Erickson is one I could see popping up in JRs. Cathedral had a couple solid Sophs. Tonka and Andover I think everyone is committed but Scheetz is a guy I really like and he is another one Vermont got committed early, they have been very active in MN last couple years.

If Jesus is the reason for the season in his house, ND makes much more sense.

West could be a good one if he focuses on hockey. I believe he’s a multi sport guy…very good football player

All studies show he will be better off remaining a multi sport athlete. Less chance of peaking early, less chance of injury.

@SiouxScore Is he the big kid, like 6’5”?

Yes I believe #25

Pilgrim making quite the statement today. Creating a lot for himself. Worry that he ends up at Duluth.

I was just typing the same thing. His phone will be ringing off the hook. 
 

Am I correct in thinking that Pilgrim will play for the Chicago Steel in juniors?

My buddy in Warroad thinks that's likely.
