Carels was rumored, but obviously his ETA is 2026 at the earliest.

Yes, I was more thinking of Aug 1st possible announcements.
A blue line with possibly Verhoeff, Carels, and DuPont?

I think he grew up a UND fan. And was wearing a UND hat the Fargo regional. But if UND doesn't offer or the coaching change changed his mind then yeah. He was following UND on instagram but isn't anymore. 

Hmm, that's interesting...

What the heck is going on with Cole Spicer?  Now he's not going to ASU anymore.

 

We may have dodged a bullet.

I heard something similar about him walking around in UND gear at the gopher regional game. Maybe the new staff did not offer him?

The kid is a train wreck and seems to me has gotten some real bad advice.

What's your guess on that last spot?  Pridham maybe?

Wasn't Carels the rumored player that said he was coming to UND after the Reschny/Verhoeff commits?

They are holding out for somebody, probably Desnoyers. Pridham is the most likely guy to fill the last spot, in my opinion.

Very worried Zimmerman commits to Minnesota

As far as I know, he hasn’t heard much from any Big 10 or NCHC schools yet. He took a trip up to UND with some Moorhead kids back in May or so, but didn’t meet with coaches or anything. 

If he were to commit on 8/1, I would think it would be Mankato State or another school along those lines. I’ll try do some digging.

Of all places to say that you are going there to not be distracted ASU isn't one of them. 

I also forgot he was going there

Saw a someone in Boston media tweet that he's dealing with significant injury issues apparently.

Re: Spicer, an interview of Powers I listened to a few months back didn't mention Spicer when he discussed the incoming class. Thought it was due to the size and getting away from the Last Chance U stigma.

If they watch hockey, I'd assume so. I know there are some Gophers loyalists on the Moorhead side of the border. And the locals there obviously tend to obsess about NDSU Football.

Off topic, but I wonder how many "reversible jacket" fans there are in North Dakota, in terms of oddballs who are North Dakota Hockey, North Dakota State Football fans, considering UND has been the hockey standard in the NCAA until recently, NDSU doesn't have hockey, & NDSU Football is the FCS football standard. Like I wonder if Kleven, Strinden, etc down in Fargo liked both or if they were UND all the way for everything growing up.

FWIW, Chyz only follows 3 of the 30 on IG.

Fitzhenry

Geiger

Jarvis

All Minnesotan's. It could be all from previous jobs too (Breakaway Academy or Waterloo).

He only played bantams on in Moorhead, he’s a ND kid. If he gets offered I’d assume he takes it.

How good is Zimmerman? He put up great numbers as a sophomore last year for Moorhead. He is an old sophomore but 78 points in AA is solid for any age. Are those numbers inflated by playing with Kraft?

Pridham seems the most likely as of now

Kid put up points vs top competition in Minny AA too...wasn't like he padded vs the little sisters of the poor.  I think he's a legit college prospect.  He put up solid numbers at USA dev camps and in the elite league.  I think he projects as a middle 6 college forward that could play top 6 with the right program.

RJ Thompson and Maverick McKinnon are two of the top 2010's in the country and both received invites to the HS Elite League as freshman. A handful of elite 2010 sophomores also did:  Gramer, Korten, Hontvedt, and Jackson.  These are 1 year out targets, as I have heard both Thompson and McKinnon have accelerated to join the early 2010's grade wise.

Really interested to see which Canadian 2009s commit on August 1. Brock Cripps (WHL, Prince Albert Raiders) has always been intriguing to me, supposed to be pretty high end.

North Dakota is so deep red, Trump wouldn’t put a tariff on Canadian hockey players, would he?  Word is that Canadian junior leagues are lobbying for it. 
 

Does that post cross the line, Sic?
