So UND, having a storied tradition & a facility that surpasses all others, can't compete with MI on the recruiting trail for the bluest of blue chips?

No. Maybe here and there…but not like they do. They also have nice facilities, tradition, as well as some other things. :)

I've been waiting for someone to say this, so thank you hahaha. I'm not allowed to be positive about recruiting ;)

Just for the curious: 88 days till the puck drops….

At 88 days, that's not for the curious, it's for lonely, pathetic, idle losers, i.e., most of us.

We're not lonely; we're here together. 

The rest? No comment.

I’ve been to Ann Arbor and have seen their facilities. Top tier. Better than ours?…no. But the campus and the city itself is unreal. Coupled with the big program environment (football, basketball etc) just a tough place to recruit against. Add in the fact Ann Arbor is 20 minutes away from Plymouth and that creates a whole new issue. Odds are stacked against us. But we get a few blue chips (typically local or former NHL/UND players kids) and we backfill with late bloomers and we do just fine.

I agree with you about the campus and Ann Arbor, but Yost is kind of a dump. It is no where close to REA unless you like nostalgia. Yost is like Wrigley Field--it is cool, but very old and not really very nice.

It isn’t new. But it’s cool, I was there last year and there’s definitely a cool feel to the whole place.

With August 1st right around the corner and the fun begins:

 

… and three days after August 1, when Michigan and Minnesota have a few commitments, even if they aren’t on Schlossman’s list, people are going to freak out.  Maybe that is why Schlossman is going with 30 names, so there will be plenty left on the list when people are in panic mode. :wink:

Quote

This list is a combination of the best-available players nationally with a lean toward traditional National Collegiate Hockey Conference recruiting grounds and players from the area who could be notable prospects.

Two years ago, the No. 1 player on the Herald’s recruiting watch list was Macklin Celebrini. He won the Hobey Baker Award as a freshman and signed with the San Jose Sharks.

Last year, the top player was James Hagens, who will be a freshman at Boston College this season and could contend for the Hobey.

Celebrini and Hagens were no-brainers. This year, it’s different. There is not a consensus No. 1 prospect and scouts' lists appear to vary significantly.

The article has a short write-up on each of the 30 players.

I wonder how many games he played on Vanc. Island growing up as opposed to a ferry ride.

NIL strongly supported by the most passionate, and arguably the largest, hockey fanbase in the NCAA trumps all that. Tonight 1883 along with Berry and players will have a gathering open to the public 5:30 - 7:30. Bring your friends

The Zajic kid is fantastic with the puck....fantastic.  I think a potential first rounder when he fills out his frame in the weight room.  

Another kid Brad didn't list to look out for is Cooper Soller.  Later 08 birthday so will only be a Sophomore this year, but the hockey sense and skating ability were among the best on a good Shattuck team.

Anyone in the know as to who our main targets of the group are and which we have the best opportunity to land? Most of the Gophers recruiting tidbits I've read seem to think they are the favorites for Berchild, Trottier, Lutner and Mason Moe. I guess take that with a grain of salt. And SCPA stated in an above post that Hurlbert is down to Mich and Wisc.

I'd say Tynan Lawrence since he had an unofficial visit here.

Would hope we are at least a candidate for a Saskatchewan kid.
