One and done formats are tough….we should know that as much as any fan base Yeah I don’t doubt any of that. I just meant I don’t think he has enough of a track record to really say how good of a coach he is yet. You know, as opposed to someone like Hastings or Carle who we know for certain are great strategists and talent developers. This year should tell us a lot given the incredible amount of talent he’s assembled 2 Quote

I think Cripps might be a priority (like Carels was this year) based on the potential D needs for next year with only Klimpke likely being ready. I know Pue and Schultz are going to be the big prizes of this class but don't see either commiting this year. 1 Quote

Based on the timing of us likely have 1/2 top pair spots on the right side I think our odds are pretty good to land him. Alot of the other options are likely going to be full on the right side (MSU, Denver, Michigan too assuming Dupont plays 2 years of college) Even if Dupont leaves we just beat out Michigan for Keaton last spring so I feel good about us beating them again in a recruiting battle.

I know Pue and Schultz are going to be the big prizes of this class but don't see either commiting this year. I imagine Cripps will be our top priority as well. Guessing it will largely be a UND vs Denver battle. I had thought we had the inside track on England for a long time, but now I’m a little less sure. Schloss says our ‘27 forward class is full, but would we really turn away someone like England if he’s interested? I doubt it. Not sure what to make of that situation. Quote

Who would be some other D names to keep an eye on for next year? Really the only other option on Schloss' list is Aden Bouchard. Quote

Alternatively, I could see the coaching staff opting for the portal if we miss out on Cripps 1 Quote

Cripps, England, Schultz. Ha. I still think we'll lose 1-2 forwards to the portal after this upcoming season. That's a lot of talented forwards on this roster, and a few of them might be getting less playing time than what they hoped for...opens the door for a couple high end commits. 1 Quote

You're likely right but currently I don't see many that jump out looking through the lineup... (obviously as you go through a season things change) Ashton Schlutz seems like a minor risk being an original Berry recruit. Even looking through the D core I don't see any glaring flight risks Quote

In all honesty I know nothing about him, but based on a quick scan of his EP profile, he would totally fit the bill. Quote

If they can perform like several other Brock’s like Boeser, Nelson and even Faber, I would be fine with a few more Brock’s. Quote

He let Martone sluff at the top of their zone looking for breakaways against Wisconsin in the regional finals, which blew my mind. Quote
