Not to turn negative on UND, they’ve had good teams during that time, more making the point of why can’t people just tip their cap to other programs sometimes. There isn’t anything negative you could say about these last two weeks for Minny or BU. Sure, I can tip my cap to the mythical recruiting champions, Michigan, Minnesota, BU, BC, but who is going to make the trophy for them. They have out-recruited everyone for a while, but at some point that title has to ring hollow. It would be nice to have a handful of those guys, but be careful what you wish for sometimes because needing to have to keep filling in those gaps after a year or two can get harder, but made easier with the transfer portal. Four year guys need to be the base of your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duluth / Denver being the exceptions it seems, there could be worse things then watching high level NHL talent, win a lot of games and make Frozen Fours even if it doesn't produce a Championship. UND fans know as well as anyone, it's not easy to win a Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are complacent just making tourney cause it’s so hard to do One of those five years, there was no tournament because of COVID-19. Another one of those five years, our opponent in the regional final got a bye into the title game because of COVID-19. The other three years, you can argue our recruiting let us down.

It was about how weird I find it to try to spin what BU / UofM have done since August 1st into a potential negative. That's it. My original post was strictly a compliment to both those programs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to remember, Covid was probably the reason they got year 2 out of guys like Power, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Let's bring this back on track. Here's a list of five players I'm fairly certain that Berry and staff are actively recruiting. How many does UND end up with? Keith McInnis Danny Nelson EJ Emery Will Zellers Brendan McMorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re posts all made sense. MN and BU have hit so far plain and simple. as for mn, this state has produced some really high end players for those birth year. MN should have the easiest time getting those kids. Kind of makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I read BU and UMN as well in a couple places. That'd be a big get considering the weeks that those other two schools have had. Full court press, Berry!

There is a better chance of getting all five guys @AJS previously mentioned than there is of getting Eiserman. (So not great). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
