How many players that are eligible to commit August 1st does UND land over the next year (Late '06 / '07 guys)? They got 5 last year that was in that group. Here's my guess. I think they get 7.

I'm feeling a bit bullish with the Emery commit. Hensler Laurila Lindberg O'Neill Spehar Murphy Frank I'm wondering about how many defensemen they are willing to commit to in the next year or so, as you always could use a bit of room for a late bloomer or elite talent. Will any of these guys be o.k. with getting pushed off a year or so? If they are super high end, I wouldn't think that would be the case, so maybe seeing how some develop wouldn't hurt. Maybe in the case of a legacy like Murphy, you could have some wiggle room because he would need to develop physically anyway. Would think ultimately many of these guys could commit, just don't know how fast that would happen with a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudsSioux Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I think the coaching staff will commit to any of the top tier defensemen. So much can change. I don't think anyone was thinking 2 years ago that Strathmann was going to play a year of juniors past his draft year and McInnis when he committed seemed like he would be a sure-fire true freshman, but one injury plagued year likely threw that off. You also need to account that the premier talents are 1-2 year guys so. We could realistically land Hensler for the 24-25 season and he could be gone before Lindberg is even eligible to come in (25-26). I think we'll get Lindberg and I'm feeling fairly confident on Laurila (60-70%). Lindberg is on a Gopher visit today, but I'm still hearing we're the front runner.

From California. I believe he’s supposed to play in the USHL this season for Dubuque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Lots of good information. 3 FM NTDP guys. Harvard entering the equation for one of them definitely throws a wrench into it. Like you said @stoneySIOUX, can't blame him if that person goes that route. Lindberg doing a late visit to Minnesota isn't ideal Mooney / Hensler. This might seem like moving the goal posts a bit. The last time I was genuinely shocked with a commitment was Boeser. These two would be into that category. Although I wasn't shocked about Emery, it did give me the "maybe it can happen" feeling with Hensler. IF Mooney would commit to UND over Minnesota, that's almost more than I could process. Frank @siouxforce19 nailed it, Colin Frank. I would say one of the highest sought after uncommitted '06's. This one is a complete shot in the dark from me.

Willing to try. Who's "Frank". (I'm not keeping up on all these lists lately.) November 9, 1996 at the old John. First Sioux game I ever attended. Rookie Dave Spehar scored and the place erupted. Gophers won 10-6. Lots of goals, scrums and jawing. Old time hockey during the lull between the North Stars and Wild. My friend and I got a kick out of the elderly couple in the front row with Sioux jerseys that spent the whole game standing and pounding on the glass. Passionate doesn't begin to describe them. Getting young Spehar after Dave spurned Duluth would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Mooney was never going to play Cooley, the idea that Mooney was going to commit to another school while Cooley was on roster really seemed unlikely to me. I would still have them as favorites, but this would have to open things up a bit, you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
