For example, Aidan Park was mentioned, but as an Asian kid from LA, Harvard and Michigan were safe assumptions as his top two. Sure enough, he follows Harvard, then later followed ND, WI, MI, BU and DU. That’s basically my primary method outside of local buddy word of mouth. It’s fairly accurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That’s what happens when you win titles. Can’t blame a kid that wants to win a title….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux>Bison Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So if we go 0 for 5 or even 1 for 5 are any of you ready to realize this program is no longer elite? Doesn’t mean we still can’t have a good program but titles seem pretty far off for this coaching staff……. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if we get one more, two more, etc.... would you then consider us elite?

No longer elite, so what's the point? They'll probably pull them all off the ice during a practice to let them know that the program is done. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Seeing that McMorrow chose Denver over UND and UMD is rough. Coffee is for closers, 2 is not a winner, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who on here is saying that NCAA titles don't matter? If you can find ONE, please show me because that is dumb. Most on here are saying that it's WAY harder to win a title now than it used to be. There are those that don't want to recognize that. So be it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 If "titles matter" how'd Cooley end up at UMn (2003) and not UND (2016) when it was down to those two. Titles are one factor in an n-dimensional array of thoughts and concerns these kids (and they are kids) have. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably isn't taking anything hard as he knows he will probably only be in Minnesota for a couple seasons (or maybe even one). Again, being a 3rd overall selection will get him NIL deals anywhere. Just imagine what Toews, Parise or even Oshie would've gotten if they had NIL's back when they played. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you puck heads don’t get about that…… not sure I am fine with a dying program You realize that UND has one of the highest rated incoming freshman classes this year, right? Our freshmen forward group is elite. How did that happen if UND isn't relevant outside of GF? And how did that happen despite UND not winning a title since 2016? Your definition of a dying program is vastly different than mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I've seen two different 2023 mock drafts that have Jayden Perron going late first round. I've seen Strathmann projected mid second. As I've said, last year they came up huge, and not just for 2022, but for 2023 and maybe 2024. That has to have some impact this year. (Guys know where other guys are.) But yet, somehow, Boisvert is coming now also. And I do expect more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm confused.... you just said that we wouldn't be elite anymore if we don't land a couple of the guys on this list someone on here put together. Which one is it? Can it be both?!?!?!

UND is barely followed anymore in the state. Again, it's just not true. Many, many, many bars play UND hockey games, every single game. Again, so much anecdotal evidence for you to want to beg us into your premise of us not being an elite program. I don't really understand your motivation. If you don't enjoy UND's current recruiting pipeline, I don't really know what else I can say to convince you otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't change our pipeline after this season, however. UND is recruiting very. very well right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
