I want all the section 8 talent and as much of the top Minnesota talent as we can get.

I've thought Shaugabay to UND was a slam dunk for a long time so I'm pretty surprised to see him pick Duluth.

Ugh.  Shaugabay to Duluth stings.

It’s not really a surprise.  Jay Hardwick played for the Bulldogs and I’m sure Shaugabay talked to his coach more than once about UMD.

Cooper Pierson to Denver. High USHL pick out of SSM.

I'm not sure we had offered him yet. Last I heard, UND wanted to see a little bit more out of him and this last showcase could have been a cudgel to do it. So be it. 

Good player, but there's almost never a time I don't trust the staff on these calls. I love the caliber of player we've gotten so far from Sunday.

Obviously stats aren't the most important thing....but he's kind of a kid where stats matter. I looked up the numbers out in the Philly WYC tourney and he had 2 points in 9 games. As a comparison....William Whitelaw had 27 in 9 games. He was the second lowest point getter on that team. Kind of a head scratcher

Look at his elite league stats from this past year. Granted his team looked terrible, but his stat line was 14 points in 17 games.

Seems to me that he could be a bit inconsistent. Could be why they didn't offer, if they didn't.

That's what I'm thinking

Maybe Duluth has truly arrived and can now offer players early then yank the offer if they don't develop as expected. We've been doing it for as long as anyone else. I admittedly don't pay any attention to their recruiting but can't imagine they've done it much if ever.

They recently did it with Dev McCabe and Jake Hale

Bowling Green, Lake State and Maine did at other points in college hockey history too.

Well, at the very least we know that gfhockey has Shaugabay as a Blue Chippah, so we have a means of comparison in the future.

Jimmy.  Clark.  Edina.

I believe his parents went to UND. But I have a feeling the Gophs might win this one.

Based on recent history, that’s a safe bet.

Sure hope not……Berry needs to put the full court press on here.  And I believe u are correct regarding his parents at UND.

I thought we don’t want blue chippaz?
