UND was never going to go 6 for 6, but this one is tough. Losing a Minnesota guy to Denver is brutal. 

[scpa0305]

Denver’s on a heater…good players coming in their this year. Carle has a reputation for letting skilled players play free. That can be important from a development standpoint. They’ve also been very good the past 5-7 years.

The cities are bountiful; bound to happen. Moorhead/Section 8 would sting.

Did we even want him

Having never seen him play, his numbers don’t exactly jump off the page coming from MN HS hockey as a forward.

He’s going to the NTDP so he has to be decent.

We haven’t gotten a Twin Cities recruit that didn’t have a connection to the program since Berry took over. 

It is what it is, but I think we’ve gotta start getting some because it impacts getting future recruits from the Cities.

I thought Karl might help with recruiting in the Cities, but not so much yet.   Hopefully we can nab a few still.

Cole Eiserman is a NewEngland kid…he’s also the absolute real deal. Fingers crossed.

aidan Park would be a really nice get too.

Lucia's insistence on cooling off the rivalry is partly to blame. Having games there on the schedule is a big deal. Heck, let's go beat up on St. Thomas after they open their new rink.

Just curious from the perspective of others, with the list that is down to 5 - what would feel like "success"?  We weren't going to go 6 for 6.  Since these 5 are decent possibilities what would be the hope/expectations? 5 for 5, 2 for 5, 1 for 5 - maybe depending on which ones?  Just curious.  I don't post but I read most of these and can tend to get disappointed if I have high expectations/hopes but the reality is not there 

[The Sicatoka]

A year ago we "made hay". That plays into recruiting (and recruits) this year. 

Knowing that, if UND lands one of those last five I'm good.
Land two and I'm smirking.

If we get one of the ones I’m thinking we have not a good chance at I’ll chalk that up as a win even if we miss on some others. I love a good surprise. 
 

Realistically, I’d also say we can maybe get 2 from the list and I’d take it.

I'm in the camp of 0 for 5 is extremely disappointing. 1 for 5 is necessary. 2 for 5 you're feeling good. Anything more you're ecstatic. I also feel like although UND is Top 3 for Eiserman, that one is an extreme long shot.

That list are ones I'm confident Berry is actively recruiting and there is mutual interest. There could be others (ex: Mac Swanson / Diego Buttazzoni) that are really good players, but not sure where they would stand.

Diego Buttazzoni?? Ok.... so, we have to have this guy on our team. I don't even care if he's any good 

[Youldy]

Thanks for the replies and thoughts.  Much appreciated and helpful.  This is a fun thread to follow.  Thanks to all of those who update this and it will be exciting to see how things play out.

If the "G-Man" was still at DU he'd surely land him. Gwoz's teams always had the most interesting nameplates.

I raise you a Ruegesegger and a Rakhshani. Don't make me go all Wallinheimo on you. I have a Popadynetz and a Dubielwicz after that.

Hey man, I'll give it a go.... 

Sweatt, Vlassopolous, Crabb, Testawuide, Krushelnyski, Stowkewych, Duggie Lagrone, Fejes, Kivihalme, Gooch, Cruickshank ... I left a couple of good ones out, too!

 

[The Sicatoka]

Release the Testwuide! 

Paukovich, Dingle, Wiercioch, Olszewski, Doremus, Mermis, Olkinuora, 

All on Gwozdecki teams. 

 

Whenever they'd say "Dingle" I'd say "berry" under my breath. 
Whenever they'd say "Wiercioch" I'd say "he's got a what?"

Eiserman doesn't follow UND on IG. That tells you all you need to know.

He follows BU and Minnesota.
