Are the Tapp twins highly recruited or are they fillers until the new coach comes in and starts his recruiting cycle? We definitely are not recruiting at a high level at all recently in comparison with the other top programs in the country largely due to the fact that we have an associate head...

Hoping for a response from Hammy on this one: You alluded to the fact that there is a lot of talent that will be coming through the pipeline shortly with gopher ties. Besides Jack Ramsey, Gersich, and Rem Pitlick who are the others you are talking about? Maybe they are who you were talking...

Marshall was leading the team in +/- until this last series with Michigan State...holl on the other hand now has a higher plus/minus but he honestly struggles all the time. The stats definitely don't reflect his level of play. More luck than anything

Thanks for the read.

Wouldn't you think with the addition of Brodzinski that ship has sailed with Reno? He put up most of his points in the elite league playing against inferior competition also.... Sheehy recently popped onto my radar so I really know nothing about him but his scoring ability as a sophomore in the...

So what is this I hear that sheehy was on an official with Wisconsin last night?

Told ya so :cool:

Yea he is playing pretty insane for his size and age in that league. on the other hand Michaelson....his development is disturbing right now. You would think his current situation would light a fire under him...It will be interesting to see what happens there.

LOL. I don't think I know what I was thinking when I wrote that. Pretty insane recruiting class right now. I'm a pretty happy camper. P.S I was going to ask you a Q about Cammaratta: When he tried out for the national development program, was he turned down or did he choose not to go that...

I'm sorry but there are no Vanek's, Martin's or Ballards on this roster

I feel like the ceiling is being illustrated higher than how they will actually pan out. The team is just too young...this is a long season and the teams with older, wiser, more experienced players will win out in the end. Still, I like what I am seeing for the future of this team.

Thanks for the post. I will keep up with the blog. Always like to support gopher hockey related content....I feel like this team lacks a "great" blog ever since hammy left for the twitter world.

They had 8 Canadians on their roster last year, including fontaine and Connolly who were their best players. Not to mention their starting goaltender was from Pennsylvania.

It's not as easy as you might think when all of the other colleges are recruiting Canadians and athletes from around the country. It's pretty tough to be that good when you are recruiting from just one area, even if we have been historically good at producing talent for a long time. The rest...

Fair enough on all of your points. If anyone other than the U lands Hudson, that would be a HUGE and utterly disaster fail. Everything has pointed toward him coming to the U, clearly. I just know guys that were at his level or even higher like Erik Johnson, Blake Wheeler or Nick Bjugstadt...

He should be fired for being a stubborn ass and letting Hill stay and kicking out Guentzel. Shows how horrible of a coach he is that he needs to rely on his assistant to achieve success. I bet this team would have been ten times better with Guentzel at the helm the last 4 yearrs.

I definitely get what you are saying. It seems to me that some of the potential defenseman that we would be pursuing would be of the talent level where they would probably like to play right away once they are eligible to play collegiality. Still to me it seems like you would want to bring in...

Realized we may end up having ten openings so there will be a ton of room for guys to come in. Anyways, not surprised we lost out on Notre Dame for Lucia. I think it was smart on his part to get away from his dad. Do you know anything on the recruitment of Bischoff since he is a legacy player...

I think I would rather have Cammarratta over Mario but if Mario wants to come and we get all three that would be pretty sick. However, you have to start monitoring how many spots we will have available since we already have so many committed. We are are still going to need to bring in some D...
