siouxnami Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 not sure on mario, did he sign somewhere after his bro got into the air force or still in juniors?? Alex Simonson with a good season could very well become a recruit or walk on. I think it will be a cold day in hell before Mario sees a scholarship offer from UND. BTW, Mario is uncommitted.

I think it will be a cold day in hell before Mario sees a scholarship offer from UND. BTW, Mario is uncommitted. I was about to say that if Mario walked away from a schollie offer earlier (which allegedly UND did offer him one) then I doubt Hak would offer him one now. I'm curious though. If Mario was willing to go to NMU just to play with his brother, why not commit to Air Force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxhockeyfan11 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 i dont think its that easy to get into the air force im sure someone here has info on mario! I just dont think its unlikely for him to possibly end up here as some of you may think for instance Jason Gregoire goes to Denver over UND and then decommites to Denver and comes here coaches to not have hard feelings if the top end talent ends up skating for them in the end. that is all that matters to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Hockey Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 looks like hes a left handed d man, class of 2009, i fund him listed at 5'10, 160lbs, hes another young one and those numbers may be old as well, they are from this link http://www.luciacamps.com/rosters.php?team=1 USA, are there any local grand forks kids that will be on the radar? just havent been to up to date on the younger kids there. thanks. Nothing that I have heard of. For 2008, I think we are solidified at forward and possible one more d-man, but I doubt he would be from Grand Forks. Simonson is probably the best player out of the Grand Forks area currently, and he is a right wing and could come at the latest 2010. For 09, there will probably be at least two more scholarship offers for foward. Kristo is already a right wing and there will be an offer for Budish, who is a right wing. After that they may go for a left wing player, so I'm not sure if there would be room. As for Mario, I would think they are solidified for 08 at foward and I doubt there would be any scholarship room there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonson might have some potential, but he hasn't really even done anything in high school. Until I see some of that potential, I would say Ladouceur, Galbreath or Meland would be the best Grand Forks has to offer, none of which are probably Sioux material at this point.

Then he hemmed and hawed and committed to NMU. Once that commitment took place, UND naturally lost interest. Now that he's left NMU, I don't see UND going through that again. Especially since they are pretty much stocked on 2008 recruits. If Mario wishes to walk on, I don't see Hakstol stopping him. I'm sure he'd be allowed to. I just don't see him coming to UND unless he gets zero scholarship offers before his 21st birthday. I think that's unlikely, so, he'll more than likely end up somewhere else. Maybe a CCHA team or ECACHL team or even AHA. Quinnipiac likes picking up transfers. If he does end up in the WCHA, I'd expect it to be UAA, MSUM, MTU, or UMD. No, I do not have any "inside" info. This is just a hunch on my part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a hunch on my part. How much of this do we really know? Sometimes people post things as fact when it's more speculation, or an assumption based on the limited exposure us internet experts have to the situation. I don't know myself, but do we really know Mario had a scholarship offer, and for what and when it was? Do we know that Mario hemmed and hawed? Or was he possibly up front with the coaching staff on how and when he would make his decision? And if he did have an offer which he rejected, do we know that somehow the coaches wouldn't "put themselves through that again" based on what Mario's reasons were? Maybe you know these things, but from what I recall of the situation I think a lot of this is questionable. If my memory is accurate (often isn't, I admit) then we do a diservice to everyone involved by posting a conjecture as fact. If in fact the situation happened as you describe, I apologize for ascribing this criticism to your post but I believe it is still relevant to many posts you see on this and other boards. I have no problem with anyone posting their opinion, but phrase it that way, unless it truly is fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxnami Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The biggest reason I think Mario will not be here is that since the Sioux first offered a scholarship his stock has plummeted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 wow is this suprising news and im very glad to hear this!! really glad!! Sounds like a hard worker with decent talent, but is this a case where getting the family ties hurts us in a way because Hak might feel obligated to keep him on the team, even if he doesn't deserve it? I'm not saying that I think this is going to happen, just hypothetically speaking, because he doesn't seem to be a top recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, he isn't a very big guy to be a grinder really. I'm sure he can play, and I know you can't get every top recruit, but for a class that seemed to be pretty full, especially with forwards. I'm sure he'll be a great kid, I just don't see where he fits in... I'm guessing he's going to try and walk-on, I don't think there'd be too much in the way of a scholarship. Who knows, I'm not that smart, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I understand that most of the brother duos have done awesome here at UND. I am happy for Mario, no doubt, because he is one of us now, and nothing will take that away. I just don't understand where he fits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that I think this is going to happen, just hypothetically speaking, because he doesn't seem to be a top recruit. This has nothing to do with family ties, the coaches will take a player if they feel he can play regardless of the name on the back. In this case, why not take a grinder that will come here on 1/4 or less scholarship so he can play for his hometown team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
