Everything up to this point on DuPont is conjecture. His recruiting process will look similar to McKennas with less hype. I expect UND to be in his top 3/4 but on the outside looking in when it comes down to his final decision.

Side note, the McKenna/Penn State saga has definitely made Verhoeff’s decision look better and potentially benefits UND in future recruiting battles for similar talents. I just don’t see that player being DuPont next year for UND.

So I guess that confirms it's not DuPont. Is it a forward or a D? Can you provide that info? I think it's safe to say we all are hoping for an elite forward!

Others have stated that Carson Carels is silently committed. From what I know, there is some level of truth to that. I do not know if he is silently committed or not, but I can confirm that UND would be the destination if he leaves the CHL as of now. I do not want to be reckless on here with what I say. I am just building off of what others have said as well. I do not know anything about other targets, like DuPont, outside of what is public knowledge.

Klimpke's brother wears a C at Robert Morris and puts up solid numbers as a forward. Could be a good portal grab for leadership. We won't need him to skate top 6 like Carter Wilkie.

Carels is such a smooth quick skater.  Nice vision on his backhand here too for the goal.
Williams also has a nice assist as well in the WHL Prospects game.
