Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 O' Donnell was also here awhile ago for a series, I can't remember which one, but I saw him being walked around with I assume his dad and Coach Jackson one saturday morning by the Sioux Shop and ticket office. I only know because Coach Jackson mentioned his name and I thought of the movie "Coyote Ugly", with Mr. O Donnell...anyone remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We need more info on this Corbin Knight?! Would this be considered landing a big recruit? How would this compare to Matt White or Michael Parks? I've finally learned, after a long time, that there's no way for us to know how someone's ultimately going to develop as a college player. The younger they are, the bigger the mystery. The only people with a decent feel for how a 15 or 16 year old is going to look as a 20 year old is someone who sees that growth in a sample of many players over many years, like, for instance, the coaches who recruit. The "blue-chippers" that get your class ranked as one of the top in the country don't include some excellent college players. Chay Genoway was an afterthought to the cyber-experts, not even worth a mention, and he's one of the country's most dynamic players. More recently, Mr. Hextall wasn't considered a top recruit in the blog-world. It's a little early, but he looks like an impact player already, one I wouldn't trade straight-up for just about any other freshman. So who knows about Knight, White or Parks. We'll see in one or two or three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodbuster Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I suggest that we look for a forward with the last name of Sir so that we could someday have a line of...........Sir White Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 He's also a ninth round pick of the WHL's Kootenay Ice in their 2007 draft. http://whl.ca/draft/index.php?round=9&draft_id=4 An interesting stat, and a telling one. USUALLY (there have been exceptions), the higher the round the prospect is picked, the less likely the player to go the college route. Of course, Toews was an exception. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that, off the top of my head, the following UND and former UND players were drafted by some MJ team or another: Drew Stafford - Red Deer Jonathan Toews - Tri City Mario Lamoreaux - Red Deer (dunno if he was drafted, but he considered signing with them at one point) David Toews Travis Zajac? I'm not at all sure of Zajac, but I'm 99% positive about the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at all sure of Zajac, but I'm 99% positive about the rest. usually the kids drafted later are considered to go the college route but just in case they hold the rights. malone was drafted as well i believe. its very rare for a MJ team take flyer on a kid if hes even 50/50. i have taken notice in the long list of recruits we have right now that we have NO BCHL players coming as of now. could just be the luck of the draw or maybe by purpose. many minnesota kids coming in the next 1-3 years and a couple ajhl players. great mix.

mikejm Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Another tidbit from Fargo Sioux Boosters Tuesday: Dane Jackson made reference to a comment about UofM starting to cherry pick the prime recruits from northern Minnesota at the expense of UND. He said he'd specifically heard that Mike Lee, the Roseau goalie who was just named to the USHL All-Star team, and who is headed to play for the Gophers, was a sure sign that UND had lost its allure to northern MN high schoolers. Jackson said that UND looked at Lee, but once they had Brad Eidsness' commitment in hand the coaches "knew we had our Number 1 goaltender". Not meant to be a knock on Mike Lee, merely to point out the confidence Hak et al had in Eidsness before he set foot on campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak hockey fanatic Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 i won't be the third person to point out he is a huskies recruit, but i think we missed out on a solid goaltender in lee. it may have come down to the fact that he wanted to come in after one year of juniors, and the sioux would have preferred him to come in after two, so that he and eidsness were two years apart? i know he is one of the frontrunners to be one of the goalies for next years world junior team, and he is having a very solid ushl campaign despite being on a poor team. the fact of the matter is we have a very solid goalie who will hopefully stay with us for four years. eids is the real deal, so i guess we can't lament losing lee too much.

Big A HG Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Good high school and junior play doesn't always translate into good WCHA/NCAA play. I'm not going to consider him anything other than a very good goaltender in a league different than that of UND. I'll give him props when he performs well at the next level.

AZSIOUX Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Any other 'tenders from the area UND is looking at for next year? im sure there are but not sure who. they will need to add one as we all know. whoever it is it will be a guy who knows his role and have the ability to push BE to his full potential day in and day out.

I would think that UND would want to add another good goalie so UND could have a two headed monster like a few years back. JPL and JPar, or KG and Koehler (sp).

JPL and JPar, or KG and Koehler (sp). you dont need a 2 headed monster by any means but if it works out that way where you bring a player in and he shows a little something then thats great. there isnt a top goalie prospect that will come to UND with BE here and maybe the only chance of starting until his senior year. they will bring in a solid goalie but there isnt anything wrong with BE being the man as long as he keeps it up. sioux fans in general are just so used to having a DUO system that last year and thisd year are the first 2 seasons in a while where 1 goalie will play pretty much every game. i dont mind it either way and BE has shown he is the real deal.

With the exception of Aaron Ness, I don't think we have really lost out on anyone. I think that we have a better goalie in Eidsness rather than Lee and asside from that I don't think the rest of the talent in northwest Minnesota has been very good the last couple of years. I would rather have the best players in North America, rather than nothern Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I should rephrase the last post. Ness wasn't even a real loss because his old man was never going to let him play here anyway. His dad has hard feelings towards the program because they took his scholarship away after he was injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
