Prospective Recruits

I wouldn’t get too giddy at Minnesota’s misfortune because if NIL continues to play a big role, they are better positioned with all the major companies and money floating around than we are.  We can only hope that Schlossman is right and that the NCAA will be forced to take a closer look at NIL to prevent college sports from being a farce.  Personally, I prefer the academic rewards slant that UND is taking.

Worried about this too. We wouldn’t be able to compete with the big schools. Especially with the transfer rules the way they are…perfect storm to lose commits and players. Not sure I like where all this is going.

I wouldn't be too worried about NIL and situations like Eiserman. If a player has good academic standing, between the Alston Award and FCOA, a player would receive around 10K a year from UND. How many players are getting the "Eiserman" treatment? You would think it would be a very select group every year. How many of those players would have gone East anyway? UND has positioned itself just fine in the college landscape between the Alston and FCOA.

I also heard about it on a podcast being more related to family. So I’m more inclined to go with that reasoning. Especially when you consider he has been away from home for a while between his time at the NTDP and Shattuck. 

Considering how much money he is poised to make down the road, this would make more sense.

I suppose you are always going to get guys that follow the money, but maybe a lot of the elite players won't be as concerned about the short term gain, and want to train and develop in a pro-type atmosphere that UND has to offer.   As long as we get our fair share of guys that are of the 2-3 year college route elite players we should be fine. Will be interesting to see if the NCAA makes some major tweaks to NIL.

It's a little like the jury system.   The question is not only whether juries are better fact-finders (than judges making the decisions) but also whether the public's confidence in the outcome is greater with juries.   The real effect of NIL on small market schools may not be that significant (I tend to think it will be), but it may be that fan confidence (lack of) in the fairness of the system will still be a problem.

Completely agree and hockey is a tough game, meaning it’s a late bloomer sport. You can always backfill with overagers to be competitive.

But I’ve seen the landscape change over the past 5-7 years. I was fairly confident the Big10 would beef up extremely quick…and they have. From a recruiting perspective. Just something to consider when blue chips commit. Currently it looks like we have 1-2 of them (emery and Boisvert).

With his cousin Cooley now a 'yote, I suspect Mooney is looking B1G or east. I could be wrong and I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. 

I'd guess Lindberg is the top call they still have high hopes to get. 

My pipeline tracking chart says they're likely close to done save for those mentioned or a goalie (a third to replace KJ Cheese).

I really do not think Mooney has any plans to go East.

He's still a Pittsburgh kid. I rule nothing out now that Cooley is gone. But east won't surprise me. 

UND and Minnesota have been said to be his top choices for months now. And based on his Instagram, that checks out.
So unless that has changed, I just don’t expect him to go East. 
 

Also - if he doesn’t go to Minnesota, I think someone may need to check on their fans. I think they are going to lose it real soon. (If they haven’t already)

Recruiting is so cyclical. We were in Minnesota's boat very recently where we lost out on a bunch of recruits. We've had some good luck recently, but every team knows that won't last forever.

It’s not like Ziemer, Whipple, Phillips, Grimes, Townsend and Hendrickson aren’t elite recruits, it’s just that they aren’t quite to the elite level of a Cooley or Eiserman, but few are.  We haven’t got that elite of the elite recruit much either, and the one we did, Sanderson, we got before he was really recognized as elite.

Not sure which thread is best to post this question, but... Does anyone have a list of the top 20ish 06 and 07 recruits?

(I know there is Schlossman's list, but I understand that to be a mix a high-end talent, players UND will be pursuing, and more local names.  I am wondering if there is more objective (to the extent possible) list of the top recruits out there).

Here's who Chris Heisenberg is tracking for 2024:

And 2023:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4Zo5azvRWMiuN4Puxj5aRRhwOGmt-DENEsRapKxmfI/edit#gid=1310221579 

His lists are not "rankings" per se but general positioning (higher on list is better).

Puckpreps would be what you’re looking for. Rank by birth year. Almost all the information is behind a paywall, but you can search and find everyone’s rankings.

Puck Preps does the best job from my end.
