Prospective Recruits

[brianvf]

Some UND commits and prospective recruits in this game.
Williams and Verhoeff playing.  Carels and DuPont too.
Williams with a goal already.

Williams playing with the Ruck Twins, Verhoeff with Rudolph, and DuPont with Carels. That’s 5 players I’d want to see committed here.

Interesting reply that Steven Ellis has to a UND account under that tweet.

A UND account comments “Missing the Nodak logo on Verhoeff and you might as well add one for DuPont;)”

Ellis replies “I don't put the logos in but you're right!”

Assuming DuPont does go NCAA, I'd be quite surprised if he doesn't end up at Denver, North Dakota, or Michigan.

Maybe Michigan State, Boston College, Boston University, Penn State make a serious push for him, but I really think it's one of the 3 I mentioned.

If I were in DuPont's shoes, I'd want to commit to an NCAA school sooner rather than later.
Everyone knows that he'll be going the NCAA route for 26/27, so rather than field questions about where he's going all this season...just rip off the band-aid and get it over with early.

I'm assuming he is referencing the Verhoeff comment. As much as I would like to see DuPont commit, I'm not sure there is much to this. Doesn't mean he won't land here, I just don't think Ellis knows anything on this one.

Who knows. Every top player in recent memory, like Celebrini and Hagens, committed before their last junior season began. I think McKenna will be an anomaly because he was waiting until after the CHL season to weigh his options and he wasn’t eligible for NCAA when the season had begun. 

Typically, players know where they want to go long before they are eligible to commit. They have their biases about teams that are hard to change, especially if they grew up a fan of a program. Players coming in a year from now have a small list of schools that they are interested in, at the very least.

Williams with 2 goals, Verhoeff with an assist to spring a breakaway goal...DuPont with a goal.

I'd love to see a couple big names come our way tomorrow for future commits...and maybe a good one to finish the 25/26 roster.
POST THE DAMN BAT SIGNAL CHYZ!

Whoever gets Bradly Whang has to get Michael Tang them two on a line would be epic

Gorden-Carroll would be nice to get with Beucker.

I still say Brad Bombadir needed a D partner named Pilot. 

Pilot to Bombadir ... bombs away!

Merry Chyzmas to all that celebrate. I’m going offline during work hours so I am not sitting there refreshing Bryn’s twitter account all day.

Brock England and Jack Pridham

Wonder if Sheahan revamps their system/offensive approach.

[cberkas]

Caiden Pellegrino to Providence

[cberkas]

Alex Theodore to Dartmouth

[nascar99]

Last year, the trend was most of the August 1 commitments were from east of Lake Michigan. Guessing that trend will continue, although plenty of Western Canadians could commit.

Even Sercerchi to UNH

New Brunswick kid. A lot of the lower tier Hockey East & mid to lower tier ECAC programs will be buoyed by more Quebec/Maritimes talent going from the Q to the NCAA.

I swear I thought that read Golden Corral. In which case, find some kid named Buffet.  

Then put 'em all on a line during major penalties, for those 'all-you-can-eat' power plays.
