willythekid Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Wade Murphy of Penticton headed your way? I am quite sure he would be welcomed with open arms if he wanted to. Quote
cberkas Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Wade Murphy of Penticton headed your way? Sam Mellor, Wade Murphy, and Ryan Gropp are all on the same line on the Pinticton Vee's. All of them are uncommitted. Quote
Sodbuster Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 And how highly is each regarded? (Especially Wade Murphy if Slap Shot has some inside info) Quote
cberkas Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 And how highly is each regarded? (Especially Wade Murphy if Slap Shot has some inside info) Rayn Gropp is a 16 year old rookie that Mellor said is the highest skilled player on Penticton. http://www.penticton.../169387786.html Wade Murphy last season had 36 goals 55 assists 91 points ( 2011-2012 Penticton 14-15-29 in 22 games, Victoria 22-40-62 in 38 games). Sam Mellor before going to UAA with the Trail Smoke Eaters 2009-2010 28-35-63; 2010-2011 33-34-67 Quote

I know UND has had really good experiences with Penticton recruits in the past. Quote
as15 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Schlossman @SchlossmanGF Uncommitted Penticton Vees forward RT @wmurphy93: Off to North Dakota for a couple #nottired Looks like he is coming for a visit, I have not heard much about him until recently, but last year he had 91 points in the BCHL so realistically he should put up at least 100+ this year which would put his year on par with Travis Zajac's best year in the BCHL. I'm not saying he is anywhere near that talented because I have never seen him play, I just wanted to put a 100 point season into perspective. Quote
I Ranger Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 It was never announced why he left UAA. A mystery. I'm guessing he'll transfer somewhere else after this year. He's too old, or pretty close to, for major junior eligibility. Looks like he is headed to Western Michigan. I'm guessing we will hear something in the next day or two on Murphy. Quote
watchmaker49 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Why am I thinking the Penticton team use to be called the Knights when Ian Kidd played there? Quote

This link has him going to Merrimack as of Jan. 2012 http://www.penticton.../137323498.html If this is the same person. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 This link has him going to Merrimack as of Jan. 2012 http://www.penticton.../137323498.html If this is the same person. He decommitted from Merrimack in August Penticton head coach and general manager Fred Harbinson said, “These situations are never easy, Wade simply felt he rushed into a decision and has decided he wants to reevaluate where he will play college hockey next year.” Quote
crb1 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 He decommitted from Merrimack in August If he liked Merrimack he will love UND. Quote
Goon Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 If he liked Merrimack he will love UND. Hammy says that this kid is rumored to be going to UND. Hearing a rumor that Wade Murphy of Penticton has committed to UND. I'm sure their people will confirm it (if true) in the coming days. Some Gopher fan suggested that UND is getting these kids to de-committ from a college and then commit to UND. Quote

Some Gopher fan suggested that UND is getting these kids to de-committ from a college and then commit to UND. Or, just like the article said, he jumped the gun with his commitment and realized, no offense to them, but that he can play at a much better school than Merrimack. He probably committed at the first sign of interest, but then he developed and maybe realized he has a future in hockey so he wanted to go to a school to play hockey rather than using hockey as a way to go to school.

Some Gopher fan suggested that UND is getting these kids to de-committ from a college and then commit to UND. I highly doubt the Sioux continue to recruit a kid when he has already committed. Of course it was a goof fan who suggested it. Enough said. But like the Merrimack coach said,he really didn't decommitt since he was committed in the first place. Good point. 1 Quote

Northeastern is one school that comes to mind. And Western Michigan gets a lot of transfers from other programs as of late. Yet no one accuses any of those schools of any wrong doings. That's Gopher paranoia if you ask me. Quote

Yeah very good point; the reason I doubt that coach Hakstol would recruit committed prospects from other teams is the fact that he has come out in favor of respecting the gentleman's agreement when it comes to recruits.

tnt Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Hey, one could say the same about them with Michael Dorr and Jacob Cepis. Those two originally committed elsewhere and then ended up at Minnesota. I don't think those were the only ones to change their minds and end up at Minnesota. Quote

I agree with you that Hak would not do that. Plus he does not have to. It pays for no one to do it. I poach your guy you poach mine. Who wins then? Quote
Slap Shot Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Some Gopher fan suggested that UND is getting these kids to de-committ from a college and then commit to UND. bfd. It was one fan only and I am sure every team has a fan that makes crap up. Quote
cberkas Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Sam Mellor is going to Western Michigan. Brooks Bandits forward Anthony Petruzzelli is a player the coach's could be looking at, last season he was 23-24-47 and in the team's only two games he has 4 goals with two being on the powerplay Quote
Sodbuster Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 bfd. It was one fan only and I am sure every team has a fan that makes crap up. Totally agree.... Quote
Blackheart Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Some Gopher fan suggested that UND is getting these kids to de-committ from a college and then commit to UND. You mean like having Glenn Sonmor and Lou Nanne drive down to a kids hometown to get him to change his mind? I always pictured those two cruising down the interstate in a pimped out caddy, with the radio cranked, tossing beer cans out the window as they hatch their plan. 2 Quote
GeauxSioux Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Vees' Murphy commits to North Dakota “I saw the rink, the facilities are unbelievable and the coaching staff is terrific, and the players’ passion is just as great,” Murphy, a member of the RBC Cup-champion Penticton Vees, said over the phone on Wednesday. “This was the choice from the get-go,” added Murphy, who zeroed in on UND shortly after deciding not to attend Merrimack. He will head to UND next season. Quote
tnt Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Vees' Murphy commits to North Dakota I noticed they said J.P. Parise, when they meant Zach. Quote
