This noise about DuPont potentially to Minnesota is quite concerning IMHO

Rumor within gopher circles is that they are making a push to get him. Tarin Smith, DuPont’s partner in Everett, is a name to watch to Minnesota. 
 

There is no reason to believe DuPont is considering any schools other than Denver and Michigan at this point.

DuPont has been following UND since day one, don't assume that we are not in his top two three.

The way Gopher fans are actin on Twitter they are already making DuPont jerseys.

It is humorous.  They think they are getting DuPont, Smith, all the SCSU players, etc.  
If only UMN had 65 roster spots, they'd have room for all of them.

A few last time I looked. 

I think someone on here said his parents or mom follows UND

Supposedly his gf is going to MSUM this fall? He also follows MSUM on IG (both men’s and women’s teams). 
I’d love to land DuPont, but also think our d-corps would be elite again if we “just” land Carels from the big CHL D group. Only so much playing time and special teams spots to go around.

He's following 12 men's programs.

Grimes to BC

Find me a James that can finish, and I’ll be clicking my heels, all summer.

Wonder how many more commitment flips we see this offseason. With coaching changes, brand new recruits, guys staying, portal commits, lots of currently committed players to various schools will see that their program doesn't have room and will flip elsewhere.

Marek reporting Jack Nesbitt (2025 Philadelphia 1st rounder) and Cameron Reid (2025 Nashville 1st rounder) to Michigan. Nesbitt been quietly known for awhile, Reid had been rumored a bit as well.

Rich get richer. I hope Michigan continues to choke in the tournament.

Nesbitt to Michigan makes me think the possibility of Belchetz to UND is ever so slightly more a possibility now…

I'm hoping that they follow the same trajectory that BU did with all their 1st round draft picks this season.

There's a few other CHLers that were rumored to Michigan as well.  But now Michigan is getting pretty full...hopefully that frees up some for other schools...like UND.

The other school that he follows on insta (BU) seems to be pretty full as well. They’d have to push someone out to make room I feel.

Guys like Carels, DuPont, Belchetz, Rudolph, Preston, Roobroeck are prime targets for North Dakota, but also a few other schools like Boston College & Penn State. Michigan is likely out of space, maybe room for one more new recruit, as their incoming class prior to this wasn't super stacked outside of Hurlbert

 

EDIT: Not getting my hopes up about the Ruck Twins, considering the noise about them likely staying in the Dub for next season

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Evan Bushy could be a depth leader on D. TRF kid so likely a childhood fan

This certainly helps North Dakota’s chances with the remaining top WHL defensemen, especially Carels with Reid being a LHD. I would be a little surprised if none of the remaining WHL defensemen (DuPont, Rudolph, and Carels) committed to Michigan. A lot of teams are starting to fill up and UND clearly has open spots.
 

Ruck twins’ parents follow UND hockey on instagram, which probably means nothing.

Their dad follows UND, I don't remember them following anyone
