Was thinking the same thing about fall visits. They can only help UND. If it's early enough, the campus is beautiful in the fall. And the game experience is second to none.

Sioux>Bison Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 3 hours ago, brianvf said: Are you basing this on the fact that there isn’t a recruit that committed on Aug 1st? Not many programs got a commitment today especially compared to last year. And there is still a ton of great recruits available. No just the general vibe I get from the program the last couple years. Are we still the best program in college hockey or have others passed us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the part where ZERO NCHC teams landed a recruit today? It's already been said, but it looks like a lot of these guys are holding out for official visits. I can't for the life of me see how you'd make this jump to that kind of question. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The lack of first-day commits is due to: a) ND’s abortion trigger law b) Rydell not ponying up enough NIL cash c) In a word, Fufeng d) Aging facilities, small Jumbotron, and dated locker/weight rooms e) All of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard we lost Frost because he was concerned about the method Fufeng uses for processing their wastewater. Also, has anyone considered Fufeng to be a front for UMD spying on our program and stealing recruits? Heard Sandy is a big fan of Chinese food... makes you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has enormous potential and we have a helluva pipeline right now. I think it’s fair to say certain programs are able to grab blue chip/grade A prospects better than us, at least from a quantity standpoint. We used to be in those types of conversations every year. But Berry knows you can grab that next tier plus late bloomer over agers and actually be a better team. We have a solid crop of freshman coming in coupled with an older team. I would be blown away to hang 9 this year but we should be a really tough out and we should be a lock to make NCAAs. I like blue chips more than anyone, but it’s tough sledding right now. The more important piece is having a successful team year in and year out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My stance on this is clear: We are a blueblood program in college hockey. Anything less is unacceptable (Copyright @Goon 2022, ALL Rights Reserved). I can accept mid-major status in basketball. I CANNOT accept mid-major status in hockey. That being said, this year's crop of freshmen look great and will give us some much-needed scoring punch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I don’t know the rules of the NCAA, but Berry and Jackson should poach and try a last minute reach out effort to Adam Fantilli to switch and decommit from Michigan with their coach scandal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
