There's more at work than just a draft position. Kieffer bellows went first round at bu and had very little impact. According to your definition of blue Chip the six to eight players eligible in the first round, typically UND gets at least one. That being said, many years there are even less than that available. Case in point, Roccos draft season only one player play college hockey out of that first round. Thus the definition is flawed. Just call them what you want. Quote

I wasn't monitoring recruiting in the Hrkac and Johnson days, but the best college recruits today are likely first round picks. Not many of those on the 80s. Quote

Cratter Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Let me dumb it down. Blue Chippers are "A" rated players. Not all first rounders are "A" rated, but no second rounders are "A" rated. That isn't to say "B" and "C" rated players can't have successful college and pro careers. (And "A" rated players aren't a guarantee either.) Quote

cberkas Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Will Cuylle commits to Penn State I'd be surprised if he shows up at Penn State. Quote
AJS Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 UND got their first '02 recruit May 24th of last year and had 3 from the '02 birth year by the end of July. My guess is you'll see a couple of '03 recruits over the next couple months. Quote
SiouxScore Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Hill-Murray 04 Nick Pierre committed to Wisconsin last night. After getting called up as a 8th grader to the varsity late last season he scored 8 goals and had 3 assists in his first 8 games. He added 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 playoff games. Quote

My guess is you'll see a couple of '03 recruits over the next couple months. I know it's become the trend to get recruits committed early. I'm hoping we kind of pull back on that a little bit and wait for players to develop a little bit more before giving out offers. Back to the whole blue-chip argument, the staff could have a spot available for those late developing prospects or decommits that are blue chip players (regardless of how you define blue-chip hint hint). That being said, as you can see from the 8th grade commitment, players are committing earlier and earlier. Quote

Spot on. Top programs go after the best and go hard. A great staff considers recruiting as competitive as the games. Quote
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Not sure if it was already shared, but Cole Sillinger signed with Medicine Hat a little while ago. At least it means Bemidji won't get him... Quote

Also he was interviewed on the pipeline show today. He signed a non disclosure agreement to not discuss why he left the USNDP. Explained situation with a hit and run later too. Also explained the UND mutual decommit. Plans to go back to USHL and to the college route, just depends on who drafts him. Quote
SiouxScore Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Maple Grove JR goaltender Ethan Haider committed to Clarkson today. I know there was plenty of interest from UND but not sure if there was an offer yet. I really would've liked to land him been a big fan of him since I saw him as a freshman and he reminded me a lot of Jake Oettinger when he was at Lakeville North. Quote
